Where it came from
Released as part of the Funko Pop! Albums series, this collectible commemorates the 1977 Queen studio album, News of the World. The design reproduces the iconic album cover art, which was originally illustrated by sci-fi artist Frank Kelly Freas. Freas had been commissioned by the band after drummer Roger Taylor spotted his work in a 1953 issue of Astounding Science Fiction, featuring a giant robot cradling a lifeless human body. The band requested a variation where the robot held the band members instead, creating one of the most recognizable covers in rock history.
The figure serves as a piece of music memorabilia that bridges the gap between classic rock aesthetics and contemporary vinyl-style collecting. By housing a standard-sized Queen figure within a larger display box that mimics the original album sleeve, Funko aims to appeal to both nostalgia-driven music fans and toy collectors. The piece is widely regarded by fans as a tribute to Queen's experimental era, which produced staples like We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions, and it remains a staple in the expansive Funko Pop! rock music collection.
