Magnum Funko Pop!

[K Hale]

They’ve finally done it! It’s coming out May 16th. Unfortunately it’s ONLY Thomas... there’s not even a Higgins. But it’s a start! I’ve already pre-ordered mine.

LOL! I almost posted about this 2 days ago. I was in Books A Million and they had a Miami Vice 2 pack of Crockett and Tubbs. 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!

[K Hale]

I want a Higgins one with the lads!

[NotthatRick]

I will definitely be buying one of these.

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.

Thanks for sharing. I just pre-ordered one for my daughter. We watch the show together and she has a few funk-o pop things. She'll like this.

Oh jeeze Pahonu. 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.

Pahonu,
My bad, I addressed my reply to Khale when it was your post concerning merkins. I went back and fixed it. Neat story. Plus I had no idea Leo Carillo has a beach named
after him. We are talking about the Leo who was the Cisco Kid's sidekick in the western series from the early 1950's? I got up way early on Saturdays to watch that
series on channel 5 in NYC when I was a kid.
Funko Pop, Selleck merkins and the Cisco Kid, I bet they don't have posts like these on The Waltons website.

[Pahonu]

One and the same, Leo Carrillo. This is indeed quite an eclectic mix of topics!

LOL! I almost posted about this 2 days ago. I was in Books A Million and they had a Miami Vice 2 pack of Crockett and Tubbs. 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!

Too funny!

[T.Q.]

Surprised no Tigers hat.

Cool though.

[Laohu]

If they put a Tigers hat on him they would have to pay a licensing fee to MLB . Going to guess that would not be cheap.

Hadn't thought of that! Maybe Al's Automotive has cheaper licensing fees?
