It’s safe to say that few collectible companies have a popularity quite like Funko. While the company was founded in 1998, it has risen in prominence in recent years, thanks to its highly-stylized lines of vinyl figures.

Funko’s reach in the pop culture landscape has grown in years since, with the company making figures for properties such as Marvel, DC, Star Wars, and countless more. With Funko essentially having a Pop! Vinyl figure for everybody, they’ve taken it a step further with their newest service, Pop! Yourself.

The online feature allows Funko fans to customize a big-headed Pop! Vinyl version of themselves. The site offers a series of customizable features – including body types, skin tones, hairstyles, and outfits – with the promise to add more in the future. The function then lets you save your customized digital Pop! Vinyl as an avatar to share across social media.

According to Funko, the site is set up to let fans’ creativity run wild when it comes to designing digital Pop! figures. Users can create as many digital figures as they want, for “your alter ego, your inner child, your evil twinโ€”whatever you’re in the mood for!”

The full press release from Funko is below:

“Pop! Yourself allows you to create a digital avatar that represents your online profile across all of Funko’s digital experiences โ€“ our website, apps, and other new features still on the way. With Pop! Yourself, you can choose over 1 million unique combinations of hair, eyebrows, apparel, and accessories to create your virtual self in Pop! form. We will be adding new items on a regular basis so you can always keep your avatar current with a fresh, new look. Most of all, it’s just fun to see what you’d look like as a Pop!

Additionally, once you have created your new user profile, we will then seamlessly merge all of your previous profiles from any of our subscription sites into your new profile over the next six months. No need to remember multiple usernames and passwords anymore โ€“ your entire Funko experience will now be tied to a single Funko profile.”

Unfortunately, the Pop! Yourself feature doesn’t actually create a physical version of your custom figure. But nevertheless, the site is sure to be a hit amongst casual collectors and Funko superfans alike.
