The Peacemaker Funko Pop wave includes Peacemaker with Eagly, Eagly clutching an American Flag, Vigilante with a chainsaw, Judomaster in a fighting pose, and, of course Peacemaker in his tighy-whities (a must-have). Note that a flocked (fuzzy) version of Eagly will be available as an Amazon exclusive. Pre-orders for these figures are expected to launch between 11:30am EST and 12pm EST todayย here at Entertainment Earth, here on Amazon, and here at GameStop. You can take a look at the Funko Pops in the Peacemaker wave in the gallery below.
Peacemakerย debuted on HBO Max in January andย was a hit among critics and fans alike. The new DCEU series is a follow-up to Gunn’sย The Suicide Squad, which was released last year.ย Peacemakerย sees Cena’s character joining forces with a new team to take down an alien species dubbed “butterflies.” Currently,ย Peacemakerย is up onย Rotten Tomatoesย with a 95% critics score, which means it’s officiallyย the highest-reviewed project in the entire DCEU.ย ComicBook.com‘s own Jenna Andersonย gave the series a 4 out of 5ย and called it an “action-packed, profane, and bizarre story that perfectly suits its protagonists.” ย
“That’s right, #Peacemaker is coming back for Season Two. Thanks to Peter Safran, @JohnCena, our incredible cast & crew, our wildly supportive & lovely friends at @hbomax โ and mostly all of you for watching! @DCpeacemaker,” Gunn wrote on Twitter after the second season was announced.
The timing for The Peacemaker Funko Pops feels a bit late as the eight episode run for the first season wrapped up in February. However, the UK streaming date is coming up later this month, so if you average a bit late with a bit early you end up with right on time.ย
