Hacked By Ahmed 01 Nerd News & Needs
Last year, we were lucky enough to attend our very first Emerald City Comicon (ECCC) in Seattle. We had an absolute blast in the city, at the convention and we even got to visit Funko headquarters, which was just an Uber ride away in Everett. The year has absolutely flown by and we’re about to head back to the Emerald City for our second ECCC.
We’ll be covering the event, and our shenanigans, all week/weekend long and sharing live to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and right here on the blog. Follow along with us starting Wednesday, April 6th (details & links below).

So jealous of your Funko HQ tour. Have fun and get your nerd on at ECCC. I hope you get to see Jon Bernthal and ask him if he thinks if Shane could take on Negan. (If Shane was still alive at this points, *spoilers*)
ECCC is on the bucket list! Enjoy nerds, can’t wait to read all the awesome posts y’all will be posting and all the pics!

I’d love to go to ECCC someday!
Cool. Have fun at ECCC.
Wish I was going to ECCC, let us know all the best of the ECCC!

I wish I lived on the West Coast so I could go to this! This looks amazing and so much fun. I’d love to just meet everybody (especially Norman lol).
I don’t do collectibles and I’ve never been into comics, but I listen to your show every week and actually get excited to hear about those things I don’t really care about! lol Keep up the good work guys.
Det tycker jag att du gör helt rätt i! Det är med öppna planlösningar har verkligen gått överstyr. Upp med den bara!
Essays like this are so important to broadening people’s horizons.
Man I’d love to make it up to this one day. The same group also hosts Rose City Comic Con in Portland in September, I’m thinking about heading to that one!
Looking at this line up, I’d have to say I’d most like to meet Danielle Panabaker because I think she’s HOTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
Have a great time at ECCC!
One of these days I would love to meet Nathan Fillion, just because he is an all around great person. I loved him on Firefly and enjoy him on Castle.
I’m here to meet Nathan Fillion, Norman Reedus, and Rose McIver mainly, since the Supergirl duo had to cancel.
Hope you’re all having a blast!
I would love to meet Sasha Roiz.
Looks awesome, wish I could attend.
There’s a lot there that’s awesome, but I would love to go to the panel with James and Oliver Phelps.
Punisher is who I’d like to meet.
Wish I could go! I’d love to meet Nathan Fillion!
would be cool to hang with Nathan and Norman \m/
Would loooove to meet Nathan Fillion!!! <3
Wish I could be there with you guys!
I’m so jealous. I would have LOVED to meet Jon Bernthal. Y’all better give him praise for his Punisher interpretation.
I would love to meet Norman reedus and sean astin, they both have made up the pop culture of me growing up and hav been great stories for me to keep watching on tv over and over again.
First, Norman Reedus to know who died in The Walking Dead. It could be Glenn, but I feeling that they are going to switch it up. Second, Robbie Amell to congratulate him on getting the funding of the Code8 movie. It looks like it is going to a pretty good film.
Nathan fillian, cause I live and breathe firefly.
Have fun
I can already tell that’s gonna be super hefplul.
disse:I in truth welcome this post. I have been looking all over representing this! Thank goodness I bring into being it by Bing. You have made my day! Thanks again!
in prima serata faremo stencil su tessuto con colori serigrafici. ricordatevi quindi il mantra: porta le tue magliette/indumenti da casa. a tutto il resto – stencil, colori serigrafici, rulli – ci pensiamo noi. cosa vuoi dippiù 🙂
Have fun
I’d love to meet Jon Bernthal and Elden Henson. I love Daredevil and The Mighty Ducks haha
Got my three day pass but couldn’t go. No way to get there from Tacoma… UGH! If I could have gone I would have loved to see Norman Reedus again. Got to meet him a few years ago during ECCC and ZombieCon. Got to know him and Sean Patrick Flannery. Two of the nicest and most fun guys ever!
Hands down Norman Reedus!!!
Looks great too bad I couldn’t be there. Tons of markets and people, would of been fun.
I would love to meet Nathan Fillion!
Nathan Fillion, The Flash and iZombie casts would be my top choices, as well as the Daredevil cast.
Nathan Fillion would be cool and anyone from Izombie.
Looks awesome! Wish I could’ve gone 🙂
Super jelly you guys are at ECCC!!! Hope you guys are having a blast!! Soooo to the burning question, I would love to see and meet Lana Parrilla & Sean Maguire. Who doesn’t love Once Upon a Time’s best love story couple better know as Regina and Robin Hood!! Keep the pictures flowing so we can nerd out vicariously through you guys!!
I’d love to meet Chyler Leigh, the fun folks at Nerd Fu and the wonderful people at Funko, if I were to attend.
It’d be great to meet Sean Astin.
I would love to see Norman and Nathan. Love TWD and Firefly!
My son and daughter saved for over a year to go to see ComicCon to get the exclusives for my sons collection and it was a crazy mess at the funko booth so far both days have been terrible!! they invested in the the early entry and all the things to be sure they could get what they collect….day 2 and still nothing
very dissapointed and seems to have given up on funko for keeping their word and making sure that all the people can get the things they went for….it was a big joke
So sorry to hear that the Funko booth was a sore spot in your ECCC weekend.
In all fairness, we work closely with Funko and know that they are trying their very best to make the true Funko Fans happy. There are a few things out of their control, but the main reason the lines are so bad is the vendors. Funko has told vendors that they are not supposed to go line up and purchase things, but the vendors borrow regular badges and go over there before the doors open. So long as these people break the rules, there is little that Funko can do to stop them, for now. Funko is actively looking into ways to prevent vendors from ruining it for everyone else.
We really hope that you found the time to enjoy the rest of the con – there were so many great panels and other awesome vendors and artists in attendance.
Really hoping to win this giveaway. Kind of sad how I worked my butt off for the superman vs batman one and didn’t win..
Sorry that the BvS giveaway didn’t go your way, but rest assured that we have many, many more giveaways coming. We have a lot of entries for every giveaway and your odds vary for each one, but if you keep trying in all of our giveaways, who knows… maybe your number will come up one day. We’ve chosen over 50 winners to date and will continue to do so as long as we can. In the mean time, we hope that you will take the time to check out our content and interact with us on Facebook, Twitter, etc. Our main goal at Nerd Fu is to share cool stuff with you, but that isn’t always in the form of prizes.
I would have love to have gone to ECCC. It would have been awesome to meet Norman Reedus. My friend is going so fingers crossed that she takes a lot of pictures and maybe grabs a few goodies for me 🙂

Such an awesome line up of guests! I’m a Funko Pop collector as well as a regular nerd and the Exclusives at ECCC this year are incredibly Limited. Anyone lucky enough to get a few green Pops will have some pricey items in their collection. I work on the Pop Price Guide and we have seen some insane preorder sales in the past week or so. We do not collect pre sale data but it’s obvious the exclusivity of these Pops has led to people asking for over 10 times the $15 price tag for each one. Good Luck getting some goodies & have a blast!!
Richard Sherman would be cool to meet
I would love to meet Lana Parrilla <3 she's one of my fav from OUAT.
I would love to see Jon Bernthal, I loved him as the Punisher
Kind of envious of all you get to meet and see and do working for FU, having your dream job rules. And having ECCC and other cons as part of your job OMG. Can’t really pick just one I’d love to meet, but #1 very top of my list would be Stan Lee!
I didn’t even have to read the entire list of celebrities when I saw Norman Reedus picture. I LOVE him and would love to meet him. I can’t even say how many times I’ve watched Boondock Saints just because he is in it. I of course love him in TWD too. Yes…that is who I would want to meet.
wish i could go, but of course i don’t live anywhere near that comicon
I would be most excited to meet Norman Reedus.
You all have a blast for me since I can’t be there! Totally jealous you got to Uber to Funko!

He may be new on the scene, but Elden Henson seems like a cool guy to ask a few questions about his time on Daredevil. Have to praise his performance for embodying the Punisher.
