Funko Announces Master Toy License Acquired For Overwatch

Funko has some exciting news for fans as they announce their newest partnership with Blizzard Entertainment. Funko has now expanded its relationship with Blizzard and the Overwatch franchise to include action figures and much more in their already robust line of collectible Pops and Mystery Minis. They are joined by construction sets from LEGO as well as, Nendoroids and Figmas from Good Smile Company. Dark Horse and Young Adult novels from Scholastic will still offer their run of Overwatch stories too, giving something for every Overwatch fan out there. We have already seen a lot of Pop vinyl releases for Overwatch over the years, from Funko with main and alternate costumes design. The announcement has already revealed that a new action figure line will be created from the new license. 

It is unclear if we will see figures like Hasbro's Overwatch Ultimate's figure or something similar to the Rick and Morty figures that Funko has created after they gained their Master Toys License. As a big Overwatch fan, I hope Funko can do right by this amazing franchise as it is filled with a great story and set of characters. From a huge variety of alternate costumes and a great lineup of heroes and villains, Funko has plenty to work with. Many changes have occurred for Overwatch over the past year, but big things are expected for the game, especially if single-player and co-op modes are a bigger part of the game's layout this time around. Fans can find all of the current Funko Overwatch Pop Vinyls available for purchase here. 

"Happy 5th Anniversary, @PlayOverwatch! Funko and Blizzard are excited to announce our Master Toy partnership for Overwatch 2! COMING SOON: a-Mei-zing new action figures, Pops!, and more! #Overwatch #Funko"
