The Aviator

The Aviator Pop! figure, designated number 89 within the Pop! Asia series, represents the titular character from the 2015 animated film adaptation of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s classic novella, The Little Prince. Produced by Funko, this figure was part of a specialized regional release intended to commemorate the film’s international appeal and artistic reimagining of the source material. It draws directly from the film’s distinctive, whimsical character design, which translated the book’s poetic illustrations into a stylized 3D aesthetic.

The design of the figure captures the Aviator in his iconic flight goggles and scarf, aiming to evoke the sense of wonder and melancholic nostalgia central to the story. By including this character in the Asia-exclusive line, Funko targeted a market with a long-standing cultural affinity for Saint-Exupéry’s work. Upon release, the figure was well-received by collectors for its departure from standard franchise tropes, serving as a rare, tangible homage to a piece of literature widely considered one of the most significant works of the 20th century.
