June 13, 2014: Announcing Munchkin Toys From Funko

Our indefatigable COO, Phil Reed, loves toys. They're like an addiction to him. So it should come as no surprise that, when the opportunity arrived to create Munchkin toys with Funko, he jumped at the chance! Funko will be producing a whole line of toys, each with a bonus Munchkin card, and first up is a toy of Spyke, our Munchkin mascot!

Note from Phil: For anyone who follows my outside hobby at battlegrip.com, it should come as no surprise that when Funko contacted us to talk about Munchkin toys I couldn't say "YES!" fast enough. Funko makes a remarkable number of incredible toys, from their adorable Pop! Vinyl series to the retro-style ReAction line, and the opportunity to work with the Funko team on the creation of Munchkin toys is an experience I'll treasure forever. I cannot thank Steve, Andrew, and the entire SJ Games staff enough for encouraging and supporting this project, and I am sure that Munchkin fans everywhere will want Spyke, Flower, and even monsters once the toys complete production and start reaching stores.
