Is Another Eddie Munson Funko in the Works?

Is Another Eddie Munson Funko in the Works?

Funko Pop Vinyl figures have become an incredibly popular collectible among fans of movies, TV shows, video games, and pop culture in general. One of the most highly sought after Pop Vinyl figures in recent times has been the Eddie Munson figure from the hit Netflix show "Stranger Things." With its limited release, many fans are left wondering if Funko will make another Eddie Munson Pop Vinyl figure. In this article, we'll take a closer look at the situation and see what the chances are of getting a second chance at this highly sought after collectible.

The first Eddie Munson Funko Pop Vinyl, a 4" Pop! figure exclusive to Target in the US, was released in mid-2022 and quickly sold out, leaving many fans disappointed. The figure became a hot commodity, with many resellers offering it for significantly higher prices than its original retail price. This created a sense of frustration among fans who were unable to get their hands on one.

Since then, Funko have released a Pop! Moment featuring Eddie and Dustin fighting off Demobats, one of the most iconic scenes from the last season. Not as popular as the first release, this was still a hit with collectors, although it's currently still available for pre-order from most retailers for $119.99 AUD. The 4" standalone Eddie that's been so popular has still been trickling out in a few releases, but only for collectors who were lucky enough to get their orders in while sites like Ozzie Collectables were still taking pre-orders.

So, will Funko make another Eddie Munson Pop Vinyl figure? At this time, there is no official word from Funko on whether or not they will be producing another run of the figure. However, Funko has been known to release variants of popular figures, which means that there is a possibility of a new Eddie Munson figure being released in the future.

It's also worth noting that Funko regularly releases figures based on new seasons of popular TV shows, so if "Stranger Things" continues to be a hit with viewers, especially with its last season around the corner, it's possible that a new Eddie Munson figure could be released to coincide with the show's next season. This is an especially compelling possibility if you're a believer in a few popular fan theories floating around regarding Eddie's fate, which seemed pretty clear at the end of season four... or did it?

Another factor to consider is the popularity of Stranger Things among Funko collectors. The show has a dedicated fan following, and Funko may be interested in releasing more figures based on the show's characters to capitalize on that popularity. If there is enough demand for a new Eddie Munson figure, Funko may be more likely to produce one.

In conclusion, while there is no official word on whether or not Funko will be making another Eddie Munson Pop Vinyl figure, there is still hope for fans who missed out on the initial release. Keep an eye out for new releases and stay tuned to Ozzie's social media channels for any announcements about a new Eddie Munson figure.
