Over a hundred new POP figures for Funkoween 2022

This year again, Funko starts the Halloween celebrations in the middle of May. It's certainly surprising when we have more head for the beach than for horror movies, but for our greatest pleasure, the Funkoween is always the occasion to fill up with novelties.

More than a hundred new figures for this Funkoween 2022

The event was held online from May 17 to 19, 2022, three days during which Funko unveiled no less than a hundred new POP figures "special Halloween". Many collections are of course concerned, and we can mainly divide the announcements into two themes:

• Those that are horror-themed or delve into slightly darker subjects (horror movies, great Halloween classics, etc.)

Among all the announcements of the Funkoween 2022, it seems that the big winner is on the side of POP Animation with many licenses: Jujutsu Kaisen, Hunter x Hunter or Attack of the Titans SNK.

Let's go to the Disney / Pixar studios with some very nice surprises for this Funkoween 2022 :

Each of these characters is featured in a train car (Maleficent is in the locomotive), and the POPs can link together to complete the train.
• A POP of the Sanderson Sisters (Hocus Pocus) presented on a common base;
• Is it possible for Funko to celebrate Halloween without unveiling new POPs of The Nightmare before Christmas? No! and here are 11 new POPs that are Blacklight versions - POPs that fluoresce under black light - of already existing figures. We find all the main characters from Jack to Sally through the dog Zero or the Mayor and Oogie Boogie. Note: Funko has also unveiled a special Halloween advent calendar of The Nightmare before Christmas with 13 boxes to wait!
