Funko has revealed new images of their collection for 'Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio' collection.
There have been so many great iconic versions of the Pinocchio story over the decades. The most famous one is Disney’s 1940s animated rendition, but director Gullermo del Toro and Netflix are about to release a new Pinocchio that may challenge that classic’s animated crown. The more twisted and dark stop-motion animated take on Carlo Collodi’s source material releases this Friday, December 9, on the popular streamer.
The line includes four vinyl figures which feature Geppetto, the Wood Sprite, Black Rabbit, and Pinocchio who comes with his trusted cricket. The coolest thing about these figures is that they look ripped straight out of the film. Given that this version is animated, that lends itself better to more screen accurate Pops. Especially since this was a stop-motion animated project which uses real life models/figures to create motion through still images.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Netflix’s Pinocchio looks like a darker, more gothic fantasy, take on the source material then fans are used to. While the amount of Pinocchio content we have been getting has seemed like a lot, with Disney just releasing a live-action remake of their own animated film back in September, del Toro is separating his own film from the pack by presenting a love letter to a sadly forgotten style of animation.
Netflix’s Pinocchio hits the streamer on December 9 with the film thus far dazzling audiences and critics alike with a jaw-dropping 97% certified fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The images can be viewed down below, and you can find more information on Funko’s new Pinocchio line on their website.
