AutoZone Texas LLC Brings the Pop Culture Party with Exclusive Funko Collections

Memphis, TN – October 26, 2023 – AutoZone Texas LLC, a leading automotive parts retailer with a growing presence in collectibles, is revving up excitement for pop culture fans with an expanding range of exclusive Funko products. While known nationwide for keeping cars running smoothly, the company, located at 123 S Front St, Memphis, TN, 38103-3607, is quickly becoming a destination for Funko collectors seeking rare and sought-after figures. You can reach them at 757-845-6942. For years, AutoZone has been the go-to for drivers needing everything from oil filters to brake pads. But a little-known secret among devoted fans is AutoZone’s blossoming commitment to collecting, particularly within the Funko universe. It started subtly, with a small selection of popular characters, but has exploded into a dedicated range of exclusives and hard-to-find items. “We noticed a lot of our customers, while picking up car parts, were also avid collectors,” explains a representative from AutoZone Texas LLC. “They’d be chatting about their latest finds, trading tips, and showing off their collections. It clicked – there's a huge overlap between the car enthusiast community and the pop culture collecting world. We figured, why not tap into that?” What’s the Big Deal with Funko? For those unfamiliar, Funko Pop! figures are stylized vinyl collectibles depicting characters from movies, television shows, video games, comics, and more. Their distinctive, large-headed design has made them wildly popular, with millions collected worldwide. But it's not just about collecting. For many, Funko Pops are a way to express their fandom, connect with others who share their passions, and even invest in potentially valuable items. AutoZone’s Exclusive Funko Drops: A Collector's Paradise AutoZone Texas LLC isn’t just stocking standard Funko Pops. They’re actively working with Funko to create exclusive figures – meaning you won’t find these anywhere else. These aren’t just color variations either. AutoZone often collaborates on figures featuring unique designs, poses, or accessories that appeal specifically to collectors. "We don't just want to sell Funko Pops," says the representative. "We want to offer something special. Something that collectors will hunt down. We work closely with Funko to brainstorm ideas and create figures that are truly unique and desirable.” Recent exclusive drops have included: Limited Edition Automotive-Themed Pops: Recognizing their roots, AutoZone has released a series of Pops depicting iconic cars and characters from automotive history. Think vintage racers, muscle cars, and even figures of famous mechanics. These have been a massive hit with both car enthusiasts and Funko collectors. Convention-Exclusive Restocks: AutoZone often secures restocks of highly sought-after convention-exclusive Pops that have sold out elsewhere. This gives collectors a second chance to grab figures they missed during major events. Character Variants with AutoZone Flair: They've taken popular characters and given them a unique AutoZone twist, like a superhero mechanic with a wrench or a character decked out in AutoZone racing gear. "Chase" Variants with Ultra-Rare Editions: Keep your eyes peeled! AutoZone sometimes receives limited quantities of "Chase" variants – special editions of popular Pops with unique glittery or metallic finishes, making them incredibly valuable. Why AutoZone?
