Old Master Q

Old Master Q, or Lao Fu Zi, is a quintessential figure in Chinese pop culture, originating from the long-running comic strip created by Alfonso Wong in 1962. The character, defined by his signature traditional Chinese long gown and skullcap, became a cultural touchstone in Hong Kong for his satirical take on social issues and the changing lifestyle of the city. Funko released this Pop! Asia figure, numbered 132, to pay homage to the character’s enduring legacy as an icon of mid-century Hong Kong comic art.

The design of the figure captures the classic aesthetic of Wong’s illustrations, emphasizing the character's expressive, lean frame and minimalist features. By incorporating Old Master Q into the Pop! Asia line, Funko aimed to bridge the gap between traditional comic heritage and the modern collectible toy market. It was received by fans as a nostalgic nod to the character's decades of influence in both literature and film, solidifying his status as a permanent fixture in the global landscape of character design.
