Blitz during a limited-time event featuring a reimagined version of the iconic battleship from the 2004-2009 SYFY television show – now streaming on Peacock - and new collectible characters including never-before-seen Funko Pop! versions of two fan-favorites.
For the first time, Battlestar Galactica fans can collect in-game Funko Pop! versions of President Laura Roslin and Admiral Adama by dropping Battlestar Galactica ship pieces to the bottom of the puzzle board to progress through the Event, earning coins to add new Pops! to their collection, and helping these popular characters battle the Cylons.
Players will also have a chance to collect other iconic characters in game from the popular show, including Lt. Starbuck, Six, and a Cylon Centurion. Admiral Adama, an event-exclusive collectible, can be unlocked faster by selecting one of the event-specific Battlestar Galactica characters and visiting the ship’s hangar to collect even more ship pieces.
The event starts Wednesday, July 7, 2021 at 5 p.m. PDT and will finish on Tuesday, July 13, 2021 at 5 p.m. PDT. Funko Pop! Blitz - the fast-paced match-3 puzzle game featuring Funko Pop! versions of fan-favorite characters and pop culture icons - is free to play and can be downloaded today via the Apple App Store for iPhone and iPad and Google Play Store for Android devices.
