ECCC 2019: Funko Unveils Incredible Collectible Lineup for Emerald City Comic Con

A look at Funko’s exclusive ECCC 2019 collectibles

This week is Emerald City Comic Con (ECCC). Running Thursday, March 14 to Sunday, March 17 in Seattle, Washington, it’s the largest comic and pop culture show in the Pacific Northwest. It’s the first major convention of the year and will likely surpass six-digit attendance numbers this year. Washington also happens to be the home of Funko.

Unsurprisingly, the Funko marketing crew is psyched to promote the brand locally. In addition to the now traditional live-recording of the Funko Funkast podcast at the con, they’re using the home advantage to host a kickoff party at the Funko headquarters in Everett, WA on the Wednesday before the con begins. Both events promise fun opportunities to interact with the Funko team, who are essentially the face of the company alongside CEO Brian Mariotti, as well as awesome prizes. The company’s motto states, “Come for the toys, stay for the people,” so what are this year’s exclusive ECCC collectibles?

  • ‘Three Billboards’ trailer looks compellingly sharp (Includes first-hand account)

    A truly great trailer entices viewers to watch a soon-to-be-released film without revealing too much of the story — particularly not the narrative’s key twists, best jokes or scares, or the entire film’s trajectory. These skillfully ambiguous trailers are no longer the norm as it’s not uncommon to finish watching a preview for a movie and feel as if you’ve just seen the whole thing; but occasionally a studio finds this balance of creating temptation through vagueness that convinces moviegoers to head to the theatres once it’s released. Fox Searchlight appears to have done so with the trailer for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.

  • Edgar Wright’s ‘Baby Driver’ is on the road to success (Includes first-hand account)

    It’s common for there to be a few years between writer/director Edgar Wright‘s projects, but it’s always worth the wait. It’s been four years since his sci-fi comedy The World’s End came out, so schedule dictates he was due for another big screen appearance. Wright’s latest picture, Baby Driver, had its premiere at SXSW last night. But for all those who couldn’t be there, they’ve released the official and international trailers to build anticipation for the summer 2017 release.

  • Chris Cornell provides original song for Armenian genocide movie (Includes first-hand account)

    A great story has the ability to attract exceptional talent who are excited to contribute in any capacity. The Promise was an official selection at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival and is set in 1914 during the Armenian genocide in the Ottoman Empire. The film stars Academy Award winner Christian Bale and Golden Globe winner Oscar Isaac, and is directed by Academy Award winner Terry George who also helmed Hotel Rwanda. And now it features a new original song by multi-Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Chris Cornell.

  • ‘Ant-Man’ teaser trailer no small matter (video)

    There are some gimmicks just too good to pass up. Marvel found that to be the case during the promotion leading up to the debut of the teaser trailer for Ant-Man during the pilot episode of the studio’s new television series, Agent Carter, last night.

  • Film vs. Digital: Can there ever be a winner?

    Anyone can make a movie now. The rise of digital as a legitimate film medium and the availability of affordable, high-quality cameras have democratized the industry. A great story and relatively decent production values is all a picture needs to gain recognition — Sundance indie hit, Tangerine, was shot entirely on an iPhone. The manner by which it was shot has become irrelevant to audiences as the advances in technology have virtually eliminated any perceptible differences between film and digital productions. However the debate in Hollywood wages on with a handful of purists fighting to keep celluloid alive. The reality is the transition was rapid and today the majority of filmmaking no longer actually involves film.

  • Star Wars announces new teaser trailer & Twitter emojis

    It’s been a while since a Star Wars Celebration has actually been able to hail a new addition to the franchise. But with the release of J.J. Abrams‘ Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens at the end of the year, this event was going to be special. Day one of the fan convention included a highly anticipated Q&A with Abrams; Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy; stars of the new film, Oscar Isaac, John Boyega and Daisy Ridley; veterans of the original saga Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Peter Mayhew and Anthony Daniels; as well as the team that created the film’s robots and a group of Stormtroopers.
