The artist Banksy sees his works popified by Funko

Announcement Coming Soon Event

Published on 27 January 2023 by Lola

Among the announcements unveiled for the Funko Fair 2023, Funko has announced a new type of POP. A little further away from the superhero, Star Wars or even Disney universes, these new POPs are perfectly in line with the brand's philosophy by immersing themselves a little more in the "POP culture".

These new POPs, named "POP Art Covers", immerse us in urban art and more particularly in the works of the mysterious Banksy since the first two POPs are figurine "reproductions" of his famous works: Tagging Robot and Flying Balloon Girl.

The provocative and committed art of Banksy is particularly respected by Funko since the first two POPs of the set "Brandalised" are very beautiful representations of the graffiti made by the artist with a realization of the small characters in figurine, presented in the decor resuming the wall on which Banksy made his tag.

For the girl with the flying balloons, Funko has opted for a representation of the little girl taking off with a transparent base. The figurine is completely black, respecting the codes of the original graffiti. As for the "Tagging Robot" work, Funko opted for a grey POP faithfully representing the robot with his anxious face holding in his hand the can of paint with which he has just tagged a barcode on the wall.

In both cases, the POPs are standard size, but like the "POP Movie Posters", they are offered in a very large box as the POP is presented in front of a large background featuring it.

Maybe Funko will surprise us soon with Banksy's self-destructed work in the coming weeks? We hope so!
