There are solely 4 issues which are inevitable on this life: demise, taxes, an annual Name of Obligation launch, and if you happen to love one thing, somebody at Funko is gonna make a hideous Pop determine of it. Nothing is protected from the clutches of mass-produced figures, and meaning 2023’s Precise Sport of the Yr Baldur’s Gate 3 is getting its first Funko Pops later this 12 months.
Proper now, solely three of the Dungeons & Dragons RPG’s companions have figures, however Shadowheart, Karlach, and Astarion followers can pre-order the chibi little statues earlier than they’re formally launched on December 16. Despite the fact that I’m not large on the look of Funko Pops sanding down each artwork fashion and character design right into a uniform look, there are some cute particulars in all three figures. Shadowheart carries the Mysterious Artefact she stole from the Githyanki earlier than the occasions of Baldur’s Gate 3 and Karlach wields an axe and comes bundled with just a little determine of her teddy bear Clive that you will discover at camp if you happen to recruit her. Astarion is the place issues get just a little fascinating, because the vampire can both wield a dagger or has a one-in-six likelihood of holding the Necromancy of Thay tome. It’s like a cube roll. It’s meta. Both method, he has purple eyes as an alternative of the standard black ones most Funko Pops have, which is a cute contact.
I make jokes, however Funko Pops are at the very least an reasonably priced different to the costly premium statues which are so typically launched as tie-ins to main video games. I generally is a hater, I’ve received a couple of of these beady-eyed little fuckers on my cabinets at dwelling. As I write this I can see Ryuji Sakamoto from Persona 5 in all his chibi glory from my desk. I’m a mark first, a hater second. So if you happen to’re fascinated about an affordable tchotchke of your Baldur’s Gate 3 fave, click on by way of to see extra. Possibly if sufficient individuals purchase these they’ll additionally make Gale and I’ll should eat crow.
