Funko Pop Preview Prom at Ultimate Comics Cary
2024-05-31 19:30 - 22:30 | Ultimate Comics Cary, 218 Nottingham Drive, Cary, NC, 27511, United States
Head to Ultimate Comics Cary Friday May 31st at 7:30 PM for the Funko Pop Preview PROM!

We’ll be debuting a never before seen collection of rare Funko pops for purchase- vaulted pops, convention exclusives, chases, and more!

We asked how we could get any bigger than our last Funko Pop Preview Parties and the only answer we could come up with was this. We’re renting out the 5,000 sq ft spot next to Ultimate Comics Cary and using both stores for the event! That means more room for Pops and room for the real Prom we will be throwing.

What’s that mean? Music featuring cheesy 80’s slow dance songs! Punch! Freddy Funko Prom Photo Ops! And so much more! Show up in your best prom formal wear and get a free Funko POP! And you’ll be entered to win Pop Prom King or Pop Prom Queen and win a MEGA PRIZE!
