The new POP is just as adorable as Pom Klementieff’s portrayal in the film, with her antennae and confident pose. Funko’s sculpts continue to get better as well, with little wrinkles in the pants and boots, in addition to the glossy paint on the costume.

Director James Gunn described the relationship between Mantis and the rest of the team, saying “I think the relationship between her and Drax is very interesting because they’re both complete oddballs,” Gunn says. “It’s more of a relationship to the group as a whole, but I think she relates a little bit more to Gamora and Drax then she does to Peter.”
Set to the backdrop of ‘Awesome Mixtape #2,’ Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 continues the team’s adventures as they traverse the outer reaches of the cosmos. The Guardians must fight to keep their newfound family together as they unravel the mysteries of Peter Quill’s true parentage.
