Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire will pit the titular Titans against new threat in the Hollow Earth known as Skar King. Recently, Funko launched a wave of Funko Pops inspired by the upcoming film, but the star of the show was definitely the sleeping Godzilla Funko Pop, which you can still pre-order here on Amazon as an exclusive. It's set to arrive on your doorstep on March 11th if you grab it in time for the launch. 

As for the rest of the Godzilla x Kong Funko Pop collection, it includes new Titan callled Shimo, which appears to be an ally of Skar King with ice-based powers.
