Loki Uncovers His Frost Giant Lineage in New 'Thor' Funko Pop Figure Celebrate Loki's origin story with this frosty collectible.
Marvel and Funko are taking us back to the early days of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a new Pop! figure featuring Loki from the original Thor film released in 2011. As one of the foundational films in the MCU, Thor introduced audiences to the realm of Asgard and its complex characters, including Loki, the mischievous brother of Thor who cunningly sought the throne of Asgard and played a part in Thor's banishment to Earth. Now, Loki's true origins are brilliantly showcased in this figure, as he radiates a cool blue glow, revealing his Frost Giant heritage.
The figure captures the pivotal moment when Loki first encounters the Casket of Ancient Winters within Odin's vault. Upon touching the artifact, he unveils his true lineage as the son of Laufey, the Frost Giant king, realizing that Odin had only taken him in as an infant. In that transformative instant, as he turns to confront his adoptive father, Loki's skin adopts a striking blue hue, exposing Odin's deceit. This collectible figure portrays our beloved Marvel antihero with piercing red eyes, icy blue skin, and the distinctive markings of a Frost Giant, all while he holds the luminous glow-in-the-dark Casket in his hands.
Loki's Evolution Continues: New Funko Pop Figure Unveils His Origin
Loki's journey in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been nothing short of captivating. From his debut in Thor to his heroic sacrifice in Avengers: Infinity War, the God of Mischief has undergone a remarkable transformation. Now, a new Pop! figure pays homage to his beginnings and showcases the incredible character development he has experienced over the years.
The figure serves as a reminder of Loki's mischievous nature, as seen in his schemes and orchestrations that unfolded in Thor and culminated in leading the Chitauri invasion in The Avengers. However, his path took unexpected turns, and he eventually found redemption, reconciling with his brother Thor and bravely confronting Thanos alongside his fellow Asgardians. The figure captures the essence of where Loki started in the MCU and highlights the significant changes he has undergone since Tom Hiddleston first brought him to life on the big screen.
But Loki's story is far from over. Marvel has exciting plans for the God of Mischief, with the highly anticipated Season 2 of the Loki series set to premiere on October 6th. Picking up from the jaw-dropping cliffhanger of Season 1, where Kang the Conqueror emerged following the demise of He Who Remains, Loki faces the consequences of a fractured Sacred Timeline. As he embarks on his quest to become a hero, he finds himself entangled with an alternate Time Variance Authority, navigating a brewing "war for the soul of the TVA," as Tom Hiddleston teased. Fans can look forward to witnessing Loki's continuing adventures and the unfolding complexities of his character in the upcoming season.
