Funko Pop has announced that another musician will be immortalized as a Pop Vinyl figure this year. This time, it’s the Queen of Country, Reba McEntire as her 1993 CMA Awards appearance will be transformed into a brand-new collectible. This POP Rocks figure will be released next year and fans have until November to pre-order the item.
Retailing for $15, this Funko pop figure immortalizes her 1993 CMA Awards debut, when she performed “Does He Love You” on stage with Linda Davis. The song peaked at number one on the Canada Country Tracks and Billboard’s US Hot Country Songs in 1993. In addition, it received gold certification after it sold around 500,000 copies. The song was later revised in 2021 with Dolly Parton as the new duet partner.
Funko has released numerous figures of artists and celebrities in the past. Others include Panic! At The Disco, Michael Jackson, BTS, and Cher, just to name a few. Many of these Funko releases reference these artists’ notable looks, songs, appearances, and performances. For example, Shakira had a Funko figure based on her Super Bowl LIV outfit. Meanwhile, Jackson had his 1993 Super Bowl look turned into a King of Pop collectible. McEntire is just one of many artists that have received similar treatment, and it seems the company doesn’t plan to stop paying tribute to these artists.
