If you're a Funko Pop collector (or just someone who can't resist cute vinyl figures), we’ve got exciting news for you—Funko is finally opening its very first flagship store in Southeast Asia, and it’s happening right here in the Philippines! Mark your calendars: the grand opening is on July 12 at SM Mall of Asia.
During a media luncheon, Andy Clempson, Funko’s VP for Sales – Asia Pacific, couldn’t hide his excitement. “Philippines, quite frankly, is the home of Funko. It's our biggest market. It’s got the most passion of fans,” he said.
Limited Edition Pops, K-Pop Exclusives, and More
What can you expect when the doors open? A whole lot of awesome. From Barbie, Naruto, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Attack on Titan to One Piece, Friends, and Sanrio—the store will be packed with limited-edition figures and collectibles that you’ll want to get your hands on ASAP.
And if you’re a K-pop stan, this one’s for you: there will be exclusive Funko Pop figures of BTS and NewJeans. Time to make space on your shelf!
More Than Just Shopping: Say Hello to the Funko Funcade
But this isn’t just a place to shop. The flagship store is being designed as a “destination store,” not just for longtime collectors, but also for anyone who’s curious about jumping into the world of Funko. There’s even a Funko Funcade—an arcade machine where you can try your luck and win cool prizes.
“This is a little bit of history. It’s the first ever Funko branding store in Asia. So this is Funko history,” Clempson said.
Whether you're planning to hunt for exclusives or just want to bask in the pop culture overload, Funko’s big debut in Manila is one you won’t want to miss. See you at MOA!
