When it comes to the Marvel series on Disney+, there’s no show as beloved asLoki. The time-travel sci-fi adventure finally sawTom Hiddleston’s God of Mischief in a starring role with Loki just releasing its critically acclaimed second season last fall. Now, to honor the actor’s over a decade-long run as the popular Marvel anti-hero,Loki is getting his ownFunko PopMoment set.
LokiThe Void Deluxe Funko Pop Momentdepicts the opening of Season 1, Episode 5, “Journey Into Mystery”. The title itself was a reference to the god’s half-brother Thor’s first comic appearance. However, the Easter eggs in this thrilling penultimate episode didn’t stop there, as Loki met different variants of himself.This includedClassic Lokiplayed by Richard E. Grant, Boastful Loki played by Deobia Oparel, and Kid Loki played by Jack Veal with Alligator Lokiby his side.
They’re all there to greet Hiddleston’s Loki in The Void as our favorite anti-hero is trying to find Sylvie after escaping theTime Variance Authority(TVA). The Funko set features Loki on the ground in shock, staring himself right in the face. Like all Deluxe Moment sets, the figures come in a plastic shell case and feature a highly detailed backdrop. This particular set has the post-apocalyptic Void wasteland with the monstrous Alioth watching over it.
Loki’s the Champion of the MCU
While Hiddleston’s version of the character started out as a villain in 2011’sThor, only to become the main enemy toThe Avengers, withThor: The Dark World, Loki’s human side was beginning to show. From there, the character in the main timeline would appear in two more films,Thor: RagnarokandAvengers: Infinity War. The latter of which, Loki, made the ultimate sacrifice, being killed at the hands of Thanos. However, withAvengers: Endgame, came the idea of branching timelines. This is where the Loki of the series comes into play. After escaping with the Tesseract in an alternate “Battle of New York”, theLoki Variant ends up at the TVA, where they recruit him to hunt down a variant.
However, what they don’t tell him at the time is that he’s tracking down a version of himself,Sylvie, which opens a can of emotional worms for Loki. Instead of going the usual MCU route of large-scale action spectacle, Loki went in a moreintimate sci-fi direction with John Carpenter-esc thriller moments. It worked wonders for Loki’s character, with Hiddleston giving his best preference as the character. The series, across both of its seasons, had some of the best writing in the superhero genre. Themes of loving yourself and finding your purpose in the universe richly separated this from any other MCU project.
While Loki’s future in the MCU remains uncertain, with the character seemingly getting a definitive ending in Season 2, nothing is ever certain when the God of Mischief is involved.The TVA will be featured inDeadpool & Wolverinethis summer, but there have been no signs of Loki’s presence. Until we see Loki again, you can currently order Loki’s The Void Deluxe Funko Pop Moment onEntertainment Earth’s websitefor $59.99 USD.Lokiis also streaming onDisney+alongside the rest of the MCU.
Loki, the God of Mischief, steps out of his brother’s shadow to embark on an adventure that takes place after the events of “Avengers: Endgame.”
