Medusa

The Medusa figure, numbered 22 in the Pop! Myths series, was released by Funko to celebrate figures from classical mythology and folklore. This line was developed to broaden the scope of the Pop! brand beyond contemporary licensed media, tapping into the enduring cultural resonance of ancient Greek legends. The design follows the classic Funko aesthetic, featuring the signature oversized head and stylized facial features, with the distinct addition of molded snakes atop the head to represent the mythological gorgon.

The figure was conceptualized as a stylized representation of the iconic character who, according to Greek myth, possessed hair made of venomous snakes and a gaze capable of turning onlookers into stone. By placing a mythological figure into a modern collectible format, Funko aimed to provide an accessible and approachable aesthetic for historical and literary figures. Upon its release, it was well-received by fans of the Myths sub-line, who often sought out the figure to pair with other deities and creatures from the same collection.
