New Funko Marvel Vinyl Figures Coming This Year
By Nick Tylwalk
If you want to celebrate your Marvel fandom in the cutest way possible, you could do a lot worse than decking out your residence with Funko’s Pop! Heroes. These uniquely stylized vinyl figures (which are technically bobble-heads, presumably for licensing reasons) have been around for several years, and they don’t seem to beout of steam yet since Marvel and Funko just revealed that more are on the way in 2014.
First up is a line of 3.75″ figures based on the upcoming “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” movie. The line features four figures: Captain America (in his latest duds), Black Widow (wielding dual pistols), Winter Solider Masked and Winter Soldier Unmasked. Spoiler: he’s someone Cap already knows! Ahem.
For something even tinier, there’s also a blind-boxed line of 2.5″ bobble-heads appropriately named Marvel Mystery Minis. If you’re not familiar with the blind box, it means that you don’t know which figure you’re getting until you open the box. And since the figures are going to come in several levels of rarity, sone will be harder to come by than others.
If the images Funko has released so far depict the final lineup, look for a mix of heroes and villains, including Spider-Man, Thor, Silver Surfer, Doctor Doom, Galactus, Thanos and Ultron.
Time to start clearing off some space on those shelves, no?
