The American Toy Fair doesn’t start until February, but the London Toy Fair is in full effect now, and Funko have chosen to roll out their 2017 lineup in a big way. As they continue to acquire the rights to every single thing you’ve ever liked, this year’s offerings include new stuff from Lord of the Rings, Power Rangers, Alias, Death Note, Mass Effect, Reservoir Dogs, Naruto, Donnie Darko, Pee-wee Herman, Ghost in the Shell…even Tekken is representing!
Much of these products are still in the concept art phase, but it’s pretty easy to imagine what it’ll look like in three dimensions. The Steve Buscemi Pop vinyl looks meme-worthy already for every time you feel skeptical, and the larger-scale Balrog manages to retain his intimidating demon nature despite being cute-ified.
Meanwhile, Donnie Darko and his time-traveling pal Frank look happier than ever as Dorbz, and a DC TV line of Mystery Minis doesn’t confine itself to the CW-verse, but includes Gotham as well. hug some plush Power Rangers with oversized heads, or collect the cutest Street Fighters ever. In what I think is a first, one of the Dorbz this year actually has a sad face…because it’s Sadness from Inside Out, and let’s face it, a smile on her would be blasphemy.
Most hilarious, though, is a Mystery Minis set dedicated solely to characters on The Walking Dead who’ve been killed off, colored in shades of gray to look like ghosts. That has to be one interesting afterlife.
As of this writing, there are still even more reveals to come, and we’ve already spotlighted the Nicktoons Pops and Twin Peaks action figures and Pops. What more could you ask for? Well, all we know is Funko will find a way to figure out the other things you never knew you wanted. Check out the gallery below for all the poppy goodness–we’ll be updating as more images come in.
