Hard to believe it’s been 30 years since the live-action adaptation of “Casper” hit theaters. To celebrate this fact, FUNKO is releasing a collection of Pops based on the film.
From director Brad Silberling and Steven Spielberg‘s Amblin Entertainment comes a live-action fun house ride filled with laughter, excitement and ghostly surprises. “Ghost therapist” Dr. James Harvey (Bill Pullman) and his daughter Kat (Christina Ricci) arrive at drafty, old Whipstaff Manor. Its greedy owner, Carrigan Crittendon (Cathy Moriarty), has hired Dr. Harvey to exorcise the house’s apparitions: a friendly but lonely young ghost named Casper (voiced by Malachi Pearson), who’s just looking for a friend, and his outrageous uncles; The Ghostly Trio of Stretch, Stinkie, and Fatso. If the plan works, she and Dibs (Eric Idle), her partner-in-slime, can get their hands on the manor’s fabled treasure. Meanwhile, Casper has found a kindred spirit in Kat, but The Ghostly Trio will not tolerate “fleshies” in their house.
(There are also some amazing cameos in the film like Dan Ackroyd and the great Don Novello as Father Guido Sarducci.)

Remember when Casper gets his Pinocchio moment and turns into Devon Sawa?
Anyhow, keep your eyes out for these and other collections, wherever you get your Funkos.
