Coming in October!

Funko Round-Up: Metallica, Cereal Pop Pez, Grinch, Deadpool, and Spider-Man!

Funko announces tons of new products and licenses every day, let alone every week. It can be a lot to keep up with. So we are here to help. Welcome to the Funko Round-Up! In this edition: a Metallica album cover gets its due, two new ladies shirts featuring Deadpool, a special Spider-Man Pop, new Ad Icons Pop Pez, and The Grinch!

First up, two new Super Cute Deadpool shirts are coming this fall. The unicorn one is pretty awesome.

Five new Pop Pez Ad Cons dispensers are on the way, featuring everyone’s favorite spooky cereal mascots. These will be exclusives, and teased in a message below by Funko:

Coming this fall to one of our favorite retailers in a special
Black Friday Holiday Box filled with amazing Funko products!

My guess is Gamestop, as they have had an exclusive Funko box on Black Friday the past couple years. Most Ad Icons have been at Target though…

A bunch of Pops are coming from the new Grinch film hitting theaters later this year. Four versions of The Grinch will be available: a regular version, a young version, a version with a sweater exclusively at Walmart, and a version in his underwear at Gamestop. Max and Cindy-Lou will also see a regular release, with a version of max with antlers exclusive to FYE. A two-pack of The Grinch and Cindy-Lou can be found at Barnes and Noble. These will all be out this fall.

A new Spider-Man Funko Pop from the new smash-hit PS4 game can be found right now at Gamestop. This looks like a Mr. Negative-style suit (I haven’t played the game yet, I don’t know).

Finally, Lady Justice from the album cover of the Metallica classic …And Justice For All is coming in October. This is a super cool idea, and I love the marble look and sculpt.

“Halls of justice painted green/ Money talking/ Power wolves
beset your door/ Hear them stalking …” Metallica’s fourth album,
“…And Justice for All” had a lot to say and fans still can’t get
enough 30 years later. Celebrate the band and their beloved
fourth album with a Pop! Lady Justice pulled right
from the heavy metal band’s album art.

Can’t wait to get that one.

Many of these can be preordered here.

Let’s Take a Look at the Funko Savage World Horror Icons Figures

Funko announced their new line of Savage World figures a couple months back, and I have been hyped to get them. Thundercats are nice, but my interest lies in the horror icons. I am an unabashed horror freak, and I love me some slashers. These five figures represent some of the most iconic characters horror films have ever seen. And to top it all off: they are figures in the old Masters of the Universe style. It is like Funko created these just for me. Are they worth picking up? Let’s dive in and find out.

Funko however gets the finger wag of shame right off the bat. The packaging on these figures are cool, I like how the bubble forms around each figure to hold them and their weapon of choice in place. But they spelled Michael Myers and Freddy Krueger’s names wrong on both the front and back of the card. A small screw-up, I know, but for MOC collectors it bothers me, and for fans it in inexcusable. That shouldn’t happen, and Funko needs to be more careful.

Looking at the figures themselves, all five are great. Starting with Jason, he comes with an axe and his machete, both with handles made from bones. Each figure is six points of articulation, at the head, hips and legs and arms. Just like He-Man. In what will be a common theme for all of these, the handles on the weapons are too thin for their hands, so they don’t hold them very well. Where these figures shine is the sculpt. I love the look of these guys, all bulked up and with character-specific battle damage to their familiar costumes. The ribs sticking out of Jason’s chest, his broken mask. Awesome stuff there Funko.

Pinhead comes with the most accessories, with a giant knife, a razor hook, and a puzzle box, of course. He has the least amount of battle-damage, as he should. He would thrive in a Savage World.

Freddy is the most boring of the five, but his sculpt is great. I like how his iconic sweater is nothing more than a sash at this point, and his burns are really well done. His glove is an attachment, and the fingers are made of rubber so they don’t stay all the way straight, which is a shame.

Leatherface comes with two different hand attachments. The chainsaw of course is the main one, with a hammer also included. I love the blood splatter, and the hook chain belt is a great touch. Like the others, the head sculpt is great, the mask stitching really pops and he looks quite demented.

The main event for me is Michael Myers (MYERS Funko). If he held his knives better, this would be a perfect figure. They absolutely nailed the head sculpt. It is perfect. I love how his gas station uniform is portrayed here as well, right down to the stitching on the pockets. Those knives though.I can get past it, but it does not look right at all.

So, should you buy these? At $14.99 a figure (that’s what I paid, I have seen them as cheap as $12.99 on preorder), I would say yes. Card issues aside these pose and stand really well, feature great, imaginative sculpting, and offer a really unique take on some of horror’s most beloved characters. I wish they held their weapons better, and I really wish Funko had not screwed up the cards ( I would get a second set to keep MOC if they hadn’t), but these will be great Halloween display fodder every year, and will look great on my horror shelves.

If you want to get these for yourself, they are hitting at Gamestop pretty hard, or you can order them here.
