Thanks to one of our Aussie members over on the Funko Trading Facebook group, Shawne Ireland, we have learned that the very popular Convention Exclusive line of Stan Lee Funko Pop! Vinyls will be continuing this summer, with the first look at the “Supernova Stan”.
For the first time in almost 30 years, Stan Lee is coming back to Sydney for the Supernova Pop Culture Expo- Sydney (June 13th-15th) , and they are celebrating with a commemorative POP! Vinyl. Details from the Supernova website :
We consider it a great honour that the pop-culture mogul whom fans fondly call “Generalissimo” has nominated our event to say “Excelsior, and ‘Nuff said!”.
We are also Supa-excited to announce that there will be a special Supanova Sydney exclusive Stan Lee Pop Vinyl figure (see below) plus an awesome Adam Hughes print to celebrate the occasion which will be included in premium ticket packages that are being prepared for your consideration. Further limited quantities may also be available separately. Stay tuned for more details on these collectables and how to make one of these Supa-cute Generalissimo’s, and Adam Hughes’ Stan Lee print, your very own! Excelsior!
This is awesome news for our friends “down under”, who have had to scramble to get their hands on one of the five Stans already released (NYCC and Comikaze in 2013; Excelsior, True Believers, and ‘Nuff Said so far in 2014). This is also wonderful news to us who love the Stan Lee line and wanted to see it continue. When I talked to Tony from Convention Exclusive last year at NYCC, he was hoping they would be a hit, which would pave the way towards more releases. Looks like that happened.
Stay tuned to PopVinyls.com for updates as we find out more information on “Supernova Stan”.
In related news, Convention Exclusive, who holds the production rights to the Stan Lee mold, will be releasing their online stock of the 5th Stan Lee POP! (‘Nuff Said, available at Megacon 2014) tomorrow, April 3, 2014, at Noon EST. They also have up on their site still the 3rd and 4th Stan Lee POP!s (Excelsior and True Believers). You can find all of their products at their website.
