Bluey, everyone’s favorite Blue Heeler, and her fellow canine companions just received the Funko Pop treatment.
Collectible manufacturer Funko is launching a collection of Bluey toys for fans both old and young. The line of figurines includes all the usual suspects from Bluey to her little sister Bingo, down to some of the more niche characters.
The vinyl toys are available for preorder on Funko’s website, as well as on Amazon. The estimated shipping time frame, according to both sites, is mid-July to early August. Pricing ranges from $6.99 to $39.99, with most pieces retailing for $14.99.
ShopBillboard has picked out a few favorites from the new family-friendly Funko drop that you can shop below.
POP Jumbo: Bluey
Bluey is a lovable Blue Heeler, otherwise known as an Australian Cattle Dog. The cartoon character made her debut on television in 2018 via ABC Kids in Australia.
Priced at $39.99, this sweet Aussie doggy has been crafted out of durable vinyl and stands at 10 inches. The jumbo toy is a collector’s piece meant to sit proudly on a shelf in its colorful box; however, it’s also ready for play whenever the mood strikes.
Mystery Mini Bluey Pack
Similar to a blind box, you can purchase a mystery packet featuring one mini Bluey character out of 12. Test your luck to snag your favorite.
If you’re a lover of blind boxes, we’re willing to bet that you or your kids might like these Bluey-themed mystery boxes. These little packets come equipped with one random tiny toy out of 12 that you could receive.
These 12 statuettes depict key players in the show, Bluey and Bingo models, alongside more obscure, but still just as adorable, characters. Some of our favorites include Coco the poodle, Chloe the Dalmatian and Honey the beagle with blue spectacles. All of these collectibles can be seen striking fun poses, giving them a dynamic and whimsical feel. Hopefully, with each pack, you’ll score a new friend to play around with or put on your shelf.
POP Animation: Bluey – Bingo (Granny)
When creativity takes over, Bluey and her younger sister Bingo love to play dress up. This Funko Pop reflects Bingo’s alter ego of sorts, Granny Rita.
POP Animation: Bluey – Granny Janet
Just as creative as her younger sister, Bluey often dresses up as Granny Janet. Her granny persona comes with funky purple glasses and a bright red blanket wrapped around her body.
“The Grannies,” Janet and Rita, are make-believe characters Bluey and Bingo conjured up while playing dress-up, one of their favorite pastimes. The two sisters’ playful game of pretend is translated into two figures with blankets draped over their heads and a few accessories donned to aid in the transformation.
Both figures retail for $14.99 and stand at roughly 3.1 inches tall. Bluey’s Granny Janet wears a red blanket tucked tightly around her doggy ears and purple glasses. Bingo’s Granny Rita look features a purple blanket and a polka-dot coin purse. If you do want both “Grannies,” Funko also offers a two-pack for $29.99.
“Wackadoo! Things are looking bright and Bluey over here at Funko! Together with our friends at BBC Studios, we could not be more excited to celebrate fans and families with this exciting new line,” said vp of licensing and business development Jason Bischoff in a statement from Funko. “Collectors of all ages will lose themselves in our robust, new line, featuring a wealth of Pops! inspired by the show’s most unforgettable moments.”
The TV series Bluey came to fruition in 2018 in Australia and has since become a major obsession for adults and little ones. This is likely due to the stories told on the show that are framed like life lessons. Yes, the show features comedy, but it is also a great teaching tool for kids. The cartoon emphasizes things like the values of parenting and being true to your emotions.
The music from the show is also a major draw. Bluey: Up Here (The Orchestral Album) recently debuted at No. 3 on Billboard’s Kid Albums chart dated May 2. This is the fourth time that the animated series and pop culture phenomenon’s music has charted. The monumental moment is all thanks to the show’s composer Joff Bush and The Bluey Music Team. Bush is behind a majority of the music seen on Bluey and has been on the team for the last nine years.
