Funko honors doctors and nurses on COVID-19 frontlines with Pop! figures

Funko, the company best known for its vinyl figurines with big heads and button eyes, would like to honor first responders in its own way, too.

Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
