Scheduled to launch this June at SM Mall of Asia, the store is expected to offer exclusive product releases and interactive zones. Funko Pop collectors can anticipate a wide array of collectibles, including the iconic Funko Pop! line, Bitty Pop!, Loungefly, and Manila-exclusive apparel.
According to Funko CEO Cynthia Williams, the Filipino fan community is one of their top-performing markets in Asia.
“As a global brand, Funko is committed to expanding our presence in the most engaged and fastest-growing fan communities,” she said in a press release.
“The Philippines has been one of our strongest-performing markets in Asia, and this licensed store represents our investment in its passionate fanbase. We’ve seen great success with similar licensed stores in the Middle East, and we’re excited to bring that same momentum here.”
Funko is best known for its pop culture collectibles, particularly vinyl figurines and bobbleheads, which have since expanded to plush toys, action figures, apparel, accessories, and games.
