Discover the Echo figures
Marvel's Echo mini-series was released in January 2024. Following in the footsteps of the Hawkeye and Daredevil series, it focuses on young Maya Lopez, aka "Echo". A special feature of this superheroine is that she is a leg amputee and deaf, so the series includes many scenes in sign language.
Echo recounts the tormented history of young Maya, divided into two parallel stories: Maya's story of following in the footsteps of her "uncle" the Kingpin, a major New York criminal, and the story of her Native American origins and the Choctaw nation from which she is descended.
The series traces Maya's complex journey through the death of her mother, the separation from her family, the influence of the Kingpin on her, and her struggle to free herself from him. In 5 episodes of around 40 minutes, the series has been fully unveiled in binge-watching mode on Disney+ and invites two other superheroes to the screen for sneak peeks: Matt Murdock aka Daredevil and Clint Barton aka Hawkeye.
Following in the footsteps of the Marvel mini-series, Funko is dedicating a number of POP figurines to characters from the series. These include the power duo behind the series' plot: Maya in her Choctaw warrior costume, and the Kingpin (Wilson Fisk) with his imposing build and shaved head.
Note: the Echo series is Marvel's very first under the "Spotlight" signature, which promises darker, more grounded series. This is certainly the case with Echo, where the big bads don't come from other planets, and where the super-natural is replaced by the spiritual, notably with the contribution of Choctaw culture.
