POP Vanya (Umbrella Academy)

Vanya Hargreeves is one of seven children adopted by Sir Reginald Hargreeves from Umbrella Academy. Nevertheless, she is the only one who does not have powers and therefore is not a member of the Umbrella Academy.

Constantly left out in her childhood, Vanya suffered greatly from growing up "ordinary" in an extraordinary family. She is shy, unsure of herself, apologizes all the time and takes refuge in her passion: the violin. She made it her profession and left the Hargreeves Manor along with her siblings after Ben's death .

Umbrella Academy is the Netflix series where an eccentric billionaire adopts children with superpowers to form a band of superheroes and protect the world. Sir Hargreeves gave these children a very harsh education and finally blew up the family cocoon. With Vanya, he was perhaps a little less demanding than with the others, probably because he had no expectations of her.

Until he was 31 years old, Vanya was therefore always convinced that he had no power. Shut out since her childhood, her siblings pushed her away a little more when she published a book about the Umbrella Academy and the difficulty of growing up there when you have no power. She returns to Hargreeves Manor for her father's funeral and still finds herself very rejected by everyone except Allison who is trying to reconnect.

On the personal side of her life, Vanya didn't have a very exciting life until the day she met Leonard Peabody (real name Harold Jenkis). The latter will push her, without her suspecting anything, to make her powers blossom. We then discover a very powerful Vanya, capable of transforming sounds into lightning energy.

Everything lights up for the Umbrella Academy from then on. Allison recalls that their father had asked her to tell Vanya that she was just an ordinary girl to persuade her of this, and Sir Hargreeves had given Vanya medical treatment to fully curb her powers.

Manipulated by Leonard, Vanya becomes a real human bomb and will reduce to dust the Hargreeves mansion and the whole world ...

Funko proposes a POP of Number Seven, alias Vanya, in his violinist's outfit. She wears a black suit with a magpie tail jacket and a white shirt. She plays the violin and we can see on the POP that Vanya is already in a trans state since her eyes are completely white.

We recognize perfectly the shy girl on this POP, with her angelic face, her curly brown hair and her attitude full of doubt. Nevertheless, we can see that her power transforms her and the sounds coming out of the violin turn into a colossal energy.

Vanya's POP is a beautiful nod to the last episode of the first season of The Umbrella Academy, the day everything changed...
