Deadpool Serves Venom Chimichangas In Spicy Funko Cartoon

Marvel and Funko have teamed up for a series of animated shorts highlighting the toy line’s fan favorite Pop! Vinyl line. After installments focusing on Spider-Man, Loki, Rocket Raccoon and Groot, the Funko shorts have taken a turn — towards the dark side.

The latest silent animated short pits the Merc with a Mouth (Deadpool) against the Lethal Protector (Venom). Of course whenever Deadpool is involved, his favorite food is also involved — and this short answers whether or not Venom can handle the power of a chimichanga.

Funko’s announced plenty of new Pops recently, including new entries in their “Beauty and the Beast” line and adorable figures tied to the decidedly mature “Logan” feature film. Marvel’s Jessica Jones is also getting a Funko Pop! based on her Netflix series, and another Netflix show — “Stranger Things” — is also joining in on the fun. And as if that isn’t enough, there’s even a full line of X-Men figures and Power Rangers figures on the way, too.

The Company, which has always been located north of Seattle and has been headquartered in Everett for 3 years at 1202 Shuksan Way, will relocate its corporate offices in 2017.

The Company signed a long-term lease for the iconic Port Gardner Building which was most recently home to Trinity Lutheran College and will remodel the 90,000 square foot space, transforming the downtown Everett building into a space that will reflect the personality of the Funko brand.  The space will ultimately accommodate approximately 300 employees in its expanding art, marketing, sales, finance, information technology, human resources, operations and legal departments and will feature a 6,000 square foot flagship store for visitors to shop the expansive collection of licensed products, including Funko Pop! Vinyls, Dorbz, Plush and more. The flagship store will be an interactive opportunity for visitors to dive in and experience the heart of Funko’s fandom.

Mariotti continued, “Over the last 5 years we have seen a surge of new content driving consumer demand and growth in our business. With the recent additions to our Board and executive team coupled with this move to a larger headquarters that is in line with our brand vision, we believe we have the right team and resources in place to continue to lead the market and drive our business forward.”

The new Funko headquarters will also serve to showcase the unique phenomenon that has garnered the impressively loyal following the Company has today. The Company intends to create a pop-culture hub in Everett for Funko fans, hosting events to celebrate in conjunction with major pop culture events in the area.

“We are thrilled that Funko has chosen to remain headquartered in Everett and we look forward to watching their continued growth,” said Mayor Ray Stephanson. “The City of Everett has excellent partners who care about enriching and improving our community and we look forward to continuing our relationship with the Funko team.”
