It helps that the characters in the movie are already supposed to look like wooden toys, but holy mierde do these Dia de los Muertos-inspired figures from the upcoming Guillermo del Toro production look better than anything in this style that Funko’s ever done before. Calling it now – this movie will be for an entire generation of Latino kids what Nightmare Before Christmas was for pale goths who secretly loved Disney but could never admit it before.
Weird, though, that villain Xibalba basically has the same name as Sebulba from The Phantom Menace. It’s pretty wizard, even.
