Proceeds will benefit conservationist organization Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors and help protect orphaned, injured and endangered wildlife.

To celebrate Steve Irwin’s birthday and National Wildlife Day today, eBay for Charity is partnering with the Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriorsfor a one-of-a-kind charity auction featuring a Funko Pop! collection of the legendary wildlife warrior, which includes an incredibly rare prototype. 

Fans from around the world can head to ebay.com/wildlifewarriorstoday through March 3 to bid on a collection of all three Steve Irwin Pop! figurines, plus the rare prototype. This exclusive set includes Steve Irwin dressed in his signature khaki with a crocodile, the recently released and very exclusive Steve Irwin with a snake, the limited edition Steve Irwin with Turtle Chase plus, the incredibly rare prototype of Steve Irwin with Turtle Chase!

All of the proceeds will benefit Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors, a conservationist organization created by Steve and Terri Irwin in 2002 as a way to include and involve caring people in the support and conservation of the world’s most threatened wildlife species and natural habitats. Wildlife Warriors from around the world have joined forces to continue Steve’s mission to protect orphaned, injured and endangered wildlife – from the individual animals to an entire species.
