Today, I check out an pair of vinyl figures released last year on the Funko Shop website. Featuring the two “hosts” of the animated Freddy Funko Show, here are Freddy Funko and Huckleberry Hound.
While to me they have a style reminiscent to the VNYL line, it does not state so on the packaging. This pair of vinyl figures come in an open window box design, and was limited to just 3000 pieces.
First up, the actual host of the show… Freddy Funko, all decked out in a powder blue suit.
Then, just like Johnny Carson had his Ed McMahon and Conan O’Brien has his Andy Richter, Freddy Funko has his “sidekick” or “co-host”, Huckleberry Hound!
I am not going to lie. I mainly got this two-pack for Huckleberry Hound. He is one of my favorite Hanna-Barbera characters, and I really like his sculpt. Freddy is nice to, but for me the selling point was my favorite hound.
This special Funko Shop exclusive is no longer available at the shop, but you can pick it up pretty reasonably on the secondary market if you’d like to add this to your collection.
