Eddie Van Halen Is Now a Funko POP! Figure

It was bound to happen eventually. Like Blink-182, Morrissey, Iggy Pop and Slipknot before him, Eddie Van Halen is the latest musical icon to be immortalized as a Funko POP! figurine.

As you can see above, the Funko POP! Van Halen isn't simply standing like countless other big-headed vinyl toys in the series. This likeness of the late, great guitarist arrives mid-leap, complete with an included base so that he can shred standing up.

Unlike a real-world memorial in California proposed earlier this year, the figurine also comes included with Van Halen's iconic striped guitar.

Standing at 4.66 inches tall, the figurine arrives in a box sporting the late rocker's "EVH" badge logo, commonly associated with his music gear company. Find further information here ahead of the figure's 2022 release.

Eddie Van Halen died October 6, 2020, following a battle with throat cancer. This year saw son and one-time Van Halen bandmate, Wolfgang Van Halen, making his solo debut as Mammoth WVH.
