Funko sent over some new images of upcoming pop vinyl figures in there Pop! Television line. First off, in honor of the upcoming soon-to-be-a-classic Sharknado 2: The Second One, Funko is giving us a Sharnkado Pop!. The best thing? It’s probably a better actor than Tara Reid *rimshot*.

Funko has sent over pictures from some of their upcoming product, and we’re happy to show them off. First, from their retro-styled ReAction line, Funko is releasing a figure based on the cult movie The Rocketeer. Featuring a removable helmet and jetpack, this figure looks like it was made in the 70’s, which may be many years before the movie came out but fits in with the character’s comic debut in 1982. The Rocketeer figure is available in May.

These will be available in May. (* Note: We at ASM do not condone buying the figure of your rival team for use in nefarious ways.) One request, though, Funko — we need a Bernie Brewer with

I admit it; I know next to nothing about the Guardians of the Galaxy, other than the fact that they’ve got a gun-toting raccoon who has anger issues. (That pretty much seals the deal for me, actually.) Thankfully, Funko is here to help me and those like me get to know the characters better. They’re releasing new vinyl figures in their Pop! Marvel line as well as Wacky Wobblers, all of which will be available by the time their movie hits theaters on August 1st. Because we’ve got a lot of pictures, I’m putting them all after the jump.
