Funko is extending its Pop! With Purpose collection to include new characters in support of the ASPCA (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals).
Funko will donate $10 from the sale of each specially-marked Pops! With Purpose figure to the ASPCA. The new collection will be made available exclusively through Funko’s direct-to-consumer website and will feature famous movie pets, like Dorothy’s puppy Toto from The Wizard of Oz and Einstein from the Back to the Future trilogy.
“The ASPCA does such important work in their fight to prevent cruelty to animals, which is a cause near and dear to the hearts of many of our employees,” says Andrew Perlmutter, CEO at Funko. “When fans purchase their favorite Pops! With Purpose pet figures, they’re displaying not only their fandom but their desire to help the ASPCA in their anti-cruelty mission, which we’re honored to be a part of.”
Funko has made philanthropy a focus for several years now, introducing the Funko Cares Program in 2018, Funko has aided the community through monetary and product donations.
