Five Hocus Pocus Product Finds May 2022

5/28/2022

May is coming to an end, which also means that we're another month closer to Halloween and Hocus Pocus 2!

This month has definitely been a great month for Hocus Pocus fans, first we had Funkoween, which revealed a brand new Movie Moments Pop, along with a new card game.

If that wasn't enough, Disney FINALLY revealed the release date for Hocus Pocus 2. The sequel will release exclusively on Disney+ September 30th 2022!

And finally here's five more new Hocus Pocus products that you can look forward to this year too.

Funko Movie Moments Pop!

During Funkoween, a brand new Movie Moments Hocus Pocus Pop! was revealed.

This new Pop features the Sanderson Sisters during their 'I Put A Spell On You' scene. All three of the witches are standing on a small stage while Winifred cast's her magic and Mary and Sarah stand behind microphones.

It's great to see another new Pop in the Hocus Pocus line of products, but where are Max, Allison, Jay, Ice etc? We NEED those characters too!

This new Pop! will be released exclusively at Spirit Halloween this July in the USA and will be coming to Shop Disney in the UK and across Europe later this year.

Billy Butcherson T Shirt

Billy Butcherson is definitely one of my favourite characters from Hocus Pocus and it was a nice surprise to come across this Billy T shirt on Amazon.

This official tee is printed to order by Amazon, but is sold within the Disney Amazon Store. You can also pick this design up on multiple products including a sweater and vest.

I personally went for the vest (Summer is creeping closer) and I can happily say it's great quality and the fit is perfect, so if you are curious about the sizing, stick to your regular size.

You can pick this up right here.

Hocus Pocus Colouring Book

If you listen to mine and Ally's (@HocusPocusCollectors) Hocus Pocus podcast, you will have listened to us talking all about Hocus Pocus merchandise in Episode 2.

In the episode we discuss an upcoming Hocus Pocus colouring book that is due for release this year, well it now appears that there will be two colouring books being released this year instead.

Disney are releasing another official colouring book that contains over 80 different colouring designs. This new book is due for release September 15th 2022, so just in time for the upcoming sequel.

You can pre-order the new book right here.

Dennison House Decoration

I recently features The Cats Meow on Mays Ten Spooky Product Finds list but had to include this store on this months Hocus Pocus list too.

The Cats Meow store is filled with these wonderful wooden decorations that feature different locations around Salem and you can get your hands on the Dennison House, Thackery Binx's House, Allison's House and more!

If you place all of these together you'll have your very own mini Hocus Pocus village or buy other Salem locations to create your own mini city of Salem too.

Check out all of the wonderful decorations available right here.

Hocus Pocus Tricks and Wits Card Game

The final product on this months list is the brand new Hocus Pocus Trick and Wits card game.

This new card game was revealed during Funkoween and will be released later this year.

Disney Hocus Pocus Tricks & Wits Card Game The Sanderson Sisters have risen again, and only Max, Dani, and Allison can stop them! Split into two teams—Kids versus Witches—and work together to outsmart your opponents with clever card play. Get the ghastly spellbook before the black flame candle burns out to win!

The game includes a glittery die and Black Flame Candle too. You can sign up for notifications from Funko Europe right here and be sure to check many other stores that will have this game available later this year too.

Funkoween 2021! Check Out All Of The Spooky Funko Releases You Need This Year!

5/29/2021

0 Comments

Funkoween 2021 has arrived and we've been treated to SO MANY new treats for this year.

Last years event was amazing, but they have truly outdone themselves this year with brand new Trick 'r Treat, Boo Hollow, Carrie, Brightburn, Marvel, The Office releases and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Check out all of the new Funko products that have been revealed below and then make space on your shelves as you'll be needing it!

Paka Paka - Boo Hollow

How adorable are these? Paka Paka Boo Hollow characters will be available as Pops, Plushies and Mystery Minis. I honestly cannot decide which one I need more, so i'm going with all of them. Every. Last. One!

Disney Villains

Disney Villains are getting more new releases with new characters, large pops, minis, plush dolls and limited edition releases. The new release of Maleficent in dragon form is ten inches high and is available as a glow in the dark variant exclusively from Amazon.

My favourite release from this collection is definitely Ursula on her throne. I think the fact they've included Flotsam and Jetsam really mades this a must have pop for Disney Villain collectors.

Hocus Pocus!

It's no surprised that a new Hocus Pocus Pop has been revealed. Funko have been releasing new HP pops for the past few years now and I am over the moon to see Dani and Binx are finally getting the Pop treatment. Two brand new Hocus Pocus Funko T-shirts will also be joining Dani this year too.

The new pop features Dani in her famous witch costume, with Binx curled up in her arms. I absolutely love this Pop and although I was hoping to see more characters this year, it's great to see that Funko are extending even further into the Hocus Pocus range. Dani will be exclusive to Spirit Halloween in the USA and Shop Disney in the UK and Europe.

Jaws

Fans of the classic film Jaws should be pleased to see that not only is a new Jaws Pop being released but it's a movie moments Pop! This large Pop is incredible and definitely one for fans of the film.

Halloween

The entire Halloween movie franchise is definitely in my top ten list of all time favourite films and Funko are treating us to three new Michael Myers pops. You'll be able to grab a standard and bloody variant of Michael. A new 10 inch Jumbo pop will also be available!

There will also be brand new Halloween 2 Loungefly products also.

Stitch

Stitch has definitely had a Halloween makeover this year with a brand new Jack O'Lantern pop, plush and loungefly treats!

Gremlins

Another film that I absolutely love has to be Gremlins and it's so great to see these brand new Pops! They're available in 4 different designs with a jumbo sized Gizmo also being available and two mini keychain Pops too.

The Nightmare Before Christmas

It definitely would not be Funkoween without The Nightmare Before Christmas making an appearance. This year Funko are releasing a whole heap of new NBC products, including the absolutely amazing train Pops! The train has Jack at the front with Sally, Oogie, Mayor, Zero and the Clown all hooked behind. I am already making plans for making this train a feature when decorating for Halloween this year.

New NBC Pops from Funko's Art Series will also be available in 6 different designs, along with a large Jack on the Snowmobile Pop too. Throw in 4 new keychains, a card game, t-shirts and a Mayor pop and you've got yourself one very spooky Halloween feast for the eyes.

Corpse Bride

A new Corpse Bride Pop is on the way and this time it includes her maggot friend, lovingly popping out of her eye socket. There's also a new SODA Corpse Bride figure two which will available in a standard and Chase variant.

Trick 'r Treat

It's so great to see another Trick 'r Treat Pop being released this year and this time it's unmasked Sam that will be joining the range. This particular pop is exclusive to Hot Topic in the USA and Pop in a Box in the UK. Although it's nice to see another TrT release, I would love to see a few other characters from the film. Rhonda would be an amazing addition!

General Mills

Sadly General Mills cereal is not a thing here in the UK. Every Halloween I wish to see boxes of this cereal in UK supermarkets but unfortunately it's never the case.... that doesn't mean we can't enjoy the Pops though! 3 new cereal bowl and watch Funko releases will be joining 3 new SODA Pop figures this year!

Marvel

New Marvel Pops will be available from Venom, Thor and Hulk! You'll be able to get your hands on new Venom Pop pens too, which will be available in four different designs.

They Live

If I told you this film terrified me as a kid, it would be an understatement. They Live truly was the thing of nightmares when I was growing up, but having watched it again recently and realising how good it is, i'm over the moon to see it's received a Pop makeover.

John Nada with his alien-revealing sun glasses is being released alongside one of the aliens, which is available in two variants.

Evil Dead

Ash Williams is once again receiving the Pop treatment with two new releases. The first being a new Funko Pop figure available in two different variants. Joining him is.... well himself but as a SODA release.

Universal Monsters

Three new Universal Monster Pops are on the way. You can grab Dracula, Frankenstein's Bride and Wolfman Pops, as well as new Loungefly products.

Funko have also teamed up with Little Golden Books to release a Funko Universal Monster children's book too.

SODA

New Vampire Mickey, Ghostbusters, Edward Scissorhands and more SODA Funko figures are being released!

DC

A total of ten new Dia De Los DC Hero Pops will be joining the already huge range of DC Pops. These new releases include Harley Quinn, The Joker, Bane, Batman and more, all with a Die De Los inspired makeover.

The Office USA

Who doesn't love The Office USA? I was never a fan of the UK version but was hooked by the USA show. Adding to their already large catalogue of The Office Pops, new Halloween themed Funkos are available to buy this year. There is also a new SODA Dwight figure too!

I originally only saw the SODA figure and was disappointed to see Pumpkin Dwight was a chase variant but to see a general release is fantastic and i'm sure i'll be adding him to my Pop collection soon.

And More!

Elvira, Brightburn, Vincent Price have all been announced for this year, with a brand new Carrie Pop also joining the current Carrie range. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Curse of La Llorona also have two releases each that are a must for horror fans.

This is definitely not all of this years releases, so for more news and updates be sure to check the Funko Twitter and Facebook for other revealed products coming soon!

10 Spooky Things To Still Look Forward To In 2020

5/28/2020

1 Comment

I think we can all agree that so far 2020 hasn't exactly been the best year so far... but that doesn't mean we should just push it under the carpet and wait for 2021 to hurry up and save the day.

Although nothing this year is guaranteed, hopefully the ten things below will be enough to at least give you something to look forward to this year and still bring a little piece of Halloween to your day. Please also do let me know what you're most looking forward to this year too in the comments below!

New Funko Pops
Funko has revealed so many new Funko Pops recently for their Funkoween in May event.

This year will see the introduction of new Zombieland, Corpse Bride, The Craft and Marvel Zombie Pops. In fact there are so many new Horror/Halloween themed Funko Pops being released that I felt it was only necessary they had their own blog post, which you can check out right here.

Personally I am excited for the new Hocus Pocus funko pops (There are more characters than the Sanderson Sisters though Funko!) and also the new Corpse Bride pops too.

Shopping

Although a fairly easy one on the list, it definitely is something to look forward to. I know quite a few of you are worried that ranges might be affected this year due to the closure of so many stores from the Pandemic. At one point I saw rumours that some stores wouldn't be getting any Halloween stuff at all and honestly I could not find any fact behind any of these claims.

Whether you're going into a store or shopping online, there will be many new releases from all kinds of stores this year and it's definitely one thing to look forward to. I can't wait to see what Homesense and TK Maxx release this year as those are my two favourite UK stores and also have the best range of Halloween goodies each year.

American Horror Story

Although production might be a little delayed and also the theme changed due to the time of year being one of the key features of the new season, we will still get another American Horror story!

This years theme has already been teased but still we all have no idea what it is. Ryan Murphy even revealed a new spin off series called American Horror Stories is also in the works. The new show will focus on individual stories per episode instead of one long storyline per season.

Hocus Pocus Board Game

To say I am excited for this one is an understatement. Due for release this summer, Hocus Pocus the board game is being released by Ravensburger. The goal of the game is to defeat the Sanderson Sisters before sunrise, fail and they will live forever. This family friendly game also comes in a book style box and includes spells and quotes from the film. No official release date has been revealed yet but we do know that it's definitely coming this year.

Halloween Kills

The next installment in the Halloween franchise and also new trilogy, Halloween Kills is still due for release this October.

A very short behind the scenes video was revealed by Jamie Lee Curtis last Halloween and it reveals very quick scenes from the upcoming sequel. The story will continue directly where the 2018 release left off and will also continue into the final part of the trilogy Halloween Ends which is due to be released in 2021.

Jason Blum also revealed recently on twitter that the trailer is on the way. Fingers crossed we get a reveal of what's in store very soon.

You can check out the video teaser below.

Halloween Countdown Calendar

Although this does fall under Funko Releases I felt like this needed it's own place on this list as who doesn't love a countdown calendar?

Christmas can move aside as a new Halloween Countdown Calendar is about to hit the shelves and this one includes 13 mini Funko Pop figures from some of your favourite movies. Included in the calendar are Pops from Beetlejuice, The Nun, IT, Friday the 13th and The Shining.

Due for release in August, this will give you plenty of time to grab one in time for the spookiest month of the year.

Bethany Lowe Designs

A new year means so many new Bethany Lowe Designs products! If you're a collector or just love the odd piece, this years range of new arrivals will have something for everyone. I put a list of some of my favourite releases for this year, which you can check out right here.

So we can all look forward to new vintage style creations, brand new Johanna Parker arrivals and more. Speaking of Johanna Parker you can grab so many other treats from Johanna's Partners in Craft collections. A small group of independent artists and stores have worked with Johanna to release unique pieces.

Halloween

This year the spookiest day of the year it's at it's spookiest. Not only does it fall on a Saturday but there will also be a full moon!

What's more is that if you're in the USA the clocks actually go back an hour in the early hours of November 1st (UK is Oct 25th) so for those partying on Halloween night, you'll have an extra hour of spooky fun.
So get planning as whether we're in lockdown or not you will not want to miss out on this Halloween.

New Lego Haunted House

Lego have unveiled a brand new Haunted House set that is actually already available to VIP members but will have a general release on June 1st for everyone else.

The set contains 3231 pieces and includes 8 characters too. Aimed at adults (18+ age on the box) this set will allow you to build a Haunted House ride with actual motorised free fall lift! The motor is sold separately but honestly with how cool this is, you'll need it!

"Welcome to Manor von Barron, a spooky Haunted House theme-park ride packed with chills and thrills for all who dare to enter. Once home to one of the world’s greatest villains who travelled the globe in search of treasures to steal, this Haunted House is a nostalgic throwback to classic LEGO® adventure sets, so be sure to look for rare bricks and ancient artifacts hidden throughout this spooky set!"

The set is priced at £209.99 here in the UK.

The Haunting Of Bly Manor

If you enjoyed The Haunting of Hill House then you should be excited for the second season of the anthology series from Netflix. Bly Manor began production in September 2019 and luckily wrapped in February of this year making all filming (unless reshoots and additional scenes are required) completed. Which also means that it's on track to still be released this year.

The Second season will be based on The Turn of the Screw by Henry James and will include at least four of the original cast members returning as brand new characters. It has already been stated its a new story so there will be no link to the original.

There is no official release date yet but my guess is we'll be seeing it around the spookiest month of the year!

Thanks so much for reading this article! I actually share a whole load of Halloween things on my instagram so if you'd also like to follow my daily (almost) updates then head on over to HERE.

Funkoween Is Here! Halloween-Themed Funko Releases You Need This Year!

5/22/2020

0 Comments

Funko has official made this week (May 18th-22nd) Funkoween and all week they have been revealing Halloween-themed Pops that will be hitting stores this year.

From The Nightmare Before Christmas all the way to brand new Countdown Calendars there really is something for everyone and this week's releases have been so great to see each day.

I've put together a list of some of my favourite reveals for you to check out below. Now excuse me while I figure out how badly my bank account is going to be hit...

The Nightmare Before Christmas

Extending the already huge range of The Nightmare Before Christmas Pop figures comes even more releases. This time you'll be able to get your hands on another new Sandy Claws Pop, Sally, Oogie, Jack and even a new release of the highly sought-after Mayor. The original Mayor Pop which was part of the very first release of NBC pop figures can now fetch you up to £200 on Ebay.

Along with these releases you can also get your hands on a new Oogie Boogie keychain, 10 inch Jack and also new Dorbz!

Marvel Zombies

One release I really didn't see coming is the release of a whole range of Marvel Zombies. The new zombie pops will be available as standard pop figures (with additional variants) as well as new Mystery Mini pops and Keychains!

All you need to do now is decide which ones you will be getting, if not all of them of course. As a side note how cool would a Marvel Heroes Zombie film be?

Disney Halloween Mickey and Minnie

How cute are these Minnie and Mickey Halloween Pops? Personally I have never been a huge fan of Mickey and Minnie as they're just not my thing but these I actually really love. The contrast of colours used really gives them a classic/vintage style look. I would by lying if I said I wasn't tempted to purchase these for myself this year.

Corpse Bride

Making their Pop debut these Corpse Bride pops are another surprise release for this year. Emily and Victor will be available (along with scraps who comes with Victor) and hopefully will pave the way for even more releases from this wonderful film in the future.

Hocus Pocus Flying Sanderson Sisters

For the third year in a row Funko are releasing more new Hocus Pocus Pops. As a huge fan of this film I am excited to add these to my collection. Funko have already released 7 other Sanderson Sister pops the first being the standard Sanderson Sisters with their brooms, the second release saw them posing (Mary with her cheese balls is still my favourite of them all) and the Movie Moment set which featured all three sisters around a cauldron.

This year we will once again see the Sanderson Sisters return but this time they're flying. As much as I do love these pops, I am slightly disappointed by the lack of other characters that Funko are still yet to release (or even consider). It would be great to see Dani, Max, Billy, even the Mom dressed as Madonna would be amazing. Come on Funko get releasing more from this classic!

Halloween Minions!

The Minions are now getting a Halloween makeover too with a brand new set of Halloween Pops. Available in five different designs, you'll be able to add these to the already growing collection of Minion pops.

The Craft

If you're a fan of The Craft then you will love these. All four of the main characters from the 1996 film are now available for the first time ever as Funko Pops and they really do look great. It's nice to see this film getting more merchandise released for it as it really is such a great film. A remake to this film is apparently also in the works although I personally do not think it needs it. The original has aged well and is a cult classic.

Killer Klowns From Outer Space

What's creepier than a film about killer clowns? How about Killer Klown Pops... Another Funko Pop Debut, these Killer Klown Pops will be released in three different designs and are sure to be a huge hit amongst fans of this horror franchise.

Zombieland

When I first saw they had revealed Zombieland Funko Pops this week I honestly thought these had already been released, so it was a nice surprise to find they're a new release. All but Little Rock are available from the Zombieland range which I honestly don't see the logic behind releasing all but one of the main characters but then giving Bill Murray two Pops? I can only assume more Pops are on the way in the future which will include the much needed Little Rock to complete this already awesome collection.

Child's Play 2 Chucky

A new addition to the Child Play range of Pop figures is the new 10 inch Chucky Funko Pop. Chucky is carrying a bloody knife and it's also the first 10 inch Pop to be released in the already growing range.

Edward Scissorhands

Edward Scissorhands has already had the Pop treatment in the past but now the range is about to get even bigger with not one but five new Edward Pops and for the first time ever a new Kim Pop. I actually think Edward looks slightly better than the original release and it's also great to see him recreating a few other scenes from the film. It's nice that they have released Kim along with the new collection too. Now let's get Peg a release and please Funko release Joyce with her Ambrosia Salad.

Beetlejuice

The ghost with the most has already been given the Pop treatment (along with Lydia) but for the first time we're being treat to Adam and Barbara in their full creepy transformation look and the look so, so good! I cannot wait to grab these two once they're available later this year.

Universal Monsters

Another extension to an already released franchise are these two new additions to the Universal Studios Monsters series. A new glow in the dark Frankensteins Monster and invisible man will be released later this year. Can you imagine if the invisible man release was just an empty box?

Halloween Countdown Calendar

The final release on this list is this new countdown Calendar. Designed to countdown the days to Halloween, this calendar includes 13 mini Funko Pops from some of the most popular film franchises around. Annabelle, IT, Little Shop of Horrors, The Shining, The Nun, Beetlejuice, The Exorcist, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th and The Lost boys are all included in this release which actually makes up a total of ten confirmed Pops. Does this mean there are three more film Pops to be revealed or will this 13 figure set include 3 Pops from the same films?

This is an awesome release from Funko and I really hope they release these every year with new Pops each time. A 31 day calendar would also be awesome too. My only criticism to this calendar is that I wish the countdown started at 13 and then went down to 1 for Halloween but other than that it's perfect!

Thanks so much for reading this article! I actually share a whole load of Halloween things on my instagram so if you'd also like to follow my daily (almost) updates then head on over to HERE.
