It seems crazy to me that Spirit Halloween stores are apparently having great success selling merchandise related to the 1988 cult classic Killer Klowns from Outer Space (watch it HERE), and yet we still haven’t heard that the long-awaited sequel has been given a greenlight. But while we continue to wait for that sequel (and look forward to the video game), Spirit Halloween has now announced that they’ve teamed up with Funko to create a limited edition Funko POP! that will only be available in select Spirit stores and on the Spirit website. This figure, which is being produced to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Killer Klowns from Outer Space, “brings to life the iconic scene where Bibbo and Shorty pop out of a pizza box and zap an unsuspecting victim with their cotton candy gun.”
The figure is called the Killer Klowns Movie Moment Funko. Standing at 6.4″ inches tall, it’s going for the price of $39.99. An image of this Funko POP! can be seen at the bottom of this article.
Here’s the description from the Spirit website: Did someone place an order for delivery? Unfortunately for you, the Killer Klowns are delivering a deadly cotton candy surprise this Halloween! Any Killer Klowns from Outer Space fan will instantly be able to recognize what scene this Bibbo with Shorty in Pizza Box Movie Moment Funko POP! Figure is from. This awesome Funko POP! Figure features Bibbo the Klown along with Shorty popping out of a pizza box and zapping an unsuspecting victim with their cotton candy gun.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space was directed by Stephen Chiodo from a screenplay he wrote with his brother Charles Chiodo. Stephen and Charles also produced the film with their other brother, Edward Chiodo. It has the following synopsis: When teenagers Mike and Debbie see a comet crash outside their sleepy small town, they investigate and discover a pack of murderous aliens who look very much like circus clowns. They try to warn the local authorities, but everyone assumes their story is a prank. Meanwhile, the clowns set about harvesting and eating as many people as they can. It’s not until they kidnap Debbie that Mike decides it’s up to him to stop the clowns’ bloody rampage.
Grant Cramer, Suzanne Snyder, John Allen Nelson, Royal Dano, John Vernon, Michael S. Siegel, Peter Licassi, and Christopher Titus star.
