POP Frank Starring as the Troll (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia)

Frank Reynolds, father of Dennis and Dee - although it has been shown that he is not their biological father - is played in the series It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia by the brilliant Danny de Vito. The actor joined the series simply because his children enjoyed it. His aura as a high-profile actor helped to rekindle the appeal of the series, which became the longest-running comedy series on American cable television, having been on the air for more than 15 years and never stopping.

The craze for the series It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is based first of all on the particular humor of this series and no other. A cynical, extreme and even corrosive humor that mocks all taboos and goes very far in black humor. The series benefits from an exceptional batch of legendary episodes of which one in particular: A Nightman Cometh. An episode centered around a musical written by Charlie that... as with all projects undertaken by the Paddy's Pub Gang, will end badly for them.

In this musical, Frank, who is here a totally scruffy character who doesn't give a damn about anything, plays a troll. It must be said that his ungainly physique predisposes him to it. Also, this one will benefit in all and for all of one scene in the play. A single scene that he will screw up abominably for the greatest pleasure of the audience, contributing to exacerbate the fury of Charlie.

Indeed, the Troll interpreted by Frank should in principle benefit from only one song. And his pronunciation, then, will ruin the whole performance to the point of embarrassing the audience. Instead of singing "You've got to pay the troll to enter the Boy's soul", Frank pronounced "Boy's soul" as "Boy's hole". This change of meaning will greatly contribute to ruining the play and causing hilarity to the audience who appreciate dark humor.

The Funko POP figure of Frank playing the Troll is as accurate as the original character. Of all the characters in the musical, Frank is indeed the only one to have benefited from a substantial makeup budget. This, the Funko POP of Frank interpreting the Troll transcribes it wonderfully.

We see it, with a wig falling on his face, the figurine of Frank interpreting the Troll has all the panoply to look like a real troll. With a fake nose, fake pustules on his face, a scruffy tunic and a stick, the Troll role is perfectly dressed for the musical. The POP figure of Frank playing the Troll, then, depicts Frank Reynolds in full costume down to the last detail.

In his position the Funko POP figure of Frank playing the Troll shows him reaching forward while holding his staff. It is in this position that he asks the Nightman to pay him to get into the boy's soul.
