Horror fans are just five months away from Halloween. It’s never too early to prepare for the spooky fall months andFunkohas been using the month of May to slowly unveil the Pops that’ll be haunting store shelves before All Hallows Eve. This includes newAddams FamilyPops that’ll surely have any fan doing their best “Monster Mash”.
The latest wave ofAddams FamilyPops features four figures. This includesGomez Addamswith Pumpkin andWednesday Addams(Dancing). However, there are two ghoulish deluxe figures in this set that would even give Wednesday a devilish smile. This would beMorticia AddamsinChairand a Pop! Town ofUncle Festerwith the classicAddams Family Mansion. The latter two figures will be $29.99 USD. This isn’t the first time Funko has released Addams Family figures. They’ve done Pops for both the original TV series and the recent animated movies, but it was their set based on the NetflixWednesdayseries that was one of their most sought after collections. It was a long while after the series’ debut before you could readily find any Wednesday on store shelves. Given that these new figures are based on the character’s 60s designs, Funko will properly not have that same problem this time around.
WhileThe Addams Familyhas been a very well known pop culture staple for decades now, thanks to the original 60s TV show and 90s movies, the franchise has never reached the heights of other iconic family-friendly terrors of its time, likeScooby-Doo. There have been many attempts to revive this kooky family sinceAddams Family Valueswas released in 1993 with new TV shows and animated movies, but nothing ever struck a cord with audiences. That was untilWednesdaypremiered on Netflix in 2022. It was the perfect storm the franchise needed. Focusing on a slightly older Wednesday Addams as she’s shipped off to Nevermore Academy, the spin-off taped into what made horror’s first family so great while introducing afresh spin on the series for a whole new generation thanks to the star power ofJenna Ortegaand the gothic direction ofTim Burton. This has also given a second life toThe Addams Family’s merchandise which Funko has been at the center of.
WednesdaySeason 2 is currently filmingin Ireland for a release sometime in 2025 on Netflix. While horror fans wait for the new season, you can catch up on Season 1 (available now onBlu-ray/DVD) and pre-orderThe Addams FamilyFunko Pops onEntertainment Earth’s website. The originalAddams Familyseries is also streaming for free on PlutoTV.
