The Mandalorian Star Taika Waititi Celebrates IG-11 Getting a Funko Pop


The Mandalorian is the first live-action series from the Star Wars franchise so fans shouldn't be surprised by the amount of merchandise based on this Disney+ series. As we wait for this show to debut so we can judge it for ourselves, we can indulge ourselves in some of the merch that has already been released. IG-11 voice actor and Thor: Love and Thunder director Taika Waititi is doing just that.

On Twitter, Waititi is celebrating how IG-11 already has a Funko Pop and it's one of the better figures from that line. As someone who doesn't like how most of these Funkos look alike, the IG-11 Funko Pop stands out for looking like a chibi version of the character. It's genuinely good and puts other Funko Pops to shame.

Right now, it's still too early to tell how memorable Waititi's IG-11 is going to be like, though, given the director/writer/actor's history, it should be a fun performance from him. Star Wars likes to make its droids memorable and there's no doubt that IG-11 will be another one, assuming this show is written well. For the sake of quality, let's hope so.

Aside from The Mandalorian, Disney+ is also planning to release a Rogue One spin-off set before the events of that dramatic movie. It's clear that Disney is planning to maximize what they can from their Star Wars and Marvel brands, so let's hope for more good shows.

The Mandalorian will debut at the same time as Disney+, which will be available on November 12.
