In Partnership with the Iconic Home Video Retail Pioneer, Funko Will Debut Select Rewind Products at Fun on the Run

EVERETT, Wash. – Funko, Inc. (Nasdaq: FNKO), in partnership with ‘90s retail giant Blockbuster, announced the debut of its retro entertainment product line, Rewind, focused on delivering nostalgia directly to consumers through collectibles and packaging fashioned around the iconic Blockbuster design. Each newly designed collectible figure comes encased in VHS-type packaging unique to each IP, reminiscent of a time before Y2K when VHS reigned supreme. Giving fans the opportunity to relive the cherished memory of renting a movie on a Friday night with family and friends, each figure will also come with a membership card designed to mirror Blockbuster’s memorable design.

“With the resurgence of ‘80s and ‘90s trends, Funko is bringing the best pop culture film moments home with Rewind, helping fans connect over shared memories, while simultaneously complementing the product options from our most sought-after product line,” said CEO Brian Mariotti.

Rewind figures will differ from the typical Funko aesthetic, allowing the brand to innovate in a new way while simultaneously celebrating the nostalgia and overall creativity of the ‘80s, ‘90s and ‘00s. Funko offers consumers the opportunity to relive their childhood as original Blockbuster customers and share that one-of-a-kind experience with friends, family and kids for the first time through the new line.

“Our partnership with Blockbuster, one of the most well-known retail chains in entertainment, will provide our fans with the opportunity to be on the precipice of vintage pop culture and entertainment,” added Mariotti. “Steeped in nostalgia, Rewind expertly showcases the breadth of our licensing pedigree, providing consumers with a new way to access and embrace the pop culture titans that defined a generation in a way that is unique to Funko.”

Rewind stands as the latest addition to Funko’s extensive range of collectible products, offering fans yet another innovative way to connect with their favorite fandoms. Funko’s ever-growing roster of innovative products includes beloved staples such as GOLD and Soda, the recently released Bitty Pop! line as well as the upcoming Funko Fusion video game coming in 2024.
