POP Dustin & Dart (Stranger Things)

Dustin Henderson is one of four boys in the Netflix Stranger Things series. While the first season of the series was eventful for Dustin, season 2 promises to be even more so for him and will use all of the boy's scientific knowledge to help him understand the strange phenomena that are happening again.

Dustin's life has calmed down since his friend Will came back from the world upside down. Nevertheless, the first upheavals appear with the arrival of a newcomer in Hawkins' college: Max. Indeed Dustin falls in love with the girl, but to his great dismay, his friend Lucas also fell under the charm of Max...

The second big upheaval comes as Dustin returns from the Halloween party where he dressed up as a Ghostbuster with his friends. Dustin hears noises coming from the trash can and discovers a strange little creature, a kind of amphibian that he can't identify. Convinced that he has made a major scientific discovery, he decides to adopt the little creature and nicknames it Dart. He quickly shares the discovery with the little gang and everyone realizes that Dart may not be such a small and cute creature.

In fact, Dart's size seems to be doubling day by day. If the one appreciates the small caramels given by Dustin, his appetite will very quickly not be satiated by the sweets and Dart will even end up eating Dustin's cat!

For this new Dustin POP figurine, Funko chose to represent the character of Stranger Things in one of the first episodes of season 2. It is not a duo-pack but we find two figurines: that of Dustin and that of Dart.

Dustin is dressed in his usual outfit: blue jeans, a geeky t-shirt, his blue jacket, white sneakers and his inseparable red and white cap. On the accessory side, he has his backpack that he uses for school on his back and holds in his hand the box he made for his Halloween costume, inspired by Ghostbusters, in which he carries Dart.

On pop, Dart is in an early stage of development. One could almost say that it is Baby Dart although it already doesn't fit in Dustin's box at all! So we find a creature close to amphibians, similar to a tadpole, but with a physique that could remind us of strange creatures like the Demogorgon...
