POP Vanya (Chase) (Umbrella Academy)

Vanya, alias Number Seven, is one of the children of the Umbrella Academy. In fact, Vanya is a member of the Hargreeves family, but not of the Umbrella Academy because, unlike her siblings, she has no power, or at least she is convinced she has no power?

The Umbrella Academy is the Netflix series in which Sir Reginald Hargreeves adopts seven children. They were born on the same day when their mothers weren't pregnant a few minutes earlier, and they all have super powers. Sir Hargreeves' ambition is to create a team of superheroes to protect the world. He raises and coaches children with a sense of responsibility and strict discipline to the point that they all hate this adoptive father. Of the seven children, Vanya happens to be the only one without special gifts, but in reality it was her father who, fearing the power of the girl, hid them from her.

Vanya's childhood was very complex, constantly put aside, devalued as ordinary, little considered by her father and siblings, Vanya always felt like the ugly duckling, like the one who didn't belong. After leaving Hargreeves Manor, Vanya wrote a book telling her story, describing the difficulty of being ordinary in the midst of extraordinary people and revealing some family secrets about the Umbrella Academy in the process. Her book will make her even more outcast by her siblings, including Diego who considers her a traitor.

When Sir Hargreeves died, Vanya also returned to the Umbrella Academy. Tensions are still high but Allison tries to get closer to her and create the sisterly relationship they never really had. Nevertheless, everything is shattered when Number Five reappears and announces to the others that the Apocalypse is scheduled for eight days from now without suspecting for a moment how much this event is linked to Vanya...

Funko proposes an exceptional POP Chase by Vanya, directly from the very last episode of the first season of The Umbrella Academy. This is the key scene, the one where Vanya plays the violin during the concert and where her powers transform sounds into an immensely powerful energy. Number Seven, the one who never had powers, turns out to be a real human bomb...

On this POP Chase, Vanya is almost entirely white, his powers have transformed him into a second state. We find his magpie tail costume (as on the original version of this figurine), but his costume is now very pure white as if it was made of light. Her long hair is blue and her skin takes on a color that makes her very ghostly!

Funko has extremely well realized the details of Vanya's POP since her violin is not yet fully covered with white. We can still guess the wood of the instrument and we can see that the end of Vanya's neck is also changing colors.

Finally, on this figurine, Vanya's eyes are completely white, a sign that she is under the uncontrollable influence of her power!
