Funko Fundays – the celebration for fans of all things Funko – is returning to San Diego Comic-Con this year, and it looks like it’s going to be bigger than ever. At C2E2 today, the company unveiled the first look at Freddy’s Funtastic Voyage, this year’s iteration of the event, which will take place over two days.
There’s no word on which two nights the event will be, but our best guess would be the traditional Friday night (July 26) and likely Saturday (July 27).
[UPDATE May 6]
On a recent Distrackers post on Instagram, Mike Becker, Funko’s “COF” (Chief Officer of Fun), confirmed that the event will be the same across both nights, in an attempt to allow more fans to participate. While not officially confirmed, we wouldn’t be surprised to see Funko attempt to limit fans to only being allowed to purchase tickets for one night of the event. He also hinted that it will have an “unusual twist at the end”.

They also showed off what appear to be the event team mascots, including Crown Krakens, Pop Bucklers, Proto Pirates, and Blacklight Buccaneers — as well as the treasure-chest themed Box of Fun.
Here’s a look at both, from @flippiefloppies on Twitter:
Additionally, @Distrackers on Twitter got a look at this year’s Funkoville, which is themed to Funko Airways, as Funko continues their 2024 tour of Chicago (C2E2), Mexico (CCXP), San Diego (SDCC), and New York (NYCC). Attendees at C2E2 this weekend were able to get a passport for $5 to be stamped at each location, and that looks to be continuing at SDCC as well.
There’s no word yet on when tickets for this year’s Fundays will go on sale, but they launched on June 9 last year.
Let’s just hope the food is better this year.
