Retro Love: Blockbuster Rewind Springs Forth from Funko's Time Machine
You can almost hear the sound of the rewind button whirring, can't you?
Funko, the world-renowned toymaker known for its iconic Pop! figures, is stepping into the time machine.
Leaving the familiar territory of doe-eyed, large-headed figures, Funko's launching a new line that will stir your nostalgia like a long-lost favorite mixtape.
It's the Blockbuster Rewind series, a tribute to an era when the weekend movie night was a family event, and Blockbuster was our reliable companion.
Ah, Blockbuster! The ultimate video store of the '90s.
A place that was home to cinematic stories from every genre you could think of, locked away in colorful VHS clamshell cases.
With late fees and worn-out cassettes, it's the memories of our Friday-night traditions that have painted Blockbuster in the colors of nostalgia.
Funko has recognized this longing for simpler times and has stepped up to the plate, ready to hit us right in the feels.
The Rewind series is more than just a nod to Blockbuster; it celebrates the entire video store culture.
When developing the concept, the Funko team couldn't resist the pull of the Blockbuster universe - its distinctive blue and yellow branding and that feeling of entering a whole new world every time you step inside a store.
So, they decided to go all in. Funko got the rights to Blockbuster's IP and has birthed an exceptional tribute to the past with the Rewind line.
Every vinyl figure in the Rewind series will come encased in a VHS-style clamshell box, complete with a Blockbuster rental card.
It's a delightful re-creation of the video store experience that we've missed so dearly.
Moreover, the figures won't be the usual Pop! style that we're accustomed to.
They're smaller, around four inches, and the design evolves.
The distinctive Funko DNA is still visible in the figures, but there's a shift toward more anatomically stylized rendering.
There's also a twist of anticipation added to the mix.
The initial wave of Rewind figures will have an element of surprise, as Funko isn't spilling the beans on what characters we can expect.
The company has a reputation for spanning the pop culture landscape, and this series will be no different.
They promise a mix of characters from obscure films, classic TV shows, cartoons, and major theatrical releases.
In addition, every sixth set will feature a chase piece, a special-edition figure designed to encourage trades and repeat purchases.
But don't expect a flood of new figures; the release strategy for the Rewind line will be more measured, with about six to eight pieces released each month.
Blockbuster may be a relic of the past, but Funko's latest venture, the Blockbuster Rewind series, is set to teleport us back to the era of VHS tapes and video stores.
So, prepare your hearts for a nostalgia trip like no other. It's time to rewind, relax, and relive those cherished memories of yesteryears.
