Vinyl action figure brand Funko has taken a look at a new manga/anime and has just unveiled the very first POPs from Haikyū!!!
Haikyū!! has been winning over fans around the world since it first aired in 2014. The story follows the journey of Shōyō Hinata, a young high school student with a passion for volleyball, who decides to take up the sport despite his small stature. Hinata dreams of following in the footsteps of his idol, a legendary player nicknamed "The Little Giant."
The story revolves around the Karasuno school volleyball team and its members who seek to recapture their former glory. Hinata joins the team and teams up with Tobio Kageyama, a talented but arrogant player, to form a formidable pair. Together they strive to overcome their limitations and become the best volleyball players in the country.

The characters are well developed, each with unique personalities and stories. Dealing with important themes such as perseverance, friendship, and rivalry, Haikyū!!! explores the emotional struggles that players may face while on the court but also off...
