Funko Unleashes Doom with New Invader ZIM and Gir Pop! Figures

Prepare for DOOM as Funko's latest drop includes two vinyl figures based on the cult-favorite animated Nickelodeon series, Invader ZIM!

Credit: ComicBook.com.

The first new Invader ZIM Funko Pop! figure features our favorite Irken himself, ZIM.

"Conquering Earth should be no problem for the mighty POP! Zim! But first, this alien is determined to take over your POP! Animation collection in the name of the Irken Empire. Help POP! Zim achieve his mission when you welcome him to your Invader Zim™ lineup. Vinyl figure is approximately 4.2 (10.7 cm) tall."

Carrying the serial number 2141, the Invader ZIM Funko Pop! Animation Collectable Vinyl Figure can be ordered on Amazon.com, Entertainment Earth and Hot Topic.

Next up is ZIM's faithful robotic assistant GIR, wearing his green dog costume and slurping away with a beverage.

"No need to conquer a planet alone! With a little guidance, POP! GIR is ready to assist Zim in his mission to take over the Earth—and your POP! Animation collection! Make room for this robot companion in your Invader Zim™ lineup. Vinyl figure is approximately 4.1 in (10.2 cm) tall."

Sporting the serial number 2142, the GIR Funko Pop! Animation Collectable Vinyl Figure can be ordered on Amazon.com, Entertainment Earth and Hot Topic.

Remember, peace is nice, peace is nice, peace is better than chicken and rice!

Invader Zim was created by Jhonen Vasquez and premiered on March 30, 2001. It ran for 27 episodes over two seasons on Nickelodeon, winning an Emmy Award and an Annie Award for individual achievement in animation (which went to storyboard artists Kyle Menke and Steve Ressel, respectively). In 2015, it became a comic book created by Vasquez and Oni Press, and a made-for-TV movie titled Invader ZIM: Enter the Florpus now available on Netflix.

The series chronicles an alien named Zim who arrived on Earth from his home planet of Irk with imperialistic intentions of conquering the planet (in order to gain favor with his Irken home race). Wildly ineffective but hilariously earnest, Zim and his robot companion GIR attempted to blend in and study the human race while simultaneously trying to enslave it. Despite Zim and GIR's subpar disguises, the only humans who realize they are extraterrestrials are school-aged paranormal investigator Dib.

Nickelodeon & Funko Announce SDCC 2025 Exclusive POP! Figures Based On Classic Episodes Of ‘SpongeBob,’ ‘Danny Phantom’ & ‘Fairly OddParents’

Nickelodeon and Funko are tapping into some serious millennial nostalgia for classic animated programming with three new POP! figures based on iconic episodes of Danny Phantom, The Fairly OddParents, and SpongeBob SquarePants.

Forbes Entertainment has unveiled a first look at all three items, which will be available to those attending this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. If you plan to be at the California-based con and want to get your hands on this limited merch, just be sure to get there bright and early — the Funko section of the convention floor never fails to attract large crowds.

Each SDCC '25 exclusive makes use of Funko’s “new authentication packaging,” the company says. “Using micro-optic technology that cannot be duplicated or replicated, these stickers contain unique item codes that can be officially verified through Octane5.”

Check out Nickelodeon’s exclusive Funko POP! figures for San Diego Comic-Con 2025

POP Animation: Danny Phantom - Sam​ ($15)

Courtesy of Funko/Nickelodeon

Don’t ghost this prom date! This exclusive POP! Sam Manson is here to party in your POP! Animation collection. Reunite her with her friends when you welcome her to your Danny Phantom lineup. Vinyl figure is approximately 4.2 in (10.7 cm) tall.

Of course, fans of Butch Hartman’s second Nickelodeon series will recognize this prom-themed version of Sam from Season 1, Episode 2 — “Parental Bonding” — which laid the groundwork for Sam’s romance with Danny. The two finally acted on their feelings and officially became a couple in the series finale: “Phantom Planet.”

Sam Manson's POP! code is 2002. 

POP Animation: Fairly OddParents 2 pack- Jorgen Von Strangle & Tooth Fairy ($30)

Courtesy of Funko/Nickelodeon

Talk about a power couple! POP! Jorgen Von Strangle and POP! Tooth Fairy are here to take their place in your collection. Add some magic to your POP! Television set when you welcome this exclusive 2-pack to your The Fairly OddParents lineup! Vinyl figures are approximately 4.7 and 5.4 in (11.9 and 13.7 cm) tall.

This duo set can only be a reference to Season 5’s “Teeth for Two," where Jorgen, the buff, Arnold Schwarzenegger-inspired leader of Fairy World, proposes to his longtime girlfriend, the Tooth Fairy, with Timmy Turner’s coveted buck teeth.

POP Premium: SpongeBob - Cleaning - $20

Courtesy of Funko/Nickelodeon

It looks like he could really use a break! Give this exclusive POP! Premium SpongeBob Cleaning a hand in your POP! Animation collection. Reunite him with all his Bikini Bottom friends when you welcome him to your SpongeBob SquarePants lineup. Vinyl figure is approximately 5.6 in (14.2 cm) tall.

This many-armed iteration of Bikini Bottom’s happy-go-lucky fry cook is plucked straight from the Season 3 episode “Rock-a-Bye Bivalve,” in which SpongeBob and Patrick become adoptive parents to an abandoned baby scallop they dub “Junior.” The former agrees to take care of things on the household front while Patrick goes to “work” every day. Pretty ironic, considering SpongeBob has a full-time gig at the Krusty Krab. In any case, SpongeBob becomes more and more ragged as the days go by and Patrick fails to share the parental load. As we soon learn, the dim-witted starfish’s idea of a hard day’s work is watching TV all day under his rock.

Cleaning SpongeBob has the production code of 2001.

Adventure Awaits With New 'Jimmy Neutron' Funko Pop! Figures

The animation kick continues over at Funko with a wave inspired by The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius.

Credit: ComicBook.com

Funko has a certain boy genius in their sights for the next wave of Pop! figures based on a nostalgic animated TV series. That’s right, Funko has launched Pops inspired by the beloved CG-animated series, The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius!

After tackling The Fairly OddParents recently, it was clearly time for Funko to take on Timmy’s multi-verse companion. The new drop includes the three main best friends of the show; Jimmy Neutron and his jetpack (#1903), Carl Wheezer (#1904), and Sheen Estevez (#1902). Look for these Funko Pops to go up for pre-order today, March 19th at 12pm ET here on Amazon and here at Entertainment Earth.

As noted, Funko has been on a nostalgic cartoon kick lately. They’ve released a wave based on the iconic Batman: The Animated Series, Ed, Edd n’ Eddy and The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy on Cartoon Network as well as the aforementioned The Fairly OddParents, along with Winx Club on Nickelodeon. Fans certainly aren't complaining. The recent drops have shed a light on Funko’s ability to handle some odd character designs as well, ones that might not fit perfectly into the Funko Pop! mold. The Cosmo & Wanda as Goldfish Pop! Moment is one of the most fun and inventive items that Funko has released in a long time, combining the design of the cartoon with the Funko way. Maybe we'll see Jimmy's faithful robot dog, Goddard, as a Funko Pop! figure one day. Click here to see the entire The Fairly OddParents collection.

The Slime-filled, immersive broadcast marks the first time animated characters will host a full-length awards show and commences an array of multiplatform initiatives for one of the most popular characters and beloved animated series of all time.
• SpongeBob SquarePants Anniversary Specials: A series of specially produced all-new episodes, with Easter eggs and nods to fan-favorite moments, will debut in July on Nickelodeon around the world and continue to roll out through the year. Viewers will catch up with former jellyfishing champion Kevin C. Cucumber, journey through different eras of Bikini Bottom, travel 2000 years into the future with Plankton and more.
• Paramount+: Paramount+ is the streaming home for SpongeBob fans with more content than any other streaming service, including a number of titles joining the service this July: SpongeBob SquarePants seasons 1-13; original spinoff series Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years, and season one of The Patrick Star Show; theatrical films, such as The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie; and anniversary-themed specials throughout the year.
• Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie: Bikini Bottom's resident scientist and squirrel Sandy Cheeks journeys to Texas to save Bikini Bottom from a villainous plot, in the first movie starring a supporting character from the franchise debuting on Netflix Aug. 2.
• Play Like a Sponge UK Shorts: Nickelodeon UK and ParalympicsGB have partnered to produce Play like a Sponge, a shortform series that inspires kids to find their inner SpongeBob as he cheers them on in their quest to learn about and sample new sports with paralympic athletes ahead of the upcoming games in Paris this August.
