Exclusives vs Chases

                            

This year we had a first for JMD Retail. We got our very first exclusive. It is a JMD Retail exclusive Big Bang Theory POP Amy Farrah Fowler. As much as I love coming across different exclusives I can’t help but wonder which is more exciting, exclusives or chase variants?

               

    Funko has a wide variety of exclusives out there but also a wide variety of chases as well. As a retailer when I open a case of Batman POPs all I can think about is whether or not I will come across a metallic chase. When I find a new store with a good Funko selection I start searching for variants. For me I love the creativity and uniqueness of exclusives but nothing compares to the thrill of the hunt for the chase variants. Which are your favorites?

            

SDCC

So with San Diego Comic Con 2012 starting, it makes me realize how much I need to make it out to SDCC one of these years.  I’ve been to local comic cons, traveled to national music festivals, and even got to go to the New York Toy Fair.  Somehow I’ve never gotten a trip to San Diego coordinated during SDCC.  I can imagine seeing all the diehard fans, costumes, comic companies, and the special guests–not to mention the exclusive action figures and statues…  This is a place that I’ve got to make it to next year.  SDCC ’13 look out.  Do you have any good SDCC stories?  We’d love to hear them!
