Announcement Coming Soon
Published on 27 January 2024 by Denis
Welcome to South Park, the small mountain town in Colorado, with brand-new POP figures from the series. With this latest announcement, Funko has further strengthened its collection of South Park POP figures, and we've just passed the fifty mark!
Of course, the potential is infinite: with 26 seasons (so far), dozens of characters and, above all, the countless funny situations in which the characters find themselves, Funko only has to dip into each episode to find inspiration...
6 new South Park Funko POPs with all-new characters
South Park debuted in 1997 as an animated series with a simple, distinctive aesthetic, featuring four kids - Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick - navigating the oddities of their everyday lives.
The series quickly gained notoriety for its corrosive humor, memorable characters and deliberately provocative approach. As the seasons progress, new characters are introduced, be they teachers, locals or family members of the small group of children. The potential is therefore endless, and Funko is now presenting us with brand-new POPs!
For this announcement, we're featuring 6 characters that Funko hasn't offered before, but whose presence in the series is nothing short of exceptional.
Let's start with Timmy's POP and Gobbles, the little troupe's wheelchair-bound classmate and disabled turkey. The two are ready to take to the stage to perform the Thanksgiving play!
Wonder Tweek, Tweek Tweak's alter ego, also joins the set with his blond hair, "WT" logo T-shirt and headband bearing his name. POP is very faithful to the "superhero".
Stan's father, Randy Marsh, makes his appearance in his farmer's clothes. As he seeks a simple life full of integrity, this POP features Randy in his checkered shirt, straw hat and torn pants.
A nice surprise (for the second time) is a POP of the Cafeteria Chef, known for his advice to the four boys in the band, but also for his passion for singing... For this POP, the chef is dressed in a tuxedo for a special occasion!
This is a first for this character, as Funko has unveiled a POP of Satan. A POP in the size of the master of Hell with a 15cm Supersized POP where we discover the diabolical-looking character with his regar and yellow horns.
Let's finish with the POP of Mr. Mackey (#1476), the unassuming guidance counselor faithfully depicted in his green shirt, blue pants and tie. In a nod to the series and the character, Mr. Mackey holds in his hand the little chalkboard sign with the inscription "Drugs are Bad"!
The most incisive series of recent decades?
At the heart of "South Park"'s identity lies its ability to tackle the most sensitive subjects in an incisive way. Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have no qualms about ridiculing politics, religion, celebrity and everything else that lies at the heart of American culture. It's this cheeky audacity that has earned "South Park" its unique and controversial reputation.
The adventures of Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny are punctuated by absurd situations, foul language and acerbic social criticism. The series uses black humor to point out the hypocrisies and absurdities of contemporary society, while mercilessly mocking everything and everyone, without distinction.
One of the most remarkable aspects of "South Park" is its ability to react quickly to current events. The creators often produce episodes in just a few days, allowing the series to remain incredibly relevant and tackle the most recent events with ferocious satire.
Over the seasons, "South Park" has evolved while maintaining its bite. From absurdist humor to memorable musical parodies, the series continues to push the boundaries of political correctness and provoke thought on hot-button topics, while retaining its signature visual style.
