Funko Unveils Dark Tower POPs
Out of all of the announcements made today by Funko at the NY Toy Fair, one is sure to excite literary fans.
Funko unveiled two pop figurines to coincide with the upcoming film version of Stephen King's The Dark Tower.
The dark fantasy western story was published across eight different novels between 1998 and 2004. The series follows Roland Deschain, known as the Gunslinger, and his journey through a dramatically-changing universe. After years of waiting, a film adaptation will finally be released on July 28th, 2017.
Funko will make two pops based on the film, one of the Gunslinger (played by Idris Elba), and of his antagonist, the Man in Black (played by Matthew McConaughey).
There is no word as to when these pops will hit shelves, but it's safe to assume it will be a month or two before the film's release. Whether you're a hardcore fan of the book series, or you're just excited for the film, you should definitely be on the lookout for these pops.

"The Dark Tower series tells the story of Roland Deschain, Mid-World's last gunslinger, who is traveling southeast across Mid-World's post-apocalyptic landscape, searching for the powerful but elusive magical edifice known as The Dark Tower. Located in the fey region of End-World, amid a sea of singing red roses, the Dark Tower is the nexus point of the time-space continuum. It is the heart of all worlds, but it is also under threat. Someone, or something, is using the evil technology of the Great Old Ones to destroy it."
The film stars Idris Elba (Pacific Rim, Thor: The Dark World) stars as Roland Deschain and Matthew McConaughey (Dallas Buyers Club, Interstellar) as the Man in Black. The cast also includes Kathryn Winnick (Vikings), Fran Kranz (Cabin in the Woods), Abbey Lee Kershaw (Mad Max: Fury Road), Claudia Kim (Avengers: Age of Ultron), Tom Taylor (Legends), and Jackie Earle Haley (Watchmen, Preacher).
