You hear Funko Pop and it conjures up a certain image in your head. Probably the same image for most people, which is a big head figure with a signature design. Funko had to change that classic design for certain characters and got creative with their ideas, and some of the Pops coming out this week are some of the most creative yet. The new designs appear to be Jumbo Pops with Bitty Pops inside, and the first three will be available for purchase sometime this week.
The three pops haven't technically been revealed yet, at least not officially. However, the first images of the figures have already been shared online, revealing this Shockwave from Transformers, Marvel's Hulkbuster and Voltron they are the first to be part of the collection. Since the listings for the Pops haven't been released yet, it's unclear what their exact sizes are, but it's pretty clear from these initial images that they're larger Pops piloted by Funko's little Bitty Pops.

The images show the Soundwave, Voltron, and Hulkbuster Pops looking like regular old Funko figures, but open them up and they all have Bitty Pops controlling them. As a few collectors have already mentioned, the idea makes sense for Voltron and Hulkbuster, but not so much for Soundwave. As a huge Transformers fan who still walks around with Transformers One, I will not only allow it, but almost certainly buy one the moment it becomes available.

Soundwave, Voltron and Hulbuster will launch the new collection
If these Pops are what they appear to be in these first images, then they'll likely be about ten inches tall, which is more than twice the size of a normal Funko Pop, and the Bitty Pop inside will be a bit shorter than an inch height. . In terms of price estimates, Jumbo Pops tend to be $45 when released. These might be even more expensive because Jumbo Pops don't usually come with bonus Pops inside. We won't know for sure until the records are available.
Even though all we have are these first images for now, collectors are already making wish lists for other fandoms they'd like to see join the Funko matryoshka doll lineup. By far the most requested addition so far is the Power Rangers, probably the Megazord that formed when all their Zords came together. A Pop for each Zord with a tiny Power Ranger inside would be great, especially if Funko can find a way for them to come together to create a super-sized Jumbo Pop.
