    First Look: ‘The Book of Boba Fett’ Funko Pops!

    It turns out the synergy of Disney Plus Day spread beyond announcements and trailers of upcoming programming. As part of the event, we now have our first look at two Funko Pop! figures from the upcoming and highly anticipated streaming series, The Book of Boba Fett.

    The first two Pops from the line are, to nobody’s surprise, based on the two leads of the series, Boba Fett and his companion Fennec Shand.

  • First Look at ‘The Matrix: Resurrections’ Funko Pops

    First Look at ‘The Matrix: Resurrections’ Funko Pops

    Any popular medium nowadays can’t help but get a Funko Pop. So, when The Matrix: Resurrections dropped its trailer, it was just a matter of time before we get our first look at them. Luckily, it seems that @DisTrackers noticed that they’ve already started to surface on Amazon’s European markets. The first look includes Keanu Reeves‘ new look as Neo with some John Wick-inspired flair, Carrie-Anne Moss‘ Trinity in her classic outfit, and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II‘s take on Morpheus. An official release by Funko did include his psychiatrist and Morpheus with an additional suit.

    Matrix is no stranger to getting its own collection of Funkos. It’s fun to compare how these characters have evolved from one entry into the next. Resurrections might become one of the most mind-bending parts of the franchise. It’s interesting they are only currently focusing on these three, as we meet a few other familiar faces in the trailer. So, I wouldn’t be too surprised if they share some new additions in the lead-up to the film’s release or afterward due to their spoiler nature.

  • Mysterious ‘What If…?’ Supreme Leader Funko Pop Turns Out to Be Transformed Doctor Strange

    Mysterious ‘What If…?’ Supreme Leader Funko Pop Turns Out to Be Transformed Doctor Strange

    We’ve had quite some fun trying to decipher who exactly was the Funko Pop titled “Supreme Leader.” At first, we believed it was What If..?‘s Ultron given his new status and ownership of the Infinity Stones. Yet, it turned out he was simply given the name “Infinity Ultron” before getting released. So, we’ve been wondering who the mysterious and unannounced New York Comic Con Funko might end up being. Finally, the wait is over, as we got our first look at the character and it is actually Doctor Strange Supreme, but the version possessed by the different beasts and demons he’s absorbed.

    It’s a great addition to the quite diverse line-up of Funko’s for the Disney+ series. What If…?‘s anthology approach did open up the doors for some creative releases. Of course, the most popular and available Funko Pops involved the zombie episode. There’s something fun about the fact that Marvel Studios added these horror staples into the mostly family-friendly franchise.

    We recently saw the zombified version of Captain America appear in Avengers Campus. It makes you wonder if they’ll go all out and include the transformed Doctor Strange at some point. It would make for an imposing addition during Halloween to see Strange mid-transformation, as he tries to find someone at the park to help him return back to normal. It makes you wish you were at the campus during the season of horror to see what they’ll try out.

  • New ‘What If…?’ Funko Pops Include Frost Giant Loki, Ravager Thanos, and More

    New ‘What If…?’ Funko Pops Include Frost Giant Loki, Ravager Thanos, and More

    Finally, the second wave of What If…? Funko Pops have found their way online featuring some of the supporting cast. In each of the episodes, not only do we meet a variety of new twists on iconic stories but also how a simple change alters the entire world. The new Funko Pops include Frost Giant Loki, Ravager Thanos, and quite a few additions from the finale. You can check out the new line of Funkos right here:

    Ironically, we believed that Ultron was going to take on the mantle of Supreme Leader, but it turned out he was called Infinity Ultron. So, the inclusion of Killmonger taking on the mantle made us believe he may finally turn out to be him, but he’s also known as Infinity Killmonger. So, the Supreme Leader is very likely the Zola-possessed version of Vision, who doesn’t have an official name as of yet.

  • ‘What If…?’ Ultron’s Funko Pop Isn’t the Leaked Supreme Leader

    ‘What If…?’ Ultron’s Funko Pop Isn’t the Leaked Supreme Leader

    Last week, a reliable leaker shared the potential naming of Ultron being changed to “Supreme Leader.” It seemed like a fitting name for a version of this character to take ownership of the Infinity Stones and tackle multiversal domination. Yet, now that the episode went online we also got the official Funko reveal. It turns out, it wasn’t the Supreme Leader but rather simply known as “Infinity Ultron.”

    So, this naturally opens up the question of who the Funko known as “Supreme Leader” is meant to be. There are still five planned to release in the third series of Pops that are part of this series. There’s a chance that some minor characters will get their time to shine in the finale that didn’t get attention earlier on. As such, they could get some Funko Pops alongside their larger role in the finale. There’s also the chance it still ends up being Ultron, as he may go through some transformations.

    In the comments, another well-known Funko leaker pop_freak1 shares that the Supreme Leader is 6” and Amazon shared. As such, it’s larger than the average 4” Funkos. There’s a chance it might be inspired by the brief Galactus moment we got in the latest episode. It could also be a special Funko for The Watcher in the golden armor we saw, as he will most likely lead the Guardians of the Multiverse. Whatever it may turn out to be, it looks like we have a lot more heading our way once the finale airs.

  • ‘WHAT IF…?’s Queen Ramonda Gets a New Funko Pop Alongside Killmonger as Black Panther

    ‘WHAT IF…?’s Queen Ramonda Gets a New Funko Pop Alongside Killmonger as Black Panther

    The tradition continues, as now that a few days have passed since the latest episode of What If…? dropped, Funko unveiled their latest Marvel-inspired Funko Pops. This time around, Queen General Ramonda is getting her own Funko. It’s revealed alongside the Killmonger as Black Panther design, which leaked his upcoming conflicts with the head of an Ultron sentry in his hand. It’s interesting that the Ramonda Funko never found its way online, as she had a prominent role in some of the earlier trailers.

    It’s great to see Funko continue offering these characters as Funko Pop, and we’re seeing a trend of giving otherwise minor characters more focus in merchandise. They are popular collectibles and it’s great that they are rolling them out alongside their reveal in the various episodes. It adds another layer to how Marvel is utilizing their weekly releases to also create synergy with their merchandising. We still have a few episodes to go, and it’ll be interesting who else might get a Funko that hasn’t already leaked online.

  • Leak Offers First Look at Marvel Studios’ ‘What If’ Funko Pops

    Leak Offers First Look at Marvel Studios’ ‘What If’ Funko Pops

    Marvel Studios is set to release one of their first animated projects in the form of What if?, a series that will explore variants who broke out of the Sacred Timeline. We’re still eagerly awaiting a release date for the project as it was slated to release sometime this summer, which we should soon get when Loki ends. Recently, we’ve been learning a lot about the episodes and just who and what will be featured in each and this new promo leak from Funko gives us a brand new look at the characters before their debut in the series, so make some room on that shelf for your inevitable purchases.

    The upcoming wave of pop figures features five figures, not listing any potential retailer exclusives. The first figures look to be Captain Carter, joined by the Hydra Stomper, piloted by Steve Rogers. We also get a look at T’Challa as Star-lord alongside what could be our best looks yet at Gamora, Daughter of Thanos, and Doctor Strange Supreme, the evil sorcerer.

     

    The most interesting addition here is Gamora’s new title, as she seems to have inherited the same weight of the name Thanos once held as a scourge on the galaxy. This one seems to have lived up to her father’s legacy and never joined the guardians of the galaxy. The figures currently have no set release date but look to be hitting stores now, an indication that the series could be coming soon. Fans will have to wait for official word from Marvel as to when they can expect the series though.

  • Latest ‘Loki’ Funko Pop Revealed for Sophia Di Martino’s Sylvie

    Latest ‘Loki’ Funko Pop Revealed for Sophia Di Martino’s Sylvie

    The tradition continues, as another Funko Pop has found its way online for the latest Disney+ series. As the latest episode focused on introducing the world to the Loki Variant played by Sophia Di Martino, it was only. question of time before we get her unique Funko. Not just that, it seems they also wanted to make her stand out, as the new Funko will also include a glow-in-the-dark version to highlight her green enchantment powers.

    Here is the Funko Variant showcasing her eyes and sword glowing in the iconic green:

    We got the reveal for two more Funkos last week featuring some more TVA members last week and there might be many more heading our way. It’s uncertain what other characters we might expect in the coming weeks to join the series and if they are big enough to get their own Funko Pop. Still, it’s become a fun tradition that these get revealed shortly after even if sometimes they accidentally end up leaking things ahead of time for upcoming series due to early listings.

    Loki has been an exciting project that explores the Marvel Cinematic Universe in creative ways. We got our glimpse at the opening of the multiverse and the introduction of the Time Variance Authority. It broke many of the classic conventions and it’ll be interesting to see how it continues to grow. We still know very little about the show’s next few episodes with the latest featurette offering a glimpse at Sylvie’s fate. We cannot wait for Wednesday to return.

    Upcoming ‘The Mandalorian’ Funko Pop Vinyls Include Bo-Katan, Boba Fett, Dark Troopers, and More

    Since the early days of Star Wars, it’s been all about the merchandise. It seemed like they were out of stock most of the time, as fans tried to get their hands on the latest toys.

  • ‘Falcon and the Winter Soldier’: First Look at John Walker’s Funko Pop Revealed

    ‘Falcon and the Winter Soldier’: First Look at John Walker’s Funko Pop Revealed

    The Falcon and The Winter Soldier is already nearing its halfway point with its upcoming third episode. Last week, we saw Bucky confront Sam about giving up the shield, which would result in the introduction of the newest Captain America, John Walker. Of course, with every addition, there must come merchandise. No, we aren’t talking about the in-universe merch, but the real-world. Just like Wandavision, Funko has given us a first look at the upcoming addition to its Falcon and The Winter Solider line-up.

     

    John Walker is in a similar pose to when he got revealed to the world. He is even in his full Captain America costume like in that scene. The figure currently has no set release date. Luckily, it’s not an exclusive Funko Pop. So, you won’t have to worry about its availability. Funko seems to be following a similar reveal schedule as they did Wandavision. The Funko Pops of Pietro, White Vision, and Agatha only got revealed after they’ve debuted. The strategy, however, has had a bumpy history with leaks finding their way online frequently.

    The Falcon and The Winter Soldier is currently streaming on Disney+. The series stars Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan, as they set their differences aside and work together to face the villainous Flag Smashers. The upcoming episode will also see the return of Daniel Brühl‘s Helmut Zemo, who will add enough chaos to the already strained relationship between our favorite heroes. The future of the Captain America title will be determined in the upcoming weeks.
