Any time I’m in the market for the rarest of the rare Funko releases, my first stop is always Gemini Collectibles. Sometimes I don’t even know what I’m looking for. The perfect example of that is this Black and White “Color Reject” Set of Funko’s The Beatles Pop! Rocks Yellow Submarine figures. I didn’t even know these existed!
According to Gemini Collectibles, these black and white figures were supposed to be a Gemini store exclusive. Originally, Funko was given the green light to produce these figures by the licenser and 10 sample sets were created. But before they were submitted to the licenser for approval, the licenser changed their mind and the project was scratched. 9 of these 10 sets are now available for purchase. Each box comes hand signed and numbered by Funko's Brian Mariotti on its bottom with the words "color reject" (which had to be written on the box).
This extremely rare Black and White “Color Reject” Beatles Pop! Rocks Yellow Submarine Set includes five figures: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr and the Blue Meanie and can be purchased exclusively at the Gemini Collectibles online store for $1,375 (per set).
