This partnership will raise money for the ASPCA.
National Pet Day is April 11, and to celebrate, Funko announced it has partnered with the ASPCA (the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) to release two “Pops! With Purpose” vinyl figures inspired by dogs from classic films.
As part of this partnership, Funko will release Pops of Einstein from Back to the Future and Toto from The Wizard of Oz. Funko will donate $10 to the ASPCA for each Pop that’s sold.
These Pops will be available to pre-order on Funko’s website beginning October 4, 2022. Fans can sign up to receive notifications when these Pops become available by clicking the “Notify Me” button for each Pop on Funko’s website.
This isn’t the first time Funko has created products that support a nonprofit organization. For instance, Funko recently partnered with Make-A-Wish Foundation to release special Pop figures inspired by Disney, Star Wars, and Marvel characters.
