If you’re into pop culture collectibles, then heads up! Thrilljoy, a dynamic force in the world of high-end collectibles, just unleashed its new lines called Pix! and Pixl at WonderCon. What's the buzz? Let me tell you, it's all about captivating fans of iconic franchises like Lord of the Rings, Invader Zim, and much more.
The Pix! series is like grabbing a ticket to collectible paradise. It kicks off with 5-inch vinyl figures, packed neatly in premium packaging that screams luxury. Think matte windowed boxes with sculpted wax seals and tearable cover slips. For hardcore Lord of the Rings enthusiasts, Frodo Baggins stars in three eye-catching variants: a standard release, two chase versions wielding the mythical One Ring, and an ultra-rare one-of-one clear variant that, guess what, includes a surprise trip as a prize!
And then there's the adorable Bloo the Yeti, Thrilljoy's mascot, stealing the show with four exclusive figures. Among these, a WonderCon-exclusive gold one-of-one chase could just snag you a $10,000 prize—talk about rare collectible magic!
Hang tight, because Thrilljoy also introduced the Pixl series, which debuts with a trip down memory lane featuring Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It's like your childhood memories packed into stackable 2.5-inch figures. Think Michelangelo, Leonardo, Bebop, Rocksteady, Casey Jones, and the villainous Shredder packed in stealthy mystery boxes.
Are you tempted yet? These packs offer a 1-in-300 shot at snagging gold chase pieces, which you can swap for a mega-sized 12-inch Mega Pix! Standing out with these collectibles isn’t just about rarity; it’s about connecting with communities of fans in a truly interactive way.
Behind this innovative venture is Brian Mariotti, former CEO of Funko. The pop culture aficionado has a clear vision for Thrilljoy—creating engaging, limited-edition collectibles that offer more than just a decorative piece for the shelf. They're about engaging the community, and let’s face it, who doesn't want a piece of that pie?
For those heading to WonderCon, Thrilljoy will set up a pop-up shop at the Anaheim Sheraton, from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m., offering sneak peeks and early access to these lines. And if that’s not enticing enough, there’s even a collectors' happy hour from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Chat, collect, and make memories with fellow hobbyists. These phenomenal lines get their official online debut in May, so gear up for a collectible frenzy.
