- Although Funko announced awhile ago that their booth at WonderCon would be offering their subscription boxes for Marvel’s Collector Corps, Star Wars‘ Smuggler’s Bounty, and DC’s Legion of Collectors, if you’re wondering if you’ll be able to get your hands on past boxes? Wonder no more. Funko revealed to a fan on Twitter that they will indeed be offering past subscription boxes at WonderCon – but judging by the current popularity of Funko’s booth at other conventions, the past sub boxes might not last long.
