KHale,
I must be old, I had never heard of Funko Pop. Funky fresh, yes. Actually it looks pretty neat. Do they do figures for all the major characters, will there be a Higgins, Luther
Gillis or The Lads funko pops? Given Magnum PI's status as a long running classic for a third of a century, I am surprised there hasn't been a whole lot of tie ins for sale.
Other than the classic Magnum Hawaiian shirts, I can't think of any other items. Does anyone know of any? I wouldn't mind an official Magnum rubber chicken.
How about a Magnum chest hair wig, I think they are called merkins?

Uh, a merkin isn’t worn on the chest... a little lower.

KHale,
Oh jeeze KHale. It's amazing the stuff you can learn on Magnum Mania. I understand how people will donate their locks to cancer patients out of kindness. Or how
others regularly sell their hair to wig companies for a nice sum. I can't imagine how the merkin supply is managed, or why someone would feel the need to
buy one. I gotta believe there isn't much glamour attached to being a salesman for Merkins Inc. either.
Mr. Selleck, if you are reading this let's just forget about the merkin gambit. Other than Braddah Kimmo, I doubt there have been Magnum fans just waiting to
buy one.

I have to come clean about how I knew what a merkin was. Back in the mid-90’s when I was working in television production, I picked up a PA job on a cable movie whose name I don’t recall. We filmed one early morning at the edge of LA County at the rocky coast of Leo Carrillo Beach. The scene included the discovery of a young woman’s naked dead body on the sand. The actress had body makeup making her appear pale and bruised and she was indeed naked... except for a merkin. That’s when I learned what it was. I remember many of the crew being informed that while her breasts were exposed, her genitalia was concealed to maintain an R rating.
I have no idea about where such things are made or how.

I googled to see if there was a Magnum funko and found on some comics site that one was scheduled for release in May. It didn't look very official so I decided not to post anything yet. We need 2 packs with TM and Higgins and one with TC and Rick. Rick could even be life size!
