NYCC 2021: The Star Wars Loungefly and Funko exclusives are absolutely amazing
By Mia Johnson
New York Comic Con is right around the corner. The convention will be taking place from Oct. 7-10. And with that means new exclusives coming for Star Wars, and you’ll want to act quickly since the convention is just a day away.
Loungefly, specifically, really went all out with their con exclusives. And in this release, there are four new mini-backpack designs coming, as well as an additional wallet that goes with one of the bags. There’s also one new Funko Pop! to look forward to.
First up is probably the coolest design, which is the Star Wars Darth Maul Mini Backpack. This backpack can be found on Loungefly.com as well as popsnsoncollectibles.com. On Oct. 7, the bag will be available on Loungefly beginning at 9 a.m. PT. And it will be available on Pops N Son on Oct. 8 beginning at 6 a.m. PT.

Next up, we have this cool Kylo Ren Mini Backpack, which even features the Knights of Ren at the top of the bag. Not only that, but it also glows in the dark! This one, too, will be available on Loungefly on Oct. 7 at 9 a.m. PT. Then on Oct. 8, it will become available on FYE at 6 a.m. PT.

The third bag features a beautiful design based on The Mandalorian episode titled “The Jedi.” This is the backpack and wallet duo mentioned earlier. The design on the backpack features Ahsoka Tano holding little Grogu. And the design on the wallet is similar, with Ahsoka and the Child affectionately touching foreheads. These two will be exclusive to Loungefly only, and they will both become available at 9 a.m. PT on Oct. 7.
And, the last Loungefly exclusive is quite fun — it actually features a moving part with Grogu in his cradle. This one will become available on Oct. 7 at 9 a.m. PT with the other bags. And on Oct. 8 at 6 a.m. PT, it will become available on Hot Topic.
On the Funko Pop! front, there is an exclusive figure that also comes from The Mandalorian. This Boba Fett Pop! features the armorless bounty hunter in his robe and wielding his staff. And for those who want to add it to their collection, it should be available on the Funko website, presumably around the same time the Loungefly bags go on sale. Additionally, the Pop! should go live on Walmart the next day, Oct. 8.
