For 90’s kids everywhere, the return of the movie The Lion King is an epic feeling. Mostly only remembering the death of a certain character, everyone is still excited to see what the live action has in store. Funko too, remembers that their fans hold a special place in their heart for the little fur ball and his friends so they’re releasing one of the most original Lion King collections to date.
Bringing back some of the main characters, Funko is releasing 6 pop from the original Lion King. Even though the set is the next line in Lion King pops, these take us all back to the original characters, you know, before all of the sequels. This release will have Mufasa and Simba eating a grub of course, but now we can all look for Pumba, Timon in his classic Hawaiian dress and Zazu. Last but not least is Nala, Simba’s childhood friend and love interest.
All of these look like they came straight out of the first movie. Simba eating the grub, or disgustingly not wanting to eat it, looks like he jumped straight out of that movie moment. Since right it’s such a new announcement, no one is sure of what the release date will be for this set. As for a chase of any of these figures, no new has been released either. So, keep your eyes peeled. Some of these may end up being exclusive to certain stores, but it’s Lion King so we need them all, ok?
