Announcement Coming Soon Event
Published on 28 January 2023 by Denis
The Funko Fair 2023 is rich in novelties and the superhero POPs are no exception. But for the occasion, Funko has seen things in a big way by unveiling three new "Comic Covers" figures, the POPs that present the superheroes (and sometimes super villains) posing in front of the covers of their eponymous comics.
For these 3 new POP Comic Covers, Funko takes us into the DC and Marvel universes with the Shazam POP to start. Of course, Funko also unveiled the POP of Shazam 2 which will be released in 2023, but this time it is the comic book in its version from the Justice League comic. By the way, did you know that Shazam was originally called Captain Marvel but that a conflict with Marvel forced DC to change the name... His "new" name is the acronym of legendary figures from which he gets his abilities: the wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the greatness of Atlas, the power of Zeus, the courage of Achilles and the speed of Mercury!
The second POP is from the Avengers comic book, which features the duo Hawkeye and Ant-Man. Naturally on this POP, Ant-Man's figure is so miniature that the superhero stands on Hawkeye's only arrow, which is certainly about to send him off.
Finally, the third and last POP Comic Covers featured for the Funko Fair 2023 is of one of the most famous X-Men: Wolverine. The POP is taken from the very first issue of the eponymous comic book (released in 1982) where we discover the mutant with his claws out and dressed in his yellow and red suit.
