This year's Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo will feature an all-new airline themed Funko interactive experience and, of course, some exclusive merch
Popverse's top stories of the day

- Watch: Artist's Alley Asks: Superman or Fantastic Four? Gene Ha, Cully Hamner, Jarrett Melendez, Rachael Stott, Soo Lee, and Tim Seeley weigh in on their cinematic preference

Fasten your seatbelts and prepare for landing - Funko Airlines is heading to C2E2.
One of the most venerated vendors across the country, Funko is famous for their highly-stylized convention booths. Just last year, their Blockbuster-themed SDCC entry and Heavy Metal Halloween exhibit at NYCC were some of the most sought-after experiences at their respective conventions. And if the company can stick the landing (pun intended), this year's Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo will be no exception.
What are the Funko exclusives for C2E2 2024?
Posted to their official blog on February 23, the announcement for the flight-themed Funko Airlines booth came with the promise of "exciting exclusive collectibles," giveaways, "in-flight" entertainment and, interestingly, some company. It seems Booth #100, which Funko is calling its base of operations, will also play host to pop brands Mondo and Loungefly.
On April 2, Funko took to social media to unveil their C2E2 exclusives, which we've listed (along with how they can be obtained) below. Check out this list, then scroll down to the gallery to get a look at what are sure to be some of the most wanted collectibles at the convention.

What is a reservation, and why do I need it?
The Funko booths and merchandise therein are in high demand, so in order to keep the lines moving and the booth from overcrowding, Funko requires reservations to their booth.
But don't worry! You don't need frequent flier miles to visit Funko Airlines - fans had the ability snag a reservation just by visiting C2E2's Funko and Mondo reservation page. As you might've guessed, a pass for the event is required to make a reservation - purchase a C2E2 ticket here.
When were Funko reservations for C2E2 2024 launched?
Reservations for Funko Airlines opened April 4, 2024 at 12PM CT. A link to the reservation was sent to the email you provided for your C2E2 tickets. But don't think that's a guarantee of admittance - reservations will be awarded first come, first serve. Like any in-demand flight, only the quickest of jetsetters snag tickets.
