Delayed Disney Trick or Treat Funko Pops Relaunch For Halfway to Halloween
During last year's Funkoween event, several Disney Trick or Treat Funko Pops were launched but the candy corn-themed Minnie and Donald designs were delayed. After a full year of waiting, those Pops are back up for pre-order here at Entertainment Earth with a release date set for June (free Super Saver US shipping on orders $59+ using the code FREESHIP59). You can also find the Donald Duck Trick or Treat Funko Pop here on Amazon with a July release date.
Speaking of Funkoween, Funko traditionally holds their halfway to Halloween / Funkoween event in May, but the month is drawing to a close and there hasn't been an official announcement thus far. What's more, Pop figures that we would have expected to be reserved for Funkoween have been trickling out over the last couple of days. This includes a Victor and Emily Movie Moment Funko Pop from the 2005 Tim Burton film Corpse Bride and today's re-release of the Disney Donald and Minnie Trick or Treat Pops. Has Funkoween 2023 been cancelled? We'll have to wait and see. In the meantime, you can grab the Disney Minnie and Donald Trick or Treat Funko Pops and check out the Corpse Bride exclusive below.
Much like the poster for the film, the new Corpse Bride Movie Moment Pop figure depicts Victor Van Dort holding hands with Emily the Corpse Bride while Victor's beloved undead dog Scraps watches on. The figure is a Spirit Halloween exclusive, and they're selling it directly on the Spirit Halloween website and via Amazon priced at $39.99. You can find more of their spooky Funko Pop exclusives right here.
