Reis and I usually have some back-and-forth conversations with characters but this one took a lot more than that and we’re relieved that you like it. : Let’s walk through the sculpts of each one so you can call out some of the fine details or highlight areas that were challenging.īrian Merten: While we’re on the subject of Frog Lady, I’ll say that getting the color right on the face presented a larger challenge than usual with the undertone and blends. I always like to have at least one character per wave that makes people say, “Oh wow! I can’t believe they made that one! I gotta have it!” And in the Pop! world, characters like that make for a perfect collectible. But we often discuss those breakout characters that may not have the biggest role, but will resonate with fans and collectors. So I’d consider making her into a Pop! a classic “no brainer.” It just had to be done.Īs far as the other characters are concerned, we always know who the main heroes and villains are going to be, so they get chosen automatically. Reis O’Brien: Personally, when I first saw her, I immediately thought she’d make such a fun Pop! Then, when I noticed the fan reaction online, I knew right away that we had a fan-favorite on our hands. I would imagine that you’re pleased that we didn’t land on an ice spider. For this, we did have a little bit of conversation and easily landed on the Frog Lady. That’s where characters like the Frog Lady and the Gamorrean fighter come in. Maybe even throwing in a little unpredictability, surprise and delight as they say. For this newest wave of Funko Pops!, how did you decide which characters and moments you wanted to include from Season 2 of The Mandalorian?īrian Merten: Thanks for taking the time to interview us! Some characters are obvious first choices that rise to the top with others, we like to keep the offering fresh and exciting. : First of all, thank you for making the Frog Lady figure of my dreams.
FUNKO POP THE LAST OF US FULL
Recently, sat down with Lucasfilm’s senior manager of product design Brian Merten and Funko’s creative director Reis O’Brien to talk about the challenges of capturing Boba Fett’s scars, replicating Fennec Shand’s fox-like hair, and capturing Grogu’s full range of emotion. The new lineup of collectibles includes both a Dark Trooper and Luke Skywalker holding Grogu, Cobb Vanth, the Child deep in meditation, and versions of Fennec Shand and Boba Fett, including the duo perched on a throne in the palace formerly known as Jabba’s. Well, it's a step up from the Twin Peaks line at least.Fans of the Frog Lady from The Mandalorian, rejoice! The new mom and patient Grogu sitter is joining the next wave of Star Wars Funko Pop! bobbleheads based on characters and moments from the second season of the Disney+ series.Īnd she’s not alone. Just weeks after the show hit Netflix, a line of Squid Game Funkos are on the way, depicting adorable versions of characters who are fighting to the death for a better life. That's right, apparently no show can be too on-the-nose with its message ever again, because a heck of a lot of people will miss it anyway.

Or maybe I watched the wrong show, because otherwise it would be really weird that everyone is trying to monetize it right now. It might all be for nothing if you aren't the lucky one percent, and you end up just where you were at the start. It takes ruthlessness, stomping on those less fortunate, and then even with blood on your hands, you can lose anyway. It holds an uncomfortable light to the lengths you must go to, either to just survive under capitalism - or in the case of the business class - thrive under it. Squid Game is a show that explores the desperation of debt and poverty.
