Come on, grab your friends because Funko has a new collection of items for Adventure Time fans. The collectible giant is releasing a set of five new digital Pop! figures featuring some of Jake and Finn’s old friends, like BMO, Susan Strong, and Tree Trunks, as well as one of their greatest, inevitable foes – The Lich. Though the iconic human and dog duo don’t make an appearance themselves, Funko’s mascot Freddy and his dog Proto fill in for the occasion with costumes and a replica of Finn’s chipped and scratched golden sword of battle, making for a unique virtual collectible. Ahead of their release on the official Funko website, Collider can share an exclusive look at the new collectibles.
Digital Pop! figures are essentially Funko’s answer to digital trading cards, offering fans a chance to purchase packs filled with digital versions of the company’s stylized pop culture designs. These packs can include special Legendary and Grail editions that can be used to claim limited-edition physical collectibles. The five figures’ boxes are each marked with a sticker to show how they’re classified within the digital drop. BMO is the lone Grail Pop!, depicting the video game console-like robot dancing happily with his arms waving. Susan and Tree Trunks are both Legendary, meanwhile, with the former’s muscular form captured with a Funko edge and the latter holding a picnic basket on top of her in an homage to her first appearance.
The Lich’s appearance in this set is easily the most haunting. Instead of depicting his typical robed, skeletal form, the figure shows him wearing the corpse of Finn and Jake’s friend and idol Billy as a disguise to manipulate the two into doing his bidding. Matching the show, half of his face still shows his sunken eye and nose socket, capturing what makes the Ron Perlman-voiced sorcerer arguably Adventure Time‘s greatest villain. He’ll also be available as a Legendary drop with Freddy and Proto rounding out the set with the Royalty label.
What Does the Future Hold for ‘Adventure Time’?
Adventure Time has been off the air since 2018 after releasing ten seasons on Cartoon Network, but the franchise created by Pendleton Ward is still going strong. Two spinoffs have since been developed, including the limited series Distant Lands which debuted in 2020, and Fionna and Cake which debuted its first season in 2023 following the gender-swapped alternate universe variants of Finn and Jake. A second season of the latter is coming with more multiversal stories, but unfortunately, it’s not expected to hit Max until late 2025 at the earliest. The good news, however, is that Warner Bros. announced at the Annecy Animation Festival last year that two new spinoffs and a movie are in development, with Fionna and Cake helmer Adam Muto attached to the latter alongside Rebecca Sugar and Patrick McHale. Details on the movie are scarce, but one series will be a prequel following a young Finn while another for younger audiences will center on BMO, ensuring a long and adventurous future for the Land of Ooo.
The five new Adventure Time digital Funko Pop! figure drop will be available on the digital section of the official Funko website. Check out the new items in the gallery above. All episodes of the Cartoon Network series are available to stream on Max.
