Get ready to return to the wonderful and rather unpredictable world of Amphibia, because at long last, some of our favorite characters from the beloved Disney animated series are finally getting the Funko POP! treatment!
Over the years, Disney has introduced audiences to countless unforgettable animated worlds, bringing together stories filled with adventure, friendship and characters that continue to resonate with fans long after their stories have come to an end. And when it comes to some of the more memorable animated series to emerge from Disney Television Animation in recent years, there is certainly no overlooking the world of Amphibia.
First making its debut back in 2019, the beloved animated series created by Matt Braly introduced audiences to Anne Boonchuy, a young girl who unexpectedly finds herself transported to a mysterious world inhabited by talking frogs, toads and newts. What begins as an unusual adventure in an unfamiliar world quickly grows into a much larger story about friendship, growing up and discovering what it truly means to be there for the people you care about.
And while Anne’s journey alongside Sprig and the Plantar family may have come to an end with the series finale in 2022, the love fans have for the world of Amphibia has continued to live on.
Now, after years of waiting, fans are finally getting the opportunity to bring some of their favorite characters home in an all-new collectible form.
That’s right, Funko is introducing an official Amphibia POP! Animation collection featuring three of the series’ central characters: Anne Boonchuy, Sasha Waybright and Marcy Wu.
And naturally, Anne isn’t making her Funko debut alone.
The first figure in the collection features Anne alongside her beloved frog companion Sprig Plantar, bringing together the unlikely duo whose friendship helped shape so much of the series. From their earliest adventures in Wartwood to the challenges they faced as the story continued to unfold, Anne and Sprig became one of the show’s most recognizable partnerships, making their inclusion together a fitting way to celebrate the series.
Joining Anne and Sprig is Sasha Waybright, another central figure in the story whose journey throughout Amphibia became an important part of the series’ exploration of friendship, trust and personal growth. And of course, it wouldn’t be a proper reunion without Marcy Wu, whose curiosity, enthusiasm and love of adventure helped make her one of the most memorable characters in the series.
Together, the three releases bring Anne, Sasha and Marcy back into the spotlight, giving fans the opportunity to celebrate the friendship that stood at the center of Amphibia, even through some of its most challenging moments.
For longtime fans of the series, the arrival of these figures is particularly exciting considering how much time has passed since Amphibia first concluded. While the show may no longer be airing new adventures, its characters and storytelling have continued to hold a special place in the hearts of viewers who followed Anne and her friends throughout their journey.
And with the growing popularity of collectibles inspired by animated television, it’s always exciting to see another beloved Disney series receive the opportunity to join the Funko POP! lineup.
The new Amphibia Funko POP! Animation collection consists of three figures, with Anne and Sprig sharing one release alongside individual figures of Sasha and Marcy.
Fans interested in adding the characters to their collections can find the figures through the following Amazon listings:
After all these years, it’s wonderful to see Anne, Sasha and Marcy getting another opportunity to reunite, this time on the shelves of Amphibia fans and collectors.
And who knows? Perhaps this is just the beginning of more collectibles inspired by the unforgettable world of Amphibia.
