About this Artist
Universal Pictures, primarily known as a major film studio, is also an influential player in the art toy industry through licensing its iconic characters to various designer toy brands and manufacturers. The studio owns a vast catalog of beloved franchises, including Jurassic Park, Universal Monsters (Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, etc.), Back to the Future, E.T., and Minions, many of which have been reimagined as collectible art toys. Universal collaborates with well-known toy companies such as Super7, Mondo, Funko, NECA, Medicom Toy, and Kidrobot to produce limited-edition vinyl figures, sofubi (soft vinyl), and other stylized collectibles. These collaborations often reinterpret classic characters in unique artistic styles, ranging from retro-inspired designs to modernized, high-end collectibles aimed at serious collectors. Funko Vinyl Soda figures are a line of collectible figures packaged inside a soda can-style container. Each figure stands approximately 4.25 inches tall and features a unique stylized design, distinct from Funko Pop! figures. Each Soda figure has a 1 in 6 chance of being a rare chase variant with a different color scheme, pose, or design. Every figure is numbered on the can, with production runs typically ranging from 5,000 to 20,000 pieces. The figures come inside a resealable aluminum can with custom artwork matching the character, and includes a round cardboard pog that displays the character’s image and edition number.
