If you think back to the beginning of the year, you might remember the horrors GameStop-exclusive Banjo-Kazooie Funko Pop. With his big head and soulless, hard eyes, the figure was… well, a Funko Pop, but it was also an acknowledgment that the Rare pair still existed, so we’ll take what we can get.
Now Funko has revealed more Banjo-Kazooie pop figure. Of course, all the horrific details are still present and accurate – seriously, what horrors have those eyes seen? — but, then again, it’s the new Banjo merch!
Unlike the GameStop exclusive, this upcoming Pop only features Banjo and Kazooie (no Jiggy or Jinjo here) in the iconic thumbs up pose. It also removes the background of the game’s cover that we saw on the GameStop version and has a smaller bezel to reflect this change.
Pop is listed on Funko website with a big old ‘Coming Soon’ flag, albeit a North American one Amazon pre-order page suggests that it will be published on August 14, 2024. As usual with Pop figures, this one will set you back $12.99 (or your regional equivalent), a welcome drop from GameStop’s $24.99 model.
Look, it’s a Pop character. You either rate them or you hate them. But it’s been so long since we last saw our lovely bear that it’s nice to know he’s still alive and well.
So…how about a new game, huh?
