Coming Soon: “Vinyl Idolz” Pop Culture Figures by Vinyl Sugar (Funko x A Large Evil Corporation)

Coming Soon: “Vinyl Idolz” Pop Culture Figures by Vinyl Sugar (Funko x A Large Evil Corporation)

The Blot can’t even put into words how excited I got when news broke that Funko would be teaming with A Large Evil Corporation to produce a new line of vinyl figures based on Evil’s amazing movie, television and pop culture designs (originally seen here)! Now comes word that the two companies have formed Vinyl Sugar, which is being described as “the illegitimate love child between Funko and some of the best free-wheeling designers from the back streets of London, the boutiques of Harajuku, and the galleries in NYC.”

Vinyl Sugar will be the company producing Evil’s designs under the new toy line “Vinyl Idolz.” I like to think of this line as taking Funko’s Pop! figures to the next level! From the teaser photo above, I assume it is safe to say Vinyl Idolz will definitely include figures based on the characters of Back to the Future, Ghostbusters and The Big Lebowski. More details to come as we get closer to Vinyl Idolz’ first release!
