WonderCon badges and hotels have been available for a few days now, so hopefully you’ve got that squared away. Which means you’re asking yourself instead — what do I have to look forward to at the convention? We’ve got some BIG answers in today’s WonderPost, including, yep, Funko.
Here’s a look at the news you might have missed:
- The biggest news, of course, is that Funko is heading to WonderCon. Although the company has appeared in the past under their Powered By Funko subscription box label, it sounds as though Funko proper is making the trek this year — and there are some very strong hints we’ll see some Funko WonderCon exclusives. Get hyped… now.
Who are we going to see at @WonderCon this year? Badges are available now! #FunkoWonderCon https://t.co/FIFsRn3wqJ

- Although badges are on sale and still available for all days of WonderCon, if you prefer to sing for your badges (or at least help unload and sell merchandise), Symbiote has the perfect option for you. If you volunteer at their booth, they’ll give you free badges to attend — and they offer both flexible hours and lots of fun. Keep an eye on their social media to learn more.

- You can also, of course, sign up for WonderCon’s volunteer program.
- Unfortunately, comic book writer and filmmaker Greg Pak confirmed that he won’t be attending WonderCon this year.
