Oscar-Nominated Film The Shape of Water and Guillermo del Toro Get Funko Pops!

The Shape of Water is the most-nominated film in the 2017 awards season, and the aquatic love story has hit a chord with fans the world over. The gothic beauty of a girl-meets-monster story was perfectly brought to the screen by del Toro via FOX Searchlight, and now to your shelf and desk by Funko.

That’s right — Funko has released a set of POP! vinyls featuring Guillermo, Eliza (played by Oscar nominated actress Sally Hawkins), and the Amphibian Man (played by the should-have-been-nominated Doug Jones).

Del Toro’s figure sports glasses, his facial hair (with a tiny soul patch of grey), his signature golden ring, and a book. The Eliza has the custodian with her trusty broom, and green uniform dress. The Amphibian Man is raised on one leg, as though floating in water, with an outstretched finger.

Check them out:

One of the most talented directors in the film industry – our friend
Guillermo del Toro –  will now be memorialized as a Pop!,

and Elisa is dramatized in one of the stand out films of 2017.

No release date has been set for these figures, but we’ll keep you updated.

Weird Al, M. Night, Ronda Rousey, and More: The Weekly Static s01e29

I know you wanna leave me, but I refuse to let you go. If I have to beg and plead for your sympathy, I don’t mind cause you mean that much to… The Weekly Static!

A plague of locusts upon your homes if you didn’t know that was The Temptations  – and I would’ve gotten away with it, too, if it wasn’t for you meddling…

The Weekly Static is our look at the past week in the land of the networks, cable, streaming, smoke signals, cloud formations, and shadow puppets from an interesting and entertaining perspective. So The Weekly Static (myself, Rocky, Trejo, Bat-Murr and Margot Staten) makes you three promises…free of charge (minus postage & handling)!

● Offer blunt, honest perspectives on five TV topics from the past week covered by Bleeding Cool’s team of news-thirsty writers. Just to be clear? My views are my views and don’t reflect on the writers. We own what we say 110%.

● Spotlight a news item that we missed when it first hit, but we’re pretty sure you’ll want to know about.

● Feed my insatiable-yet-fragile ego with buckets of praise, adulation, social media shares, pizza, Superman Funkos, Eisner Awards, write-in votes for the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election (…damn right…) and a chicken parm hero.

But before we get to our “Top 5,” I think it’s time for a…

“Written and executive produced by Woodruff and directed by Mark Pellington, The Enemy Within is a character-driven investigative thriller set in the world of counterintelligence. It focuses on former CIA agent Erica Wolfe (Carpenter), the most notorious traitor in modern history and most hated woman in America, who is brought out of a federal supermax prison by the FBI to help stop some of the most dangerous acts of espionage threatening the United States today.

Carpenter’s Wolfe is a highly intelligent codebreaker who learned her craft from her father and disclosed highly sensitive information to a former Russian intelligence agent. Chestnut will play Will Keaton, an FBI counter-intelligence agent who had brought down the traitor Erica Wolfe and whose fiancee had been murdered as a result of Wolfe’s activities.”
