GameStop Releasing Exclusive Paul Heyman Funko Pop

One of the most fruitful partners Funko continues to have for making more Pop! figures is the WWE, producing vinyl figures for the likes of legends like Steve Austin and Mick Foley, modern stars such as Becky Lynch and Roman Reigns, and even Vince McMahon. One individual who has yet to get a vinyl figure, though, despite the impact he continues to have on WWE, both on camera and behind the scenes, is Paul Heyman. However, this is going to change very shortly as Funko and WWE will be releasing a new Pop! figure, exclusively at GameStop, for the «mad scientist» of professional wrestling, paying homage to his time leading the ECW revolution.

WWE offered a first look at the newest figure on Twitter alongside a link to pre-order the figure from GameStop, showing how Paul Heyman translates as a Funko vinyl figure. As mentioned above, the figure takes inspiration from Heyman's time as the head of Extreme Championship Wrestling during the 90s, serving as the third option for wrestling fans who were not keen on the product WWF and WCW were putting on TV. The figure reflects this time with Heyman sporting an ECW baseball hat, dressed in a t-shirt with a blazer and slacks, and a microphone in hand.

The choice makes sense for a Heyman Pop! figure as this is the time when he became the Heyman audiences came to know between ECW and, later, WWE.

He, also, isn't a surprising choice given the overall impact Heyman has made on the professional wrestling industry. From 1993 to 2001, Heyman led the charge of ECW being a «true» alternative to the shows
