Icee Polar Bear (Grape Scented)

The Icee Polar Bear, number 72 in the Funko Pop! Ad Icons series, serves as a nostalgic tribute to the iconic mascot of the frozen carbonated beverage brand. First appearing in advertising in the 1980s, the mascot was designed to personify the refreshment of a cold Icee, characterized by its bright blue fur and perpetually happy expression. The figure captures this branding history, leaning into the mid-century aesthetic that the Icee company has maintained throughout its decades of national expansion.

Funko released this specific iteration to celebrate the enduring legacy of 20th-century American advertising icons. The design team focused on maintaining the recognizable features of the mascot, including its signature red scarf and cup, while utilizing the stylized, large-headed format common to the Pop! line. Upon its release, the figure was well-received by collectors of pop culture memorabilia and advertising ephemera, who value the connection between the collectible figure and the childhood memories associated with the frozen treat.
