Join Perri (and Perri-Pop!) on a tour around Funkoville at the SDCC!
As soon as something's gone, we very quickly find a reason to bring it back into our lives again — and that's very much the case with Blockbuster Video, which is a major feature of this year's Funko booth at San Diego Comic-Con. Ahead of the official start of the convention, Collider's Perri Nemiroff stopped by the expansive Funko booth to see what the fan-favorite company was bringing to the convention this year.
Stepping into a Blockbuster store was like entering a treasure trove of cinematic delights. The familiar blue and yellow signage, rows upon rows of movie covers lining the shelves, and the distinct smell of popcorn in the air all contributed to the unique ambiance. It was a rite of passage to go and browse the VHS cases and pick the movie for the weekend. The final Blockbuster Video store lies in Bend, Oregon. It markets itself as "The Last Blockbuster".
The Blockbuster additions to the booth come in the form of iconic VHS covers that encase special edition Funko Pop figures, particularly from those famous Disney animated classics like Pinocchio, Toy Story, Beauty and the Beast and Fantasia. And for those more enthusiastic about chaos theory, Dr. Ian Malcolm is hiding out inside the Jurassic Park cassette case.
