Love the details on these pops, but where’s the love for Sam the Eagle, guys? He was hilarious in the movie! Still, can’t wait to get my hands on these.
This is so nostalgic! Muppet Christmas Carol was always my fav holiday movie, Michael Caine was amazing as Scrooge. Great to see it getting love from Funko.
