New Queen & Freddy Mercury Funko Pop! Rocks figures.
Queen are a British rock band formed in London in 1970 and the band consisted of Freddie Mercury (vocals, piano), Brian May (guitar, vocals), Roger Taylor (drums, vocals) and John Deacon (bass).
Their eponymous debut album was released in 1973 and their earliest works were influenced by progressive rock, hard rock and heavy metal, but the band gradually ventured into more conventional and radio-friendly works by incorporating other styles such as arena rock and pop rock.
In August 1986 Mercury gave his last performance with Queen in Knebworth, England. In 1991 he died of bronchopneumonia, a complication of AIDS. Deacon retired in 1997 and since 2004 May and Taylor have been touring as “Queen +”, with vocalists Paul Rodgers and Adam Lambert.
Queen have been a global presence in popular culture for more than four decades. Estimates of their record sales range from 170 million to 300 million, making them one of the world’s best-selling music artists.
Freddie Mercury and the other members of Queen have been transformed into Funko Pop! vinyl figures and are part of the Funko Pop! Rocks series. In addition to Queen Funko Pop! Rocks figures, Funko has released Queen’s Flash Gordon soundtrack as a Funko Pop! Album figure as part of the Funko Pop! Albums series.
Following previously released Queen Funko Pop! vinyl figures in the Pop! Rocks series, Funko has now announced a Freddy Mercury (I Was Born to Love You) Funko Pop! vinyl figure, inspired by the video for the 1985 song “I Was Born to Love You” from Mercury’s first solo album entitled Mr. Bad Guy.
Funko has also announced a new Queen (I Want to Break Free) Funko Pop! Rocks 4 Pack, featuring Funko Pop! vinyl figures of Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor, inspired by the controversial video for their 1984 song “I Want to Break Free”, where all band members are dressed as drag queens.
