It was a sad day knowing the next piece of the massively growing Marvel Cinematic Universe Black Widow was delayed. was obviously for good reason but now the wait continues until November comes around. There are a couple of collectibles from the upcoming film already on the market with Marvel Legends and Funko Pops. We have already reviewed most of the Black Widow Funko Pops that have been released like the recent Walmart Exclusive figures here. You can even find the new character Red Guardian a couple of the Black Widow and Taskmaster costumes here. Recently, Funko has taken it to the next level though as they have released a short animated film featuring some of their Funko Pop vinyl figures. With stars like the upcoming Taskmaster, Black Widow, and the newest character Yelena Belova going into an epic chase scene. This isn't the first time we have seen Funko animation but it is nice to see these Pop vinyl come to life. You can view all the action with a quick battle between the hero and villain below:

You can still find and collect your own Black Widow Funko Pops as they are available now and located here. Don't forget to check out our recent Amazon Exclusive Marvel Collector Corp unboxing too as is the next box is dedicated to this assassin. That's right, the box will contain a whole box of upcoming Black Widow Funko goodies from a shirt to an exclusive Pop or two. These boxes are always a great surprise for fans and they usually sell out so act fast before it's too late. Being a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Funko really hits all the marks with bringing the films right off the screen and onto your shelves with the Funko Pop line.

It looks like Epic Games has reached that point of self-quarantine where they're digging into their closet full of old Fortnite toys. Over the past couple of years, as the game has dominated the battle royale marketplace, they've done a lot of promotions with different companies., Once those promos are done, they toss the awesome toys they made into the vault and for the vast majority of them, we never see these awesome items again. One of the most popular items in the mix was for Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker, as you could turn your pickaxe in the game into a lightsaber, complete with all the sounds and effects and fun Jedi/Sith times you could have. But of course, when the movie was done being promoted, they went away. Well, at least they did until today.

Epic Games revealed on Twitter today that the iconic elegant weapon of force users has returned to the game for a limited time. As you can see you can snag one of four designs. You can get Luke Skywalker's green lightsaber, Kylo Ren's crossguard lightsaber, Anakin Skywalker's original blue lightsaber which eventually ends up in the hands of Rey, and Mace Windu's purple lightsaber (although we don't know if it has the initials BMF engraved on it). The company didn't give a timeframe of how long this limited-time would be, so we're guessing it will be less than a week as they did it for Star Wars Day happening on May 4th. Incidentally, it should be noted that they're back in the game because the devs simply turned on the Season 11 challenges. So if there's ever a question in the future of how easy it would be to bring back event weapons from the past, now you know it's the programming equivalent of turning on a light switch.
