Funko Pop! Figurines Celebrate Our True Heroes: Frontline Workers.

In a press release dated May 22, 2020 Funko aanounced, ” In honor of the first responders on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic, Funko is excited to announce the new line of Pop! Heroes to commemorate the nurses and doctors who are giving their all to help treat patients. In association with this collection, Funko has made a donation to GlobalGiving, a 501c non-profit organization based in the United States that provides a global crowdfunding platform for grassroots charitable projects. It is the first and largest global crowdfunding community that connects nonprofits, donors, and companies in nearly every country around the world.”

“GlobalGiving makes it possible for local organizations to access the funding, tools, training, and support they need to become more effective at making our world a better place. Since 2002, more than 950,000 donors to GlobalGiving have raised more than $430 million to support more than 24,000 projects in 170 countries. They currently work with 300 partners in 76 countries, on what they say is most important in their communities, whether it is: personal protective equipment, sanitation, and/or meals.”

The day has finally come, despite it’s horrific price, that we recognize that superheroes already walk this earth. It’s time they received their due. Thank you to the medical workers, from janitors to surgeons, scientists, nurses, lab staff and more. Here’s to the next line we hope Funko embraces: grocery and retail workers. Delivery drivers, pharmacy personnel, fast food workers, utility staff….all of our essential workers that have literally kept us alive. Blue collar now means something completely different. Bless you all. Tell us about your essential job. – Jinger Royal jinger@electric949.com
