Funko reveals two toy recreations of WandaVision storylines, part of a new marketing deal between it, Marvel and the Target chain.
Two beloved WandaVision moments can now be enjoyed by Marvel fans as vinyl collectibles, courtesy of the Funko brand.
Target’s online store revealed that both Funko POP! Mini Moments, part of a joint collaboration with Marvel called Marvel Studio Selects, are now available to pre-order for $7.99 each. The Mini Moments include Wanda, Vision and their sons Billy and Tommy wearing their comic-accurate Halloween costumes from WandaVision Episode 6, “All-New Halloween Spooktacular!,” as well as Agatha Harkness filming Wanda during the “Agatha All Along” musical number. Funko also released a new Doctor Strange collectible, which comes with a classic Lee/Ditko-era comic book cover.
The first Marvel television series to debut exclusively on Disney+, WandaVision served as a direct continuation of Wanda Maximoff’s story from Avengers: Endgame. Following her and Vision as they live a seemingly idealistic married life in suburbia, the series gradually changed its format with each episode, taking on the look and aesthetic of various American sitcom eras. Eventually, it’s revealed that the world is one of Wanda’s creation, having used magic to enslave the town of Westview, New Jersey into becoming her supporting cast and even giving birth to two rapidly-aging sons. This eventually leads to Wanda discovering that one of the townspeople is a witch named Agatha Harkness, who remained undercover in hopes of finding the source of Wanda’s power.
Following WandaVision‘s critical success, the series was nominated for 23 Emmy Awards in 2021 and won three:
Outstanding Fantasy/Sci-Fi Costumes, Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics and Outstanding Production Design for a Narrative Program (Half-Hour)” Six more Marvel shows have since been released to Disney+, with the latest, Moon Knight, premiering on March 30. An Agatha spinoff titled Agatha: House of Harkness is also currently in development, with recent reports suggesting that its tone will be a dark comedy.
Elizabeth Olsen recently reprised her role as Wanda/Scarlet Witch in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, whose story openly acknowledged the events of WandaVision. However, the film quickly reveals Wanda to have been corrupted by Agatha’s Darkhold book and, realizing the existence of Billy and Tommy variants, intends on killing America Chavez to gain her multiverse-traveling powers. This decision has polarized Marvel fans since the Doctor Strange sequel’s release, with some feeling that it undermines Wanda’s character arc from WandaVision in favor of making her a complete villain. However, Olsen’s performance was heavily praised by critics, as was Sam Raimi’s horror-inspired direction for Wanda’s supernatural abilities.
WandaVision is available to stream on Disney+. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is currently playing in theaters.
