Nearly four years since the last wave of Star Trek characters made their way into the wildly-popular line of Funko POP! vinyl collectible figures, the company announced today that the leads of Star Trek: Discovery will make their way into the four-inch product line.
As part of a wave of announcements from the London Toy Fair, Funko today revealed their first images of a pair of Star Trek: Discovery character POP! figures: Commander Michael Burnham (in sciences silver) and Commander Saru (in command gold), as seen in Star Trek: Discovery Season 2.
These are still pre-production graphics, and as noted on the image, they are subject to change before their final release — notably, Saru’s uniform reads much too yellow in this graphic compared to the real Starfleet uniform worn by actor Doug Jones, which is lined in metallic gold.
At present, only the Burnham and Saru figures have been announced by the company. We first heard word of their impending release a few weeks ago, and as of yet there’s been no indication that other characters from Discovery are currently being planned for the POP! line — but of course, if that changes, we’ll let you know.
The last round of Star Trek Funko POP! figures were released in 2016 in conjunction with Star Trek Beyond, and that line of 11 products included the main film cast, along with a pair of variant Captain Kirk and Ensign Chekov figures exclusive to various retailers.
Once we have more images of the final product, as well as more information on the release date of these Discovery character figures (some retailers are listing a June 2020 target date on preorders currently), we’ll make sure you hear about it!
