In an exciting new team up, Marvel and Funko have created animated shorts featuring everyone’s favorite Funko Pop! vinyls.
Today, Marvel and Funko released the first of three new animated shorts featuring Loki vs. Spider-Man and Iron Man. Other Marvel characters in the series will include Spider-Man, Iron Man, Loki, Rocket, Groot, the Collector, Deadpool, and Venom. Each video will run about 90 seconds in length.
Speaking about the project, Marvel’s Senior Vice President of Animation and Family Entertainment Cort Lane said, “Telling Marvel stories in the Funko Pop! aesthetic is a special kind of magic unlike anything we’ve ever done. These shorts are both hilarious and action-packed – and irresistibly adorable too. Really, I think all audiences will love them.”
Funko’s Director of Marketing Mark Robben also shared his enthusiasm on the project, “We are beyond excited to bring our Pop! Vinyl to life by collaborating with Marvel. We hope fans enjoy these short films as much as they do collecting Pop!, and hopefully we’ll be able to create many more.”
Watch the first animated short “Spellbound” below:
The second animated short will be released on December 7, and is titled “Bait N Switch.” That short will feature Rocket as he tries to break into the Collector’s museum to rescue his friend Groot.
The third animated short will be released on December 14, and is titled “Chimichangas.” And, you guessed it, Deadpool will be featured in the short as he fights Venom!
