By Mulder, 30 may 2024

Funko, the renowned leader in the pop culture collectibles domain, is excited to announce the launch of a new series of Funko Pop! figures inspired by the highly anticipated animated film Inside Out 2 (Vice Versa 2), produced by Disney and Pixar. This new collection introduces five fresh emotions: Envy, Embarrassment, Joy, Ennui, and Anxiety, each meticulously designed to capture the essence of these complex feelings.

Inside Out 2, the sequel to the beloved original film, delves even deeper into the intricacies of the human psyche. By exploring new dimensions of our inner emotions, the film presents a profound narrative that resonates with audiences of all ages. To commemorate this significant cinematic release, Funko has crafted a unique and captivating series of Funko Pop! figures that promise to become cherished items for collectors and fans alike.

The first figure, Joy, radiates with vibrancy and cheerfulness. This figurine captures the pure, heartwarming essence of joy, with its bright colors and expressive features that symbolize happiness and positivity. Joy’s presence in any collection is sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face, reminding us of the simple pleasures and uplifting moments in life.

Next is Ennui, a figure that perfectly encapsulates the universal feeling of weariness and boredom. With its tired eyes and indifferent expression, this figurine stands out by depicting a more subdued and contemplative state. Ennui’s realistic portrayal resonates with those quiet moments of introspection and the common human experience of feeling listless and unenthused.

Envy is another standout in this collection, with a design that artfully portrays the complex nature of this emotion. The figurine’s piercing gaze and sly smile reflect the intricate layers of envy, capturing both its intensity and subtlety. This figure serves as a reminder of the nuanced feelings we often experience, making it a thought-provoking addition to any Funko Pop! collection.

Embarrassment is depicted with charming detail in this collection. The figurine’s red cheeks and confused expression perfectly illustrate the awkwardness and self-consciousness that define this emotion. Embarrassment’s endearing design adds a touch of humor and relatability to the series, making it a beloved piece for fans who appreciate the lighter side of human emotions.

Finally, Anxiety rounds out the collection with a figure that authentically represents this often-experienced emotion. The worried look and tense features of this figurine capture the essence of anxiety, offering a visual representation of this common feeling. Anxiety’s design is both poignant and relatable, making it a powerful addition to the collection that speaks to the shared human experience of worry and stress.

These meticulously crafted figures are priced at €16 each and are available for purchase on the official website, funkoeurope.com. Each figure in the new Funko Pop! collection not only serves as a delightful collectible but also as a thoughtful representation of the varied and intricate emotions that define the human experience.
