Introducing the Delightful ‘The Big Lebowski’ Funko Pop! Figure
In honor of its 25th anniversary, Funko is celebrating in style with a range of limited edition collectibles as part of its Fun on the Run tour. Among the exclusive items is a figure that perfectly captures the essence of The Dude. This latest Pop! figure showcases Jeff “The Dude” Lebowski, the beloved character portrayed by Oscar winner Jeff Bridges, as he appears on the iconic poster of “The Big Lebowski.” For a limited time, Funko has partnered with Walmart to bring this figure and other pop culture collectibles to fans across the country throughout July.
The figure beautifully replicates the close-up of Bridges’s face in black and white, with his iconic shades providing the only splash of color. Maintaining the greyscale theme, the figure features The Dude in his signature laid-back attire, complete with his bowling shoes and sunglasses adorned with the red speckled pattern from the poster. While the rug that set off his extraordinary adventure is absent from this scene, it’s perhaps for the best, given what the thugs did to it in the film. To signify its special release, the box will proudly display an official Fun on the Run 2023 sticker.
From Cult Classic to Legendary Film in 25 Years
It’s only fitting that Funko chose to celebrate “The Big Lebowski” since the iconic Coen Brothers film also marks its 25th anniversary this year. Over time, the movie has undergone a reappraisal, evolving from an underappreciated cult favorite to a legendary piece of cinema, so much so that it has been preserved in the U.S. National Film Registry. Starring Jeff Bridges alongside a stellar cast including John Goodman, Julianne Moore, Steve Buscemi, John Turturro, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Tara Reid, and Sam Elliot, the film follows The Dude’s misadventures as he seeks justice for his ruined rug, only to find himself embroiled in a rescue mission for the trophy wife of his wealthy namesake. With the involvement of his eccentric friends, chaos ensues, featuring wild dream sequences, a strong disdain for The Eagles, and plenty of bowling.
Exciting Times Ahead for Funko
This promises to be an eventful month for Funko, as the Fun on the Run tour continues alongside preparations for the highly anticipated return of San Diego Comic-Con. The collectible company has already unveiled a plethora of new merchandise that will dominate the convention. Exclusive Marvel posters, figures, and accessories featuring beloved characters like Spider-Man and Thor, as well as DC exclusives centered around The Flash and Batman, have been revealed. Additionally, there is even a line of figures inspired by the popular series “Ted Lasso.” As the tour progresses and SDCC draws nearer, fans can expect many more exciting releases from Funko.
The limited edition Pop! figure inspired by “The Big Lebowski” is now available. Take a look at the figure and the official announcement below.
