Have you heard the Buzz? It's Disney Store's first time at
Comic-Con San Diego, and The Buzz couldn't be more excited to be on site
to get the scoop on all the action. Comic-Con is like nothing we've
ever seen before and we are excited to share the details with all of
you!
On Wednesday, July 20th, Disney Store unveiled the Comic-Con
exclusive Disney POP! Vinyls by Funko at Comic-Con Preview Night, and
they started a frenzy around the Funko booth!
Here's
what makes these POP! figures different from the figures you've seen at
Disney Store: Mike Wazowski glows in the dark, Sully is flocked (so
he's fuzzier than ever), Mickey Mouse had metallic paint details and Mr.
Incredible is wearing his chic retro blue suit (as you already know, he
typically wears red).
John Balen, director of toys at Disney Store and Ben Butcher, POP!
designer at Pixar and Doug Ogelsby of Disney Store were there to unveil
the POP! Vinyl exclusives.
As soon as preview night opened, guests couldn't get enough of the Disney POP! Vinyls.
At Comic-Con Day 1, the Disney POP!
didn't stop. Disney Store launched 2 more exclusive POP! Vinyls,
nine-inch Buzz Lightyear and nine-inch Maleficent!
Which Comic-Con Disney POP! Vinyl figure is your favorite?
Ben Butcher signed POP! at Comic-Con San Diego.
If you aren't at Comic-Con, not to worry! You can still get Disney POP! Vinyls at a Disney Store near you or at DisneyStore.com.

We
just can't get enough of Comic-Con! Our Disney POP! Vinyls are
definitely a Comic-Con favorite, with some styles selling out before
10am each day. As a treat for POP! fans, Ben Butcher from Pixar held two
signings at the Funko booth this past Thursday and Friday.
An illustrator and toy designer for Pixar consumer products, Ben
designed the Disney-Pixar POP! characters in conjunction with Disney
Store. The Comic-Con exclusive figures he created include:
Sully Mike Wazowski
Mr. Incredible Buzz Lightyear
On both Thursday and Friday, a long line of excited guests came to the Funko booth to get their favorite Disney-Pixar figures signed by Ben.
All around, the signing was a success and Ben and the rest of the
Disney Store team had a great time goofing around and chatting about
Disney POP! with excited guests who shared their ideas and
suggestions for future series. What Disney characters would YOU like to
see in future POP! series?
