Funko Pop! has come for world domination, making a miniature figure of almost everything that exists in the world. No seriously, if you can think of it, it exists as a Funko Pop! And now, Marilyn Manson will be joining the sainted halls of pop-figure collectibles, with his very own plastic figure.
In case you missed the trends, Funko is a pop culture licensed-focused company from America, which was originally a 1998 bobblehead company. And now they sell you your favourite things as collectibles.
Known for his dark imagery, counter-culture attitude, and general against-the-grain way of doing things, Marilyn Manson was a surefire bet to immortalise in adorable miniature form. The style on the figure was posted officially online by Funko, and showcases a figure that, much like Manson, goes against the usual expectations of what we’ve come to expect.
In August, Funko dropped the concept design for Marilyn Manson’s figurine. It was based on his Holy Wood-era. Check out the design below.

In recent Funko Pop! news, our favourite bands like Slipknot are getting figures as well.
The toy company made its latest series of announcements at the 2020 London Toy Fair and the metal giants are among the new additions to the Funko Pop! line, with the company unveiling the concept art on their Instagram account.
There is no official word yet on when the brand new set of dolls will be going on sale, but we’ll definitely be keeping an eye out on Funko’s social media accounts to get some more info.
For now, what we have to go off, are these amazing sets of photos that represent their brand new collection. It seems the theme is music, with a slight preference towards metal and rock. The brand are no strangers to putting out iconic musicians in figure form, with Marilyn Manson figures coming out not long ago featuring one of his most iconic looks.
