Instead of making us wait till Jump Festa to see another trailer, Square-Enix went ahead and released the final trailer of 'Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue' for us to enjoy, and it sure is gorgeous:
In addition to the trailer, series director Tetsuya Nomura also confirmed on Twitter that more news will come tomorrow!

The highly popular Pop Funko figures may finally be adding Kingdom Hearts to their long list of franchises whose characters get the adorable bobble-head treatment, with King Mickey appearing to be the first KH-themed Pop Funko figure. KHInsider user Kupo1121 recently took a picture of a GameStop employee's computer listing upcoming Pop Funko figures, and one of them turned out to be King Mickey:

In addition to that, KH13 user Power Jusho was able to confirm the authenticity of this listing by pre-ordering the figure from GameStop:

So for those of you who wish to get their hands on the first (of hopefully many more) KH-themed Pop Funko figure, it is available for pre-order at GameStop. No release date is available at the moment, but we'll be sure to let you know once a release date is available.
