POP Klaus (Umbrella Academy)

Klaus Hargreeves is a member of the Umbrella Academy. The one called Number 4, or Seance, has the ability to summon the dead. This gift has frightened him ever since he was a child and Klaus tries to sabotage this power by constantly drugging himself with alcohol, pills, medication or whatever he can find...

The Umbrella Academy is the brotherhood of superheroes formed by Sir Reginald Hargreeves. All over the world, children have been born at the same time when their mothers were not pregnant a few minutes before, and each of these children has a special gift. Sir Reginald Hargreeves, an eccentric billionaire, adopted seven of these children to train them to become the protectors of humanity.

Klaus' gift is quite morbid compared to his siblings and Klaus has a hard time accepting it. While most children are afraid of the dark and of ghosts, Klaus can communicate with them. Sir Hargreeves has been very hard on the children to train them, discipline them and make them aware of their responsibility, but even harder on Klaus. His father could not stand that Klaus was afraid and refused to use his gift. In particular, he locked him for hours in a crypt, which left him traumatized for life?

When all the siblings desert the Umbrella Academy, Klaus stays close to Diego, with whom he finds a protective shoulder, even though the latter finds it difficult to impose a healthy framework on him. Klaus is also very close to Ben (number 6), his brother who died during a mission, since he has the ability to communicate with him.

On the personality side, Klaus can be described as crazy. Often drug and alcohol addicted, he is unaffected by any event, everything seems futile to him and he says openly what he thinks. His eccentric attitude, his gothic look actually encloses a very sensitive being.

Klaus' POP in Umbrella Academy is like the atypical character of the series produced by Netflix: completely offbeat! We find Klauss who seems drunk, he wears black leather pants and is shirtless. He has a pink feather boa on his shoulders and a bottle of alcohol in his hand.

Funko perfectly took again the various details to represent Klaus as a POP figurine. We find the curly brown hair, the very thin body, the drunken look but also all the little details like the black nail polish on his feet, the "good bye" tattoo on the palm of his left hand or the half erased makeup on his eyes.
