From the very first time it was decided that Star Wars would extend beyond the original trilogy, what has been added to its growing galaxy has been hotly debated. The first new addition to the Star Wars universe beyond the first three movies - and the Holiday Special, but don't worry about that - was The Phantom Menace. The first installment in the prequel trilogy that split hardened Star Wars fans, and it turns 25 this year.
Knuckles And Rouge Are Finally Getting New Sonic Funko Pops
18.03.2024 - 15:27 / thegamer.com
2024 is a big year for Sonic. Actually, it's a big year for Sonic's friends, and it's been a long time coming. While Sonic's name might be the one up in lights for Sonic 3 and the Generations remaster, it's Knuckles and Shadow who are the supporting characters hogging most of the spotlight. Knuckles in particular right now as his spinoff show comes to Paramount next month, hence the world's most famous echidna finally getting a new Funko Pop!
There are a couple of caveats. The first is that the Pop! is a GameStop exclusive. The second could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how you feel about Rouge. Rouge joins Knuckles to make the new additions to the Sonic Funko collection a two-pack. The figures aren't available to buy separately so you either get both of them or neither of them, and pre-orders for the set are available now through the link in the box below.
Being turned into a Funko Pop! isn't new for Knuckles, but this is the first time in a while the echidna has received a new figure. Somewhat surprising considering the wave of new Sonic Pops released at the end of 2023. Even more surprising is this being Rouge's Funko Pop! debut. This will be the bat's very first figure, and while most Sonic fans will want both so won't be phased by the two-pack caveat, it's a shame she still doesn't have a figure that can be bought individually.
Knuckles and Rouge have been paired together for a Funko Pop! two-pack. A GameStop exclusive that puts Knuckles in an action pose and marks Rouge's Funko Pop! debut.
Knuckles and Rouge being paired up in this way continues to fuel rumors that the latter might be introduced to Sonic's live-action universe during the upcoming Knuckles show. Rouge is also included in the Knuckles mech Lego set released on New Year's Day, getting her own smaller bat mech to fly around Knuckles as he protects the Master Emerald.
Even though Rouge is only now making her Funko debut, Sonic's Lego Minifigure collection is an even more exclusive club that she's already a part of. Sonic, Tails, Amy, and Shadow are the only other main characters to have been given that honor so far. We'll know for sure if Rouge is going to be the next character introduced to live action Sonic when the show starts streaming exclusively on Paramount Plus on April 26, 2024.

Iron Man Funko Pop! Shows Tony Stark Midway Through Suiting Up
Iron Man has been a Marvel superhero for more than 60 years. However, when someone floated the idea of a standalone Marvel movie, many wondered whether it was the right call. Turns out it was as not only was that movie a huge success, but it began the MCU as we know it. Iron Man may well be the most famous Marvel hero after Spider-Man thanks to Robery Downey Jr's portrayal of Tony Stark, and the character has been turned into various Funko Pops since Iron Man's big screen success.
