At last weekend's Toy Fair industry convention in New York, several of Funko's upcoming TOMORROWLAND products were revealed:

ReAction FIGURES
Joining the NYCC exclusive Young Frank limited edition is a full line of vintage-styled ReAction Figures:



Much has been made of the "reveal" of the character Dave Clark, whose figure features no film still on its card. "Dave Clark" is the name given to Nix's robot goons. His face is "caved in" when a fight breaks out after attempting to gain access to Frank's booby-trapped house. An excerpt from this action sequence was shown at Tomorrowland's NYCC panel last October. 

The bigger reveal, for us, from these product shots? Casey's steampunk raygun! Could this be Amelia Earhart's Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Gun, as described in the prequel novel BEFORE TOMORROWLAND?


POP VINYLS
TOMORROWLAND characters Frank Walker, Young Frank with Jetpack, and David Nix are getting the incredibly popular POP VINYL treatment from Funko:
PINS
Funko will be producing several replicas of the iconic TOMORROWLAND pins:



The left pin (orange "T" on blue) is the one given to Young Frank by Athena at the 1964 New York World's Fair, which unlocks a secret room beneath the "It's a Small World" attraction and transports him to Tomorrowland. Read our summary of this scene shown at Destination D.

These pins were later removed from display at the Funko Toy Fair booth, indicating either that they were not yet meant to be seen, or they have been denied licensor approval.

All of Funko's TOMORROWLAND products are set to be released in April. You can expect our video reviews soon thereafter!
