Attention, toy collectors. Funko, the toy company known for making Pop! Vinyl figures is coming to the Philippines!

During a media luncheon on Thursday, Funko Vice President for Sales - Asia Pacific Andy Clempson announced that its first flagship store in the South East Asia will be opening on July 12 at the SM Mall of Asia.

"Philippines, quite frankly, is the home of Funko. It's our biggest market, it's got the most passion of fans," Clempson said.

"This is all about being a destination store for existing fans, but also to attract new fans into our menu, because we want the people happy all the time," he added.

Clemspon also expressed his excitement over the launch of Funko in the South East Asian market.

"This is a little bit of history, because it is the first ever Funko branding store in Asia. So this is Funko history," he said.

The Funko Pop store will showcase a wide selection of limited-edition figures and collectibles inspired by fan-favorite franchises, including "Barbie," "Naruto," "Friends," "Jujutsu Kaisen," "Attack on Titan," "One Piece," Sanrio, and many more.

K-pop fans can also look forward to exclusive Funko Pop figures featuring global sensations BTS and NewJeans.

Beyond the collectibles, customers can enjoy the Funko Funcade—a fun-filled arcade machine where players can test their luck and win exciting toys. —MGP, GMA Integrated News
