Flood of Squid Game Funko POP

It's the Netflix series that is a hit and that makes schoolyards shake! Straight from South Korea, Squid Game is a series in 9 episodes that features people with high debts who agree to participate in a survival game (real) to win a jackpot of 45.6 billion won ...

In total, 456 candidates are enrolled in this mysterious competition. If some games are worthy of children's games, the outcome is always fatal. It is this contrast of "child's play" and ultra violence that is particularly brutal. Adding to the mystery, the competition is organized by a sinister organization whose members wear red suits and black masks with geometric shapes (triangle, circle, square).

Behind this violence, the plot, which mixes satire and melodrama, is also an allegory, using its themes and characters to show the impact of capitalism on modern society... This clever mix is in any case a guarantee of success since Squid Game had the best launch of all the series on Netflix and is currently ranked as the most viewed series in over 90 countries!

In total, there are 8 POP figures that Funko has unveiled for the very first POP of Squid Game. There are 5 of the main characters and also 3 figures of the red soldiers. On the side of the "popified" characters :

  • Abdul Ali (number 199) fled Pakistan with his wife and son. As a refugee in South Korea, he was scammed by a crooked employer who exploited him without paying him.
  • Seong Gi-hun (number 456) is a character who appears from the first episode "One, Two, Three, Sun", he is kind and empathetic. His manipulation to win against Oh Il-nam becomes a real psychological torture for him, feeling responsible for the death of the old man...
  • Oh Il-nam (number 001) is the creator of the Squid Game, suffering from a brain tumor and knowing that he is doomed, he decided to participate in it as well.
  • Kang Sae-byeok (number 067) is a young woman who fled North Korea. Without money, she lives by stealing and participates in the Squid Game to try to gather her family and protect them.
  • Cho Sang-woo (number 218) is a smart man who lost everything by embezzling money from his former company. Ruined and in debt, he has only one goal: to make it up with Squid Game. To do this, he is ruthless and ready to sacrifice anyone to win...
