Revered toy maker Funko has announced another lineup of Pop! Vinyls that will be released sometime in the coming year — and this time, it’s every ’90s kids’ dream: A return to classic Nickelodeon characters.

Funko released concept art for the new lineup of characters, including CatDog (from the series of the same name), Krumm, Oblina and Ickis from “Ahh! Real Monsters,” and Tommy Pickles, Reptar and Chuckie Finster from “Rugrats.” Take a look at the concept art for each character in the line, below:

Funko did not announce a release date, other than 2017, or pricing information for the figures. This line of Pop! Vinyls will be joining other recent releases from Funko such as Parks and Recreation, Gwenpool, and DC Bombshells.

There has been no information on whether other classic ’90s Nickelodeon characters will be joining this first group.

First airing in 1990, “Rugrats” told the unique experience of a group of babies and toddlers, and stayed on TV for 16 years, airing its final episode in 2006. “Ahh! Real Monsters” arrived in 1994 and told the stories of three monsters who were learning how to scare children; it lasted for three years. “CatDog” hit the small screen in 1998 and stayed on TV until 2005; The show told the story of conjoined siblings, a cat and a dog, and how they dealt with the strange challenges of their existence.

Treat Yo Self to Parks & Rec Funko Pop! Vinyls

Treat yo self, 2017!

What’s better than 5000 candles in the wind? New Funko Pop! figurines based on the characters of “Parks and Recreation.” Funko released concept art for the figurines on its site on Monday.

The first round of characters from Pawnee will include Leslie Knope, Ron Swanson, Tom Haverford, April Ludgate, Andy Dwyer and the greatest tiny horse around, Li’l Sebastian.

Funko did not announce a release date for the figures except that they will be hitting stores sometime in 2017. There was also no mention of whether more characters from the hit tv show will be joining the ranks of other pop vinyl characters such as Gwenpool, Naruto Shippuden and DC Bombshells.

“Parks and Recreation” was a mockumentary tv show that followed Leslie Knope and her friends that work in the Parks and Recreation department of the Pawnee local government. The show aired from 2009 to 2015 and has a 90 percent on “Rotten Tomatoes.” It starred Amy Poehler, Nick Offerman, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Pratt, Aziz Ansari, Adam Scott, Rashida Jones, Rob Lowe, Jim O’Heir and Retta.

Hugh Jackman Teases Logan Theater Display

Hugh Jackman took to Twitter on Monday to share a new theater display for his upcoming return to the X-Men Universe, “Logan.”

The display features Jackman as Wolverine carrying X-23 as the two run into, or away, from danger.

“Logan” is set in the near future where Wolverine’s healing factor no longer exists. Logan and Professor Charles Xavier cope with the loss of the X-Men when a corporation run by a man named Nathaniel Essex is destroying the world. Logan will band together with a young woman named Laura (X-23) to stop Essex. Since this movie is Jackman’s last hurrah as Wolverine, fans have speculated that X-23, played by Dafne Keen, will take up the mantle of the clawed hero much like she did in the X-Men comics.

Directed by James Mangold, written by Michael Green, Scott Frank, James Mangold and David James Kelly, and starring Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Boyd Holbrook, Richard E. Grant, Dafne Keen and Stephen Merchant, “Logan” arrives in theaters on March 3, 2017.
