Out of nowhere, Funko dropped a series of pop figures today that are based on the classic Speed Racer anime (which is also known as Mach GoGoGo in Japan). The lineup includes Racer X and Speed Racer, though you’ll have a 1-in-6 chance to get the Speed Racer Chase variant that appears to refer to the “he’s a demon on wheels” line from the original theme song. However, the crown jewel of this wave is, without a doubt, the Mach 5 Pop Ride.
