Cartoon Network Johnny Bravo and Dexter's Laboratory Get Funko Pops

It has been quite some time that we have seen some nice Funko Pop drops on the Funko Shop. If you are unaware, usually every week collectors get new and exclusive Pop vinyls that come to the Funk-Shop. These drops usually land randomly on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. With a lot of convention cancellations, the shop has mainly been dedicated to convention exclusives from Emerald City Comic Con and WonderCon. Most recently, the shop has been dropping what they call Hidden Gems, which are modern retailer exclusives that Funko has "found" and uploaded on their site  Today that all changes as we finally get some long awaited Cartoon Network Funko Pop debuts.

Today at 2pm eastern, two legendary Cartoon Network cartoons will get pop-ified and make their way into your collection. First up is the one and only Dexter, the boy genius, from Dexter's Laboratory. This vinyl shows off the scientist in his iconic lab coat, purple gloves, and a wrench in hand. This will be a great blast from the past for most fans and Pop collector and he will be priced at $15. Next up is the ladies man himself, Johnny Bravo from the hit Cartoon Network cartoon Johnny Bravo. This Funko Pop shows off a stylish Johnny with posing with his bulging muscles. He is sporting his classic look with sunglasses, a black shirt, and a raised eyebrow. This figure will be perfect for any muscle dedicated fan, Pop collector, or dedicated cartoon fanatic. Johnny will also come in at $15, and both figures are set to release at 2pm eastern, today (April 27th). You will find the link for them here and be on your A-game as these could go fast. I hope more Cartoon Network figures come out in the future. With so many cartoons out there they have plenty of options to pick from and this was a time before we got a lot of collectibles. These Funko Pop figures could be the answer for many cartoons out there like Cow & Chicken, Kids Next Door, and Courage the Cowardly Dog. Only time will tell what Funko has up their sleeve and us here at Bleeding Cool will be watching very closely.
