In a fabulous confluence of search engine friendly keywords, Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn will be getting his own Funko POP! doll, as reported on Gunn's own social media account. Responding to a request for the company to cast Gunn's image in highly collectible vinyl, Gunn revealed that plans are already in motion:

Hi @OriginalFunko, could you create a collection of film directors or artists like @JamesGunn, @TheRealStanLee, @GeorgeLucasILM? Thks

I believe @TheRealStanLee's already been done, and I'm coming up! More news soon! Cc @OriginalFunko https://t.co/vpqFJjHLTG

There's no other news to report on the James Gunn Funko POP! Vinyl at this time, which is actually a good thing, because it means we'll be able to publish several more updates on this story in the future. The surprise announcement eases entertainment journalism industry fears that after the Blu-Ray release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, which is still in theaters and still the number two movie of the weekend, there would be a dry spell of James Gunn tweets to turn into clickbait news articles, as exemplified in our ongoing feature, Jumping The Gunn.
