Still with us? We expect that the first proper trailer for Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire isn’t far off, and it will touch on a lot of what is revealed in this wave of Funko Pops. But, for now. you’re among the first to know that the new villain is named Garraka. The character has a pretty standard demon-like appearance that you can check out in the image below. The Funko Pop wave also introduces us to a ghost name Pukey, which probably tells you everything you need to know.ย
Other interesting details to note in this wave include the glow-in-the dark golden orb that the Ray Stantz Funko Pop is holding as well as the return of Mini Pufts. Rounding out the wave is Grooberson and Phoebe.

What is Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire About?
Frozen Empireย has been described as a clean slate for the franchise, allowing them to move forward in a wayย Afterlifeย couldn’t, because they had to address both the long absence of the Ghostbusters in-universe, and also the passing of Egon Spengler, whose family is a key part of the new generation of Ghostbusters.
Inย Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, the Spengler family returns to where it all started โ the iconic New York City firehouse โ to team up with the original Ghostbusters, who’ve developed a top-secret research lab to take busting ghosts to the next level. But when the discovery of an ancient artifact unleashes an evil force, Ghostbusters new and old must join forces to protect their home and save the world from a second Ice Age.ย
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empireย starsย Paul Rudd, Carrie Coon,ย Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, Logan Kim, Kumail Nanjiani, Patton Oswalt, Celeste O’Connor,ย Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson,ย Bill Murray, Annie Potts, James Acaster, and Emily Alyn Lind. The film is scheduled to release in theaters on March 29, 2024.
