Funko is excited to announce a new licensing agreement with Wizards
of the Coast, Inc., a subsidiary of Hasbro, Inc. (NYSE: HAS) to produce
Magic: The Gathering Planeswalker figures for their popular Pop! Vinyl
Figures and new Legacy Collection Action Figures lines.
“We
are deeply honored and very excited that Wizards of the Coast chose
Funko as a partner to develop truly cool collectibles for Magic: The
Gathering. I know the fans of Magic have been waiting nearly 20 years to
get their hands on some fantastic Action Figures and stylized Vinyl
figures. I promise that we won’t disappoint them!” said Brian Mariotti,
CEO of Funko.
The first series of Pop! Vinyl figures, set
to release in April, will feature iconic Magic: The Gathering
Planeswalkers Jace Beleren, Garruk Wildspeaker, Chandra Nalaar, Liliana
Vess, Ajani Goldmane and Nissa Revane. Funko Pop! Vinyl figures are 3.75
inch tall super stylized vinyl figures. With over 10 Million sold since
2010, it is the world’s largest line of collectable stylized vinyl in
the world.
Funko is also excited to announce that we have
teamed up with talented sculptors at Gentle Giant to create Funko’s new
Legacy Collection line of 6 inch, deluxe action figures featuring 20+
points of articulation and removable accessories for ages 14+. Set to
release in August, the Magic: The Gathering Planeswalkers will be among
the first Legacy Collection figures released, and you can expect the
same iconic Planeswalkers as those released in Pop! Vinyl.
“We
are excited to bring the world’s best strategy game to life with these
figures,” said Elaine Chase, Brand Director for Magic: The Gathering at
Wizards of the Coast. “Funko has been a great partner, and we’re looking
forward to giving players yet another way to enjoy Magic: The
Gathering.”
