The day has finally come, despite it’s horrific price, that we recognize that superheroes already walk this earth. It’s time they received their due. Thank you to the medical workers, from janitors to surgeons, scientists, nurses, lab staff and more. Here’s to the next line we hope Funko embraces: grocery and retail workers. Delivery drivers, pharmacy personnel, fast food workers, utility staff….all of our essential workers that have literally kept us alive. Blue collar now means something completely different. Bless you all. Tell us about your essential job. – Jinger Royal jinger@electric949.com
