Maleficent (Flames) (Glow in the Dark) (Special Edition)

Released as part of the Funko Pop! Disney series, this stylized figure depicts the iconic antagonist Maleficent from the 1959 animated classic Sleeping Beauty. The design captures the character in her human form, draped in her signature black and purple robes, with a glow-in-the-dark finish applied to the flames rising from her staff. It was issued as a special edition variant to celebrate the enduring legacy of the film’s villain.

Funko’s design philosophy centers on a uniform aesthetic featuring large, square heads and simplified, non-articulated bodies, intended to appeal to a broad demographic of collectors. While the original 1959 character design by Marc Davis was celebrated for its elegant, sharp-angled lines and sophisticated color palette, the Pop! interpretation distills those traits into the company's trademark vinyl format. This specific variant was received by the collecting community as a nod to the character's magical abilities and serves as a companion piece to the broader Disney Villains line.
