📣 Verified Launches (Sept 22-28)

Books-A-Million x POP MART
This week marks the rollout of POP MART collectibles at Books-A-Million stores and online. Collectors can now find SKULLPANDA, MOLLY, CRYBABY, DIMOO, and THE MONSTERS in a mainstream retailer for the first time in the U.S. — no imports required.

Funko “Coming Soon” Updates
Funko’s Coming Soon page has been refreshed with new Pops, Bitty POP!s, and exclusives set to roll out in late September and October. While not tied to an exact day this week, collectors should keep an eye on restocks and surprise drops through partner retailers.

🔍 Rumor Watch (Unconfirmed)

These rumors are circulating in collector groups — exciting if true, but not confirmed by Funko or retailers as of this week:

• 🟡 Funko Supreme-style Drop: Speculation around a new “Supreme branded” Funko Pop exclusive surfacing by month’s end. Some think this could mirror the Metallic Demogorgon Walmart Exclusive format, but no official word yet.
• 🟡 Labubu Restocks: Pop Mart fans are buzzing that a new wave of Labubu plush blind boxes may be teased in the U.S. alongside the BAM rollout. Again — just chatter until confirmed.
• 🟡 Smiski Hippers Expansion: Social media hints that more glow-in-the-dark Hippers variants could appear in late September, but retailers haven’t listed them yet.

We’ll update next week if these rumors solidify into confirmed drops.

💡 Collector Tip of the Week

Don’t dismiss rumors entirely — when communities start buzzing, it’s often a sign of upcoming releases. Use “notify me” features on Funko.com and Pop Mart’s site so you don’t miss a stealth drop if it goes live without warning.
