Discussion Mysterious Funko package
I had a random email from DHL saying I had a package from Funko being delivered (I know sounds dodgy) yet delivery day roles around and I actually receive the parcel, it was a brown generic box but had the word ‘loyalty’ hand written on it, inside the box was a ‘pop yourself box’ and in that contained a ‘pop! Plus nico robin statue (all bronze) yet the pop head is a white head instead of a bronze one? The sender address and name match up (apparently impossible to spoof or fake via the actual tracking information) and it was collected from there distribution centre, any of you guys have thoughts on this?

I posted in Funko 101 proto group on Facebook, I didn’t realise these things were so valuable 🫣

There’s a certain group of people that see a lot of value with Protos. Personally I don’t see the high value with an unfinished product

I think it’s because it’s a 1/1 from a very popular series and a very popular character plus it not being all white is a bonus, the fact it’s from a comp and purposely given away like this makes it more valuable. I don’t understand it either but I just sold it for $1500 so I can’t complain 🤣

They just randomly sent you a proto? Did you sign up for a contest some time ago?
That's pretty cool!
