It’s almost that time again! The deadline to sign up for Funko’s Smuggler’s Bounty Star Wars subscription box is THIS SUNDAY, MAY 15TH! In the immortal words of Randy Lo Gudice, “don’t be a Jabroni”… sign up for Smuggler’s Bounty!
The theme for this month’s box is Bounty Hunters and the box will feature two Pop! collectibles!
I’m gonna go ahead and say that my prediction is dead on (but not disintegrated). Also, for those spoiler-inclined, there has been an image out there that seems to further validate my guess. Of course there is no confirmation as to its authenticity, and I’m not going to link or post it here, but it’s out there.
Assuming a dynamic pose Boba Fett Pop! is one of the collectibles, which character will the second Pop! be?
While several fans have expressed hope that the second character might be a Prequel Trilogy or The Clone Wars character, I just don’t think that will be the case. I genuinely hope I’m wrong, but the hints seem to imply another ESB bounty hunter. I think it’s safe to assume It’s not Zuckuss or 4-LOM. Neither of those characters are very well-known and frankly wouldn’t be all that exciting for collectors (sorry Zuckuss & 4-LOM fans… both of you).
So that leaves IG-88 or Dengar (who was also conspicuously absent from the image tweeted above). Dengar had some nice appearances in The Clone Wars (voiced by…nevermind) and thus might have more broad appeal. However, my guess is that it will be… IG-88.
Droids are always popular, Funko does droids particularly well, and IG-88 just looks more interesting compared to the guy with a towel over his head (Sorry, Dengar Dan).
Who do you want in the Smuggler’s Bounty box? Tweet me your predictions at @CPThrio and don’t forget to sign up for Smuggler’s Bounty by Sunday night!
