“It’s time! It’s time! NYCC is upon us!”
As those words ring through my brain, I sit here thinking about how fun and hectic the next several days will be as New York Comic Con descends upon the city that never sleeps. Being an east coast guy and never having made the pilgrimage to San Diego, this is what I consider “Comic-Con”.
Over the years, the show at the Javitts center has grown to an almost nauseating size as enormous crowds will flock into the city and do everything they can to keep me from getting my hands on the exclusives I need in my life. It’s always tough and there are always items I miss out on but with proper planning we should all be able to get our hands on some cool exclusives.
With that said, I always want to try and do my part by helping point out some of what I consider the best NYCC exclusives and hopefully show you exactly how and where to pick these beauties up. This year seems to be lacking a little as a few companies who normally have NYCC exclusives are nowhere to be seen but there are still some cool items nonetheless. Let’s take a look at some of the best of what this year has to offer:

FUNKO EXCLUSIVES
This is a pretty big one. Funky items are always sought after at NYCC and if you’re looking for some of the most exclusive from the FUNKO booth itself, there are a few changes this year. basically, here is how it will go:
How do I get in line?
You will need a ticket to get in line for the Funko booth!
Tickets for the Funko booth will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis in Hall 1C at 11:00 AM and 2:30 PM each day. Once you have a ticket, you are eligible to get in line to shop at the Funko booth, which you can find at Booth #722.
In other words, you can’t get in line for the Funko booth without a ticket! This includes NYCC VIP badge-holders!
The queue for our ticket line is up to the discretion of NYCC. It is our understanding that the hall needs to be emptied before we can allow a line to form. However, whether or not lines form before 11 AM is beyond our control and will be determined by NYCC.
Tickets are valid for that day and time only. We will not honor late ticket-holders or tickets from previous days.
How is the booth going to run this year?
We understand it is frustrating to wait in a long line!
In an effort to streamline the process and keep the line moving quickly, we are utilizing an order sheet system. Everyone who receives a ticket for the booth will also receive an order sheet. You will mark each item you want on this sheet. When you reach check-out, a Funko booth worker will take your order sheet and retrieve all the items you have marked that are still available.
Is there a limit?
There will be a strict limit of one of each item per customer.
What if I have other people in my group (children, friends, etc.)?
Each member of your group must have their own ticket, completed order form, and be present at check-out. One person may pay for all the orders, but everyone must be present.
Will vendors be limited?
Yes. Attendees with “Exhibitor” badges will not be able to receive a ticket at 11:00 AM. If you have an “Exhibitor” badge, you may go to Hall 1C at 2:30 PM to try for a ticket.
If I fill out an order sheet, am I guaranteed to get everything I want?
Filling out an order sheet does not guarantee your order. Items may sell out before you reach the front of the line. Your order will be fulfilled based on availability at the time you reach check out.
Will other retailers be sharing any of these items?
Certain pieces will be available at other retailers in limited quantities.
These retailers will make their own announcements regarding what pieces they will have in stock.
