Funko Unveils Four Different Pennywise POP! Toys from ‘IT’

Published

They cannot take our money fast enough.

The most anticipated horror movie of the year is unquestionably Mama director Andy Muschietti’s new take on Stephen King’s IT, which will bring us back to Derry on September 8. We were hoping the new movie would bring Pennywise back into the Funko POP! line (the Tim Curry version has his own vinyl toy), and indeed it’s going to!

Set for release in September, just in time for the movie, is a wave of (at least) four different new IT POP! vinyl toys that depict actor Bill Skarsgard’s new version of Pennywise. First up is the standard toy of Pennywise holding Georgie’s boat, which will have a rare 1-in-6 “sepia” chase variant.

In addition, there will be a couple of store exclusives. “Pennywise with wig” is headed to Walmart stores, while “Pennywise with balloon” will be a Hot Topic exclusive.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
