UPDATE [Nov. 8, 2017]: A new photo that shows off the Final Form Sora Funko Pop! Vinyl has been released by Instagram user, @var1ant.sg. Take a look at it below:
UPDATE [Nov. 11, 2017]: Several more images of the Shadow Heartless Funko Pop! Vinyl and the limited edition glow chase Shadow Heartless Funko Pop! Vinyl have been shown off by @sw_up_wr20 on Instagram. You can view them in the gallery with the other Shadow Heartless Funko Pop! Vinyl images above.
UPDATE [Nov. 15, 2017]: More photos of the Final Form Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Shadow Heartless Funko Pop! Vinyls have been released by @spoiled.zen on Instagram. Also, a single photo of the Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Shadow Heartless Funko Pop! Vinyls was released by the official Funko Twitter account. You can check out these photos in the gallery with the other photos above.
UPDATE [Nov. 17, 2017]: Twitter user @SFENGaming contacted GameStop, and they stated that they have changed their release dates for the Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Shadow Heartless Funko Pop! Vinyls. The updated date is now apparently set for January 1st, 2018. Amazon has the figures listed for release on December 15th, 2017.
We have contacted GameStop about the change in date and they have confirmed once again that the Vinyls are coming on January 1st. We have also reached out to Funko about this and they declined to comment.
However, several Twitter and Facebook users have reported information that they received that conflicts with these statements. Twitter users @darksoulsdylan, @lunastarmochi, and Facebook user Matthew Jamar claim to have contacted GameStop, who apparently stated that the Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Shadow Heartless Funko Pop! Vinyls are coming out on November 23rd, 2017. Facebook user Caity Dornan stated that November 23rd is the pre-order date she got from MyGeekBox as well. Twitter user @geek1928 says that his Vinyls are coming from a place other than GameStop on Monday (November 20th, 2017), while Facebook user Marcus McKiddy was apparently told by his local GameStop that the pre-orders for the Vinyls will be arriving next Wednesday (November 22nd, 2017), and Facebook user Ian Juntunen replied and stated he was told that they will be arriving on Thanksgiving, which is November 23rd. On November 15th, Ian Juntunen said that he was told that they were going to be released "tomorrow" (November 16th), which has since passed. Rose Strife on Facebook expressed that she was told they were releasing at GameStop in December.
It's unknown which of these statements are true, which of these dates are just placeholder dates, and which one is real. It might be different for each location and each store or online store. Stay tuned to this space for further updates.
