Turns out they’re getting into sports as well: later this fall, Funko is releasing several NHL POPs, including Jamie Benn of the Dallas Stars, Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins, Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews of the Chicago Blackhawks, Morgan Rielly of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Carey Price of the Montreal Canadiens, Steven Stamkos of the Tampa Bay Lightning, Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers, and our personal favorites, Henrik Lundqvist of the New York Rangers and Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals — they even got the hair right!
