Sometime this year, Funko, known for its Funko Pop! line of vinyl figures representing many popular movies and TV shows, will be releasing Pat Sajak and Vanna White figures. Although not shown in this source, other sources show than an Alex Trebek one will tentatively be released on April 30, so the Pat and Vanna oneswill hopefully accompany it. Vanna will receive two versions, one of which will be considered rarer than the other (that's what the "CHASE" means).

What?! Get outta here! You serious?! Who keeps reading my mind?!
Recently, I had been wanting a Sonic PEZ Dispenser. Funko made it happen and I bought two of those. I was showing them to some people over at one of my local GameStops (who sells every Pop! PEZ Dispenser with the exception of Sonic) recently, and I was telling them, "What if Funko made POP! Figures of Pat and Vanna?" I knew there was a small possibility of that happening (I mean, anything's possible, right?), but I doubted they would. Now I'm looking forward to sharing this news with these people over at these GameStops. Just when I thought it wasn't going to happen, and now I'm going to pre-order two of each! :lol:
[finally calms down] But really? This is going to happen? Nice! I'm looking forward to seeing these! Even so, wouldn't it be nice if they made a Pop! Figure of the Puzzle Board and Wheel and the Wheel spins? I wouldn't be surprised if they went that far, at least not at this point.

I hope the puzzleboard's eyes are O's and its mouth is a U. The Wheel would have its face on the green wheelcore.

I saw some pictures over at Instagram. According to these photos, the Alex figure should be out in April while Pat and Vanna should be out in May. I don't know if that also goes for the CHASE versions.

They're now available. Good luck finding them, especially the Vanna Chase.
I checked two GameStops today. One didn't have any Pats or Vannas, the other had a single regular Vanna in stock which I bought. Still need Pat and the Vanna Chase.

Ended up ordering the Pat, Vanna (hopefully chase) and Trebek figurines off of Amazon on Wednesday. The Pat and Vanna ones weren't available yet, but I did happen to get the Trebek Chase figurine. Now I just wait for the Pat and Vanna ones.

Guys, I'm sorry for bumping this back up a bit. Believe me, I really wanted to show this to you guys sooner, but I also wanted to show you my autographed photos from 2007, which was when I became an Eagle Scout. I knew the photos were kept in a safe place, but I just didn't know exactly where they were until a few hours ago. http://instagr.am/p/ByrXh3nHcIN |
