Don’t you forget about … aliens.
Funko has immortalized four classic 1980s teen films and the cult classic black comedy Mars Attacks in Pop! form.

Fans of ‘80s cinema, collectors, and vendors have their pick of iconic John Hughes characters from Funko’s I Love the ’80s collection. Pop! figures in the new drop include a trio from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, the five starring characters of The Breakfast Club, two protagonists from Pretty in Pink, and two from Sixteen Candles.
Think fondly of Chicago with Matthew Broderick’s Ferris Bueller, Mia Sara’s Sloane Peterson, Alan Ruck’s Alan Frye, or cherish the suburbs with Michael Schoeffling’s Jake Ryan (in a green sweater this time), Molly Ringwald’s Samantha Baker, in her iconic bridesmaid dress – or Andie Walsh in her iconic pink dress, Jon Cryer’s Duckie Dale, Ally Sheedy’s Allison, Judd Nelson’s Bender, Anthony Michael Hall’s Brian, and Molly Ringwald’s Claire. (Molly Ringwald really was the queen amongst teens.)

For fans and vendors of 1990s camp, the Mars Attacks collection includes three aliens: an Alien Leader, an Alien Woman, and an Alien Soldier. One in six Pop! Alien Soldiers have a glow-in-the-dark brain.
Figures from both drops will be available online and in retail stores later this month. Tim Burton’s science fiction black comedy, based on the 1962 Topps trading card series, exited development hell for theaters in 1996.
