Us…
There was a point in time when I collected Funko POP vinyl statues/figures. I didn’t have a ton but what I had, I displayed in my office at work back when I had to report to a physical workplace.
When I left that job, I sold off most of my collection knowing I had no place to display them at home nor would I in my new cubicle.
Nate is the POP collector now and has a ton. And there are several I had that he wishes I kept. But I digress.
Once in a great while, I’ll pick up a POP. It’s gotta be something really special, though. Maybe a favorite character or movie or athlete or just something with a really unique look.
This one might just constitute that “something really special.”
They nailed the look of Lupita Nyong’o from the poster for Jordan Peele’s Us.
Admittedly, Us was a weird movie. The first half was great and exactly what I wanted it to be. But that second half? That was bonkers and I never even came close to fathoming it as part of the plot.
But Lupita? Love her. She’s so good in this movie (and 12 Years a Slave and Quiet Place: Day One) and I’m a fan. So I kinda dig this POP for those reasons.
I still have a few Funko Pops here.
I really liked Quiet Place: Day One.
