Spider-Gwen Takes on Venom in This Animated Funko Short

Funko Pop Vinyl figures are popular to collect and display, but the company is not opposed to people playing with them too. In fact, they even want to show you how it’s done, in collaboration with Marvel. We’ve seen a few of these shorts before, but earlier today at WonderCon, the latest one entitled “Rooftop Rock,” made its debut. It features a confrontation between two of the most popular characters in the spider-verse not named “Peter” or “Miles”: Spider-Gwen and Venom.

Because this is Funko and Funko is cute, things never get too violent between the hip hoodie-wearer and the soul-sucking symbiote. But that doesn’t mean tempers don’t flare.

Now you know. Venom hates MP3 players. And knowing Funko, a company which embodies the notion of infinite variants in infinite combinations more than any Vulcan could even manage, we might end up seeing a “rankled Venom” variant that looks like the one here when he’s under attack by soundwaves. Expect seven other 90-second animated shorts to follow this season, featuring the likes of Thor, Loki, Hulk, Black Widow, Doctor Strange, Captain America, Red Skull, Ant-Man, Hulkbuster, and Ultron.

What we’d really be curious to see would be Funko animated shorts based on some of their more adult properties. What would happen in a Funko Game of Thrones adventure, for example? And would Stanley Kubrick literally rise from the grave in a hellfire-infused rage if the Clockwork Orange Funko figures had some adorably animated adventures?

And how about you, our readers? What adventures have you taken your Funkos on? Please share, in comments.

Let’s get funky with Funko.
