Luigi

Luigi, the affable yellow Fiat 500 from the Cars franchise, was released as figure number 285 in the Pop! Disney line by Funko. This specific iteration was designed to tie into the 2017 release of Cars 3, the third installment in Pixar's high-octane film series. The design captures Luigi's distinct, rounded European silhouette and expressive headlamps, consistent with Funko's signature stylized aesthetic that emphasizes simplified features and large, solid-color eyes.

The figure emerged during a period of significant expansion for the Pop! brand, as Funko sought to deepen its catalog of intellectual properties by focusing on legacy animation partnerships like Pixar. The creative direction for this series focused on maintaining the recognizable character traits of the Radiator Springs residents while adhering to the uniform vinyl construction of the line. Upon its release, it was primarily marketed toward film enthusiasts and collectors of automotive-themed merchandise, serving as a nostalgic nod to the character's long-standing role as the enthusiast proprietor of Luigi's Casa Della Tires.
