Star Wars Pop! Vinyl Figure Bobble Heads Series 1 by Funko

Funko continues its line of cute and chunky Pop! vinyl figures with an all new series of Pop! bobble heads. Star Wars Pop! Vinyl Bobble Heads Series 1 includes adorable 3.75” versions of the most popular heroes and villains in the Star Wars Universe like Darth Vader, Yoda, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, a Stormtrooper and even Greedo!

If you’re wondering why Funko is releasing bobble head versions of its Star Wars Pop! vinyl figures (on stands no less) instead of the format they have been producing, The Blot’s guess is it has something to do with George Lucas’ current licensing agreement with Hasbro. Can’t have two toy companies with Star Wars licenses releasing competing “urban” vinyl figures now can we? So instead of releasing Star Wars Pop! vinyl figures that might resemble Mighty Muggs, Funko gives us bobble heads instead.

Star Wars Pop! Vinyl Figure Bobble Heads Series 1 won’t hit store shelves until March 2011, but you can pre-order all seven figures from Entertainment Earth here for $7.99 each.
