Funko is releasing 'The Office' figures since everyone still loves the show
It's been nearly six years since the series finale of The Office aired on NBC, but the workplace comedy still has an extremely dedicated fanbase.
To kick off 2019, amidst passionate pleas for an Office reboot, Funko decided it was finally time to release a collection of adorable Pop! figures inspired by some fan favorite Dunder Mifflin employees.
The figures debuted at the 2019 New York Toy Fair — along with figures inspired by Shazam!, Post Malone, Dragon Ball Z, and more — and as a die-hard Office fan, I can honestly say they look damn near perfect.

In a blog post, Funko confirmed the line of The Office Pop! figures would include Michael Scott, Dwight Schrute, Jim Halpert, Pam Beesly, Darryl Philbin, and Kevin Malone (carrying a pot of his famous chili,) along with a pack that features both Toby and Michael in case you're in the mood to act out a duel.
Judging by the preview of the figures, Funko seems to have done a pretty good job honoring the characters. Michael's holding his "World's Best Boss" mug. Jim Halpert's figures appear to be sporting two of his legendary Halloween costumes: Bookface and "Dave." And Toby's figure is clutching replica of the rock Michael gave him for his farewell that says "suck on this!" The only thing people might be left longing for? More characters.
No offense to Darryl, Toby, and Bookface Jim, but where the hell are the rest of the OG characters? Give us an Angela, a Phyllis, or a Kelly. We need Party Planning Committee representation here, Funko. What about Meredith, Creed, and Oscar? We're just going to forget about all the good times we shared with them? And why was it so hard to make us a Stanley Hudson holding a pretzel? Seems like an easy win! Heck, we'd even take a Ryan in his temp days holding a burnt pita.
Though there are glaring gaps in this collection of figures, the ones above are currently available for pre-order at Entertainment Earth — priced at $10.99 for a single figure, and $19.99 for a double pack.
They're not expected to ship until July 2019, though, which means you have more than enough time to place an order for yourself and alert all the other Office fans in your life.
