Product Details
Looking behind the lens, Funko Pop Director covers various cinematic visionaries. While much of the vinyl world is geared to the end-product of movies and television, the Pop! directors set celebrates the subjects who helped put those franchises together.Largely housed under the Pop! Movies brand, Funko Pop Director actually began with several limited-edition figures. This includes Paul Feig, director of Bridesmaids and Ghostbusters (2016), with only 200 figures as part of his FunkoShop exclusive in 2016. That number gradually increased with several other modern directors, like James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy), James Wan (Saw), and Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok).
Standard Funko Pop Director releases came in 2018 with Breaking Bad's Vince Gilligan, and Guillermo del Toro, who is well-known for films such as Hellboy, Pan's Labyrinth, and The Shape of Water. Directing legend Alfred Hitchcock also joined the set in a black-and-white version. Hopefully, extra room is made for a Hitchcock figure in Funko Pop Icons, as well.
J.J. Abrams is another addition and it might be easier to just list what Abrams has not been involved in during his career. The acclaimed director and creator is best known for Alias, Lost, Star Trek (2009) and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
And, although they are not officially part of the Funko Pop Director line, it only seemed right to include the multi-packs for The Duffer Brothers (Stranger Things) and The Creators (Game of Thrones).
