One show, two great collectibles under one roof! On May 4, 2019, the Northeast PEZ Convention is opening up the show to Funko collectible dealers for the first time ever. This show is being held at the Sheraton Stamford Hotel on 700 East Main Street in Stamford, Connecticut.
Funko products are one of the hottest collectibles in the world right now. With tons of pop culture icons becoming POP! figures they appeal to a wide variety of fans. Funko recently teamed up with PEZ Candy Inc. to release POP! and PEZ collectible candy dispensers.
After serving as a fun meeting spot for PEZ collectors for 20 years, the Northeast PEZ Convention is merging the two pop icon manufacturers with PEZ+FunkoFest. This family-friendly event has something for everyone. Kids can browse through an assortment of superhero dispensers, princesses, emojis, and those connected to popular animated movies and TV shows. Meanwhile parents and grandparents can enjoy seeing colorful characters like Bozo, Mary Poppins, Popeye, and the Flintstones from their childhood.
Ahead of the show, the Northeast PEZ Convention will also be offering two rare items in this year’s NEPEZCON Charity Auction. The first item crossing the auction block is a preproduction sample of the Funko POP! and PEZ PEZ Boy, while the subsequent offering is the normal, limited release of the same dispenser. All money raised will go to the American Cancer Society. Bidding on these items will end around 7:30 PM on Friday, May 3 as a live auction.
The PEZ+Funko Fest Collectors Show is running Saturday 9 AM to 2 PM. General admission is $5. For further details and directions to the show, visit PezFunkoFest.com.
