If you would have told me that, when I’d taken this job, I’d be writing so many articles about upcoming Funko Pop! Figure releases, I would have never believed you. I love this stuff. As I’ve mentioned in previous articles, my wife and I own a combined total of nearly 200 of these things, and we just rented a 3 story house in which to display even more of them! Mwuahaha!
Yesterday, Funko announced via their official Twitter page that the uber-popular toy company will release a dual line of figurines based on the characters from David Lynch’s TWIN PEAKS. The figures include: Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan), Audrey Horne (Sherilyn Fenn), The Log Lady (Catherine E. Coulson), Leland Palmer (Ray Wise), Bob (Frank Silva), and the delightfully morbid plastic-wrapped corpse of Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee). Adding to the fun, Funko will also release action-figure-style versions of the Dale Cooper, The Log Lady, Bob, and Laura Palmer characters.
Although a release date for these figures has yet to be announced (though you can no doubt expect them to hit shelves some time in 2017), fans can still catch the TWIN PEAKS limited series revival when it airs on Showtime beginning on May 21, 2017.
In the mean time, never forget that the owls are not what they seem.
