Wild title, I know. But did you know that the only Funko Pop from Beast Wars so far was Cheetor and that the only way to get him was by redeeming a token that could only be purchased with crypto currency? This is not a joke, Cheetor was part of Funko's NFT release where buying Funko NFTs would give you a chance to get a token that could be redeemed for a physical item. And these tokens could be purchased (and sold) through the droppp.io marketplace where it could only be purchased with crypto currency. And some hardcore fans did all that.

But you (probably) won't need to since the Funko line is now expanding to Beast Wars in 2025. The news comes from Skittlerampage who pulled from various Twitter account. The rumours are that next year we will get BW Megatron, Optimus Primal, Rhinox and Blackarachnia. That does mean that Cheetor remains a crypto exclusive for now.

In other funko Transformers news, we did get an image of an upcoming Soundwave Funko Pop which has a helmet which you can open up to reveal one of his cassette bots controlling him, men in black style.

The Soundwave figure would have been so much better if Rumble was in his chest like the Ironman figure from the same line. That's where he lives!

And a scam right up there with "buy your own star and have this certificate" from the 1990s.

I'd say that was less of a scam than NFTs. Sure you shared the star with hundreds if not thousands of other people, but at least stars are real.

Thanks to Dis Collectables, we have a look at the upcoming Beast Wars Funko Pops. They include Optimus Primal, Megatron, Blackarachnia and Rhinox. These should be available soon with some even reporting as early as June 25th. Sadly, for now, it seems Cheetor is still exclusive to their NFT program, meaning he is very limited and is only available on the secondary market.

Let us know what you think of these!

I still don't get the appeal of these things.

Rhinox doesn't seem too affected by the stylization! The details of his face look pretty much like his show model (if a little squished). The others are suitably Funko-Popish, though. Maybe it's the way they accurately translated his long mouth?
