Historical Funko Pop Artists, Presidents and Icons Are Coming Soon

Published Sun, 27 Oct 2019 10:20:49 -0500

This set of October releases are all based on actual real historical people which is a new concept for Funko. Pop History/Icons and Artists are one of the most recent categories that Funko has released. A lot of these historical icons have hit Target as exclusives like Abraham Lincoln and we have even seen George Washington crossing the Delaware River as a historical Funko Pop Moment. This time we are getting three new presidents and a first lady. First, we are beginning John F. Kennedy and his wife Jackie Kennedy. Following them will be Jimmy Carter and last but not least Ronald Reagan. As weird as it sounds I honestly hope they make one Historical Funko Pops and one of each of the presidents as that would be historically kick-ass collection to have. Next up will be getting Supreme Court Judge and famous "Notorious RBG" Ruth Bader Ginsberg. This one is kind of surprising as I'm not sure how many Supreme Court judge fans are out there but it's interesting that there are even stepping out of their comfort zone. Finally, on the Historical Funko least we will be getting two new artist Funko Pops. First up is Renaissance artist Leonardo Da Vinci who needs no introduction as well as dutch Post-impressionist Vincent Van Gogh, (cut off ear sold separately). I'm sure these won't be the last two artists Funko Pops to come out of the series and I'm sure some fans would love to own these.

These historical and iconic characters based on the real world people are new and interesting concepts inside Funko and I dig it. I hope we see a lot more of these, as a historian is nice to see an appreciation for icons who pushed the world forward. None of these are exclusive and are all set for common release which I expect would be 2020 you can pre-order yours today which can be located here.
