WONDER WOMAN: Check Out The Awesome Comic-Con Exclusive Ares Funko Pop Vinyl Figure
Funko has unveiled another batch of Comic-Con exclusives, but one worth highlighting is this long overdue Pop featuring the villainous Ares from the recently released Wonder Woman movie...
Heading into Wonder Woman, we only got to see Ares in toy form. As it turns out, that action figure wasn't particularly accurate as the villain was neither massive or had his face concealed in darkness, but that was likely a result of Warner Bros. wanting to do everything within their power to keep the villain's true identity a secret. This Funko Pop also hides the God of War's face but is still awesome.
It's only set to go on sale at Comic-Con, but will likely find its way onto eBay and select stores shortly after the annual event. Other Pops currently available for Wonder Woman include a variety of different takes on Diana Prince, Steve Trevor, Queen Hippolyta, and a very, very hard to find Doctor Poison.
Interestingly, Funko will also be releasing a Suicide Squad Pop featuring The Joker dressed as Batman. A Hot Toys action figure featured the Clown Prince of Crime in the same costume so we now have to wonder if this was indeed taken from an earlier version of the movie before those extensive reshoots. If so, it's fair to say it would have been a unique scene had it not ended up on the cutting room floor with the rest of Jared Leto's performance. What do you guys think of these Comic-Con exclusives?
