Funko is collaborating with the non-profit Color Compton to release two new Pops! with Purpose figures featuring the Los Angeles-based icons Venus Williams and Eric “Eazy E” Wright.
The Venus Williams Pop! features the famous tennis player in her athletic wear with arms outstretched, while the Eazy E Pop! features his signature black “Compton” hat and a microphone in his hand.
For every limited-edition Pop! sold, Funko will donate $10 to Color Compton, an organization that strives to empower students in the Compton community by sharing the histories of people of color and introducing art as a form of communication. Through the organization, students gain both leadership and community activism experience.
“Our organization seeks to engage students through exposure to arts and history,” says Abigail Lopez-Byrd, Founder and Executive Director of Color Compton. “Creating these learning opportunities is vital to our community and we are grateful for Funko’s support in uplifting our work.”
The minimum contribution guaranteed to Color Compton through this partnership is $50,000.
Pops! with Purpose launched back in 2021 and has since supported a variety of organizations through monetary and product donations. Some of these organizations include Make-A-Wish, It Gets Better Project, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Operation Homefront, and more.
These newest Pops! with Purpose are available for pre-sale now exclusively from funko.com.
