The RIVERDALE Kids Join The Funko Pop! Family

When a mysterious, somewhat risque live-action version of wholesome comic book characters from the pages of Archie Comics was first announced, none of us really knew what to think. But less than a year later, Riverdale on the CW is one of TV’s most addictive hours. Who knew a post-modern, sexy update of the usually squeaky clean Archie gang is just what the doctor ordered for 2017?

Now our friends at Funko are getting in on the Riverdale love fest, and producing their first wave of vinyl Pop! figures based on the show. The first wave lineup includes Archie Andrews, wearing his Riverdale High letterman’s jacket; Archie’s longtime friend and neighbor Betty Cooper; the new girl Veronica Lodge; social outcast Jughead Jones; and everyone’s favorite mean girl and head cheerleader, Cheryl Blossom, who will only be available only at Hot Topic locations.

In addition, there will also be an exclusive version of Jughead wearing his Serpents gang leather jacket, which will also be available only at Hot Topic. And although there isn’t a prototype figure yet, Funko have announced that fan-must-have Josie McCoy, leader of Riverdale High’s #1 band Josie and the Pussycats, will be available exclusively at SDCC and Hot Topic next summer.

You can check out images of the first wave of Riverdale Pop! figures down below in our gallery.

Are you excited to add the Riverdale gang to your Funko collection? And who do you want to see appear in wave two? I’m putting an early vote out for Kevin Keller myself. Be sure to let us know down below in the comments.
