POP Timon (The Lion King)

Timon is an important character in the Disney cartoon The Lion King. This cartoon tells the story of Simba, a young lion cub destined to become king of the savannah, after his father Mufasa. Following a betrayal by his brother Scar, Mufasa dies and the young Simba, guilty of his death, flees into the desert. He faints from exhaustion in the desert, where Timon and Pumbaa, who were playing bowling harriers, discover him.

Timon is a meerkat who lives with the warthog Pumbaa in an oasis far from Lions' Land. The two form a rather funny duo, full of energy who only think about having fun! They have a philosophy of life, quite zen, based on the Hakuna Matata, life without any worries. So they spend their time playing and tasting insects and larvae. It is with this philosophy of life that Simba, adopted by the duo, will grow up far from his own. Timon has a big heart and an overflowing energy, he is always relaxed and loves insects. Timon is unquestionably the leader of the duo but is not easy to bear: he is very impatient, grumbling and doesn't like not being listened to. Their carefree life is turned upside down when one day adult Simba runs into her childhood friend Nala. She encourages her to take her place in the Land of Lions. Timon and Pumbaa don't hesitate to help their friend Simba defy her uncle Scar to take back his throne.

On this Pop! figurine, Funko represents Timon standing with his beige and brown coat. We can see his big black nose and the tuft of hair on the orange-brown tones. He poses with his hands on his hips and his little smile gives him a mischievous look.
