Funko Announces “Disney Treasures” Subscription Service to Focus Entirely on Disney Collectibles
EVERETT, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Funko, one of the leading creators and innovators of licensed pop
culture products, announced the newest licensed subscription box joining
their subscription service offerings – Disney Treasures. The officially
licensed Disney Treasures subscription box is the latest box among
Funko’s additional subscription offerings from Marvel, Star Wars and DC
Comics, and will focus on delivering exclusive Disney Collectibles
directly to collectors every other month.
The first Disney Treasures box theme is “Pirates Cove,” a pirate-themed
box now available at www.DisneyTreasures.Funko.com.
The Pirates Cove box will include exclusive pirate-themed collectibles
from Disney movies and Disney Parks such as a Smee Pop! Vinyl from the
original Peter Pan animated Disney film and a “Wicked Wench”
Captain with Pirate Ship Dorbz Ride from the Pirates of the Caribbean
Disney ride.
“We believe this is the most unique subscription box available today,”
said Funko CEO, Brian Mariotti. “We’re tremendously excited about the
inclusion of collectibles from Disney Parks. That includes characters
and vehicles from any ride in Disneyland or Disneyworld, and many of the
characters in those rides that were never sold outside the parks can now
reside in the Disney Treasures box from Funko.”
The Disney Treasures subscription program is offered on a bimonthly
subscription model delivering six full boxes per year. A full year
commitment (six boxes) is priced at $24.00 USD per box, a half year
commitment (three boxes) is $25.00 USD per box and a monthly “pay as you
go” option is $26.00 USD per box. Each box delivers exclusive Disney
collectibles that can only be acquired through the Disney Treasures
program especially curated for Disney fans by Funko.
Funko also revealed a new “founders program” as part of the Disney
Treasures box. With the purchase of a full year’s subscription, starting
with the Pirates Cove box, members will automatically be enrolled in the
“Pioneer” program. The Pioneer program includes an exclusive Disney pin
with the first box as well as an exclusive anniversary gift at the
completion of the year. Pioneer members will also receive a digital
founder’s badge that will appear in their account profile and other
exclusive offers from the Disney Treasures website.
