If, like the wealthy VIPs in the show, you’d prefer to enjoy Squid Game from afar, Funko has got the solution for you. The best part? You can keep these adorable playthings on your shelf (pretty bow not included).
As part of a partnership with Netflix, the collectible toymaker is bringing eight Squid Game Funko Pops to its lineup.

These depict protagonist Gi-hun (player 456), whose hand is reached out with honeycomb candy; the elderly Il-nam (player 001) in his expectant Red Light, Green Light stance; Ali (player 199), new to Korean childhood games but a winner in everyone’s hearts; endearing North Korean defector Sae-byeok (player 067); and the sly Sang-woo (player 218), barefooted to get ready for the glass bridge.

Of course, the games can’t go on without the faceless guards. And in the world of Funko Pop, each rank is special in its own way.

The ones with squares on their masks will only be available on Walmart, the workers with circles on theirs will be sold on Amazon, and the ones with triangles will be Funko exclusives. The Frontman is nowhere to be seen—typical.
The adorable vinyl figures will be sold for US$10.99 a Pop, but sales for them have been red-lighted until May 25, 2022. You can, however, pre-order the Funko Pops now.

If these aren’t enough to appease your Squid Game mania, you’d be glad to know that Netflix is set to open a full Walmart online storefront with official merchandise from its programs, including the South Korean hit series.
