Mr. Link In Suit

Released in 2019 to coincide with the stop-motion feature film Missing Link by Laika Studios, this figure depicts the film's protagonist, Mr. Link, dressed in his dapper, tailored suit. The piece was produced as part of the Funko Pop! Animation line, capturing the distinctive aesthetic developed by the character designers at Laika, who sought to blend a rugged, mythical creature silhouette with the sophisticated, Victorian-era gentleman attire central to the film’s narrative.

The design process for the figure focused on translating the intricate textures of the puppet's clothing into the signature Pop! stylized format, featuring the character's notable sideburns and buttoned jacket. As a tie-in for the film, the figure was marketed toward both animation enthusiasts and collectors of Laika’s high-quality stop-motion merchandise, reflecting the studio's reputation for meticulous craftsmanship and whimsical character development.
