The popular vinyl company Funko has drawn much inspiration from the Star Wars universe, bringing an ever-growing list of its characters to life in their different product lines. And now, the company is bringing the world of Star Wars into their newest line - with rather awesome results.
Funko has unveiled the first look at their Darth Vader in TIE Fighter Pop! Deluxe figure. Check out the photo below:
As the name suggests, the figure shows Star Wars' most recognizable villain on board a miniature version of his TIE Fighter, recreating the iconic scene from Star Wars: A New Hope.
The Pop! Deluxe line is relatively new for Funko, with much of its outputs being either convention or subscription box exclusves. This Vader figure joins the previous Star Wars Pop! Deluxes, the Star Wars Celebration exclusive Rey with Speeder figure, as well as the Smuggler's Bounty exclusive Luke Skywalker with Speeder figure. It turns out, the Vader Pop! Deluxe will be an exclusive in its own right - as it will only be available in Target stores.
If you're looking to score this Pop! Deluxe for yourself, Funko says that the figure will be available on store shelves in mid-June.
