Pop! Recreates Fallout and Skyrim Characters As Adorable Figurines
With yesterday marking Fallout 4’s official announcement, no time seems better than now to purchase a Bethesda figurine from Pop!. For those unfamiliar with Pop!, this branch of toy manufacturer Funko takes popular characters from television, movies, and games and re-imagines them as cute vinyl figures with big heads.
According to the company blog, Funko will release the Fallout figurines in July. The complete set includes enemies like the Super Mutant and Feral Ghoul alongside series mainstays like Vault Boy and the Lone Wanderer.
Those of you more interested in the Elder Scrolls series may be excited to learn that come August the company will also be releasing figurines from both Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Elder Scrolls Online. Despite Skyrim’s age—the massive RPG first arrived on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC in 2011—selling Elder Scrolls figurines is a smart business move. After all, who can resist buying an adorable Dovahkiin? We might as well rename him the Dovahkute.
In the past, Funko has worked with storied franchises like Assassin’s Creed and Diablo. The company most recently created a line of Evolve characters, which we wrote about here. For a complete catalog, head to Funko’s website.
