Funko has the hardest exclusives to get at San Diego Comic-Con — but they’re also some of the best, with a huge array of licenses and cool variants. We have not yet heard what their process will be for San Diego Comic-Con 2023 (though it’s likely to be access via lottery win again) but that has not stopped the volley of speculation and excitement.
This year’s exclusives will be available as part of “Funkoville“, Funko’s mega-sized section of the exhibit floor. Like in previous years, we would also expect most exclusives to be available via shared retailers online, albeit typically with a different sticker. It appears that most of Funko’s exclusives will be launching online on Thursday, July 20 at 6am PT.
To purchase exclusives from Funko, or Bitty Funko, you will need to “win” a time slot in the Online Exclusives Portal, which is open now through Sunday, July 16 at 11:59pm PT.
For the Loungefly items, which you can view over here, there will be no portal win necessary and you can simply walk-up — but all Pop/Bag bundles will be sold only through the Funko side of the booth, and thus require a lottery win. Mondo and Funko Games are also not part of the exclusives portal, and will be walk-up and first-come, first serve. Here’s a look at the map:
