Obelix

Obelix was released as part of the Funko Pop! Animation series, specifically cataloged as number 130 within the Asterix & Obelix collection. The figure commemorates the iconic Gaulish deliveryman created by writer René Goscinny and illustrator Albert Uderzo, whose adventures first appeared in the Franco-Belgian comics magazine Pilote in 1959. This Pop! iteration captures Obelix's quintessential look, including his signature striped trousers, thick red braids, and his constant companion, the small dog Dogmatix, reflecting the enduring global cultural impact of the source material.

The design follows Funko’s signature aesthetic, characterized by a stylized oversized head and minimalist facial features, intended to make the figure instantly recognizable within the expansive Pop! ecosystem. While the Asterix and Obelix franchise has long been a staple of European comics and animation, the release of this vinyl figure signaled a broader effort by Funko to broaden the reach of its Animation line toward international pop culture icons. The piece was well-received by fans of the classic comics for its faithful translation of Obelix’s familiar stance and colorful attire into the modern collectible vinyl format.
