Let's Talk WNBA Pop Figures: A'ja Wilson and Pals!
It's game on for collectors, y'all! Funko just dropped a major announcement, partnering with the WNBA for the first time ever to release a freakin' epic line of Pop! figures starring the league's biggest ballers. WNBA legends like A'ja Wilson, Angel Reese, Breanna Stewart, and Caitlin Clark are stepping into the Pop! universe.
A'ja, our Las Vegas Aces queen, is leading this amazing crew of powerhouse women. These are more than just vinyl figurines, they're symbols of women's sports earning its rightful place in pop culture.
Pre-orders open on May 14, just a few days before the WNBA's regular season kicks off. Looks like this partnership is a significant step towards recognizing the surging influence of women's basketball within mainstream culture.
Hype levels are off the charts! Funko CEO, Cynthia Williams, shared her enthusiasm for the deal, saying the sky-rocketing popularity of the WNBA, its powerful players, and devoted fanbase showcase the might of sports culture.
As for Wilson, she's far from a newbie in the world of hits. Since her Aces debut, she's been unstoppable, leading the team to a double championship in 2022 and 2023. During the 2023 Finals, she nabbed the MVP title, averaging a whopping 23.8 points and 11.8 rebounds per game. Wilson's dominance on the court secured the Aces a 3-1 win against the New York Liberty.
Get ready for the upcoming season, as the Aces face the New York Liberty in their season opener on May 17. Their home opener at Michelob ULTRA Arena is set for May 23 against the Washington Mystics. With Wilson's vinyl figure now a reality, fans are frothing at the chance to witness more of her court-crushing performance.
Remember, this collaboration isn't just a collectible. It's a celebration of the growing significance of women's sports in our society. To claim a slice of WNBA history, mark May 14 on your calendars for pre-sale awesomeness. A'ja Wilson, Angel Reese, Breanna Stewart, and Caitlin Clark make their Pop! debut, embodying the triumphs and milestones they've achieved for the sport.
