Junji Ito-inspired Funko Pops officially released!

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

A couple days ago we reported that Funko Pop has designed some grotesque and horrifying figurines, in the style of popular horror manga artist Junji Ito! This included Souichi Tsujii, Tomie Kawakami, Fuchi and Slug Girl! Now they've been offiical announced by Funko and Crunchyroll (which you can see at the bottom of the article), and even includes Cursed Hideo (though he's only available exclusively at Books-a-Million). 

Meanwhile, you can buy these figurines at Hot Topic and the aforementioned Books-a-Million while supplies last!  

So what do you guys think? Fans of Junji Ito's work? If so, how do you feel about them being "Funko Pop"-ified? Either way, sound off below!
