Captain Marvel Has Two Of the Coolest Funko Pops Released Lately

Captain Marvel figures and merchandise is hitting full throttle right now, and Funko is right there of course to bring us all of the Carol Danvers we can handle. A full wave of Pops is in stores now, including many versions of Carol, Goose, Nick Fury, Maria Rambeau, and others from the upcoming MCU film. There are plenty of exclusives as well. We got our hands on the regular version, along with the chase variant. Let’s take a look at them shall we?

While the box never changes, the design work does. The blues and reds really make the box easy on the eyes.The regular releases are listed on the back of course, although I never understand why sometimes Funko will list the full wave plus exclusives and such and sometimes they don’t.

First up is the regular Captain Marvel figure. I really do love the suit design for the film, and Funko nailed it. No paint splotching or bleed anywhere, and no weird stray black paint either. Some figures lately have had little black splotches all over them, it has been strange. Carol does not however, although with her big hair piece and being a bobblehead you need to use the included stand to get her to stay upright.

The cooler and way easier to stand chase version features Carol in her helmet with one of Marvel’s best-looking mohawks on full display. This is one of the most badass Pops in some time. While both versions have their good points, this chase takes the cake as the must-own of the whole wave. I just hope we get a ton of her in the helmet in the film.

Both of these are worthy of purchase, but if you can track it down get the chase. They will dry up fast and you don’t want to pay secondary market price, no matter what it ends up being. If you want to try your luck, you can order here and who knows? Maybe you will get one.

Coming Soon From Funko: Michael Jordan Pop!

Pop! NBA: Michael Jordan

Michael Jordan is driving to the basket as he had done countless times as a Pop! figure.
The most recognizable basketball player in the world can count 15 seasons of professional basketball, six NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Awards, 10 scoring titles, five MVP awards and countless other accolades to his credit. Michael Jordan might be basketball royalty but all he needs is a comfortable shelf to rest his weary feet.

Look for another version of the NBA star at Target!

Look for Michael Jordan in a black Chicago Bulls uniform only at Fanatics!

Jude Law Teases Cool Thing With Gravity His ‘Captain Marvel’ Character Does

While the confirmation jury is still out on whether or not Jude Law‘s Captain Marvel character is actually Mar-Vell or Yon Rogg [or both?!], we do have some insight as to the nature of the character’s relationship to Starforce and Carol Danvers.

We *do* know that Yon Rogg has a part to play in the film, as Executive Producer Jonathan Schwartz confirmed to ComicBook.com:

“Yon-Rogg does pop up, yeah. He’s an important part of the mythology.”

In a recent interview with our friends over at Collider, Law divulged some interesting tidbits, treading that line of what he can and cannot say [due to the magic of Marvel Studios’ ability to staunch leaks]:

Collider: Can you tell us who is your character and what can you tell us about him?

JUDE LAW: He heads Starforce which is an elite special forces-esqe group of Kree warriors, and also mentor to Carol, Brie’s character.

Collider: How would you describe your relationship with Carol Danvers? The mentor-mentee thing, would you describe it like a Yoda/Obi-Wan …

LAW: [Laughs] I wish! Do I look like Yoda?

Collider: Or more of a karate master?

LAW: I like that one! Just because of the age, it’s not like a sort of wise old master. It’s much more, I’d say that as leader of the group I lead by example, so he’s very much hands on combat. The relationship really is about containment. There’s a sort of control to my character, there’s a sense of focus and clarity and discipline, and really that’s one of the things I think of the piece, is trying to contain and what is being in control and what isn’t.

Collider: Is there anything you can tell us about how they meet up and a little bit about the origin of their relationship?

LAW: Not really because of the order in which the story is told, but their bond and their relationship as mentor and mentee, pupil and sensei, and how they met and what they offer to each other is very much at the heart of the film and the journey that Brie’s character goes on. That kind of would be the spoiler of all spoilers to be really honest. [Laughs] You hit the nail on the head there.

Collider: Can you talk about the other members of Starforce beyond Carol Danvers?

LAW: Yeah, I can. I can talk about Djimon, right? Korath who appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy. Obviously this is a few years before, so young Korath, he is second in command. Minn-Erva played by Gemma Chan is a sniper and a long range specialist. We have Bron-Char who is basically a blue giant played by Rune Temte from Norway, and Al Gennis, he plays Atlas. He’s another sniper expert or weapons specialist. Have I left anyone out? No. Me. That’s it. [Laughs] It’s very elite. There’s only six of us.

Collider: Can you talk about some of the abilities your character has?

LAW: He’s a pistol and knife man. I’ve got this kind of cool business I can do with gravity. [Laughs]

A THING WITH GRAVITY?! Okay, we’re even MORE interested now.

Captain Marvel hits theaters on March 8th 2019.

Funko Introduces Pop Candy Line With Sour Patch Kids and Peeps Pops

Funko is introducing a new numbering for Pops under the banner of Candy. So, we now have Pops made of candy. I can’t say that this wasn’t expected, but like always, they surprised me with the two candies they are using to launch the line. Sour Patch Kids are awesome, and the Funko Pops look adorable. Who actually likes Peeps? Besides Peep Wars in microwaves, I am pretty sure that I have never met a single person who actually eats them. Alas, they have been immortalized as Pops.

Sour. Sweet. All yours. If you can’t choose between
sour and sweet, these Sour Patch Kids are
the perfect Pop! buddies for you. Choose between Orange, Redberry,
Lemon and Blue Raspberry, or collect them
all and assemble your own rainbow of Sour Patch kids.

Add some cute to your basket this Easter!
Introducing Pop! PEEPS® collectable bunnies! Bring home a

My only question is where the watermelon Sour Patch Kid Funko Pop is. That is everyones favorite one, and I cannot think of anything more adorable than a watermelon Sour Patch Kid Funko Pop with big eyes and a smiling face.

You can preorder these right here. They will be out soon.
