Move it, football head! Relax, Helga, Funko Pop Hey Arnold has enough vinyl style for everyone. The throwback set offers the Nickelodeon frenemies, or rather under-the-radar couple, well, we mean...you know, Arnold and Helga.
Like most kids from the '90s, the Arnold figure is dressed in blue jeans, a (very small) baseball hat, and tennis shoes. Additionally, with his arms crossed, a teal sweater rests at his waist and the orange dress shirt is so long it reaches the top of Arnold's knees. Admittedly, his head is not quite football-shaped, but it's otherwise a very good Pop! likeness for Arnold.
Meanwhile, with a pink bow between her pigtails, and an impressive unibrow below, Helga rocks a white t-shirt under a pink dress. The feisty blonde stands with clenched fists ready to bully Arnold—even though we all know she secretly loves him.
Later releases include Arnold's best friend, Gerald Johanssen, plus GameStop-exclusives that dress Arnold as a banana and Gerald as a strawberry.
Premiering in 1996, Nickelodeon's Hey Arnold! aired for five seasons (100 episodes), plus the franchise produced two movies, As a result, the cartoon series accumulated a large fanbase, many of whom remain loyal as adults.
