Funko has announced a new wave of Funko Pop! vinyl figures from the third-person hero shooter video game Marvel Rivals.
Marvel Rivals characters transformed into Funko Pop! figures.
Marvel Rivals, developed by NetEase Games in collaboration with Marvel Games, is a free-to-play, third-person hero shooter video game released on December 6, 2024, for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S.
The game features a roster of 33 iconic Marvel characters, including heroes and villains from the Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, and X-Men, each with unique abilities and playstyles.
Gameplay centers on 6v6 team-based matches across various modes, such as point capture and payload escort. Players can choose from three distinct classes: Duelist (DPS), Vanguard (tank), and Strategist (support).
A notable feature is the “Dynamic Hero Synergy,” which allows players to combine powers to activate unique Team-Up skills, adding strategic depth to combat. The game also boasts destructible environments, enabling players to alter the battlefield to their advantage.
Visually, Marvel Rivals delivers a comic-inspired aesthetic with vibrant animations and faithful character designs. The game runs smoothly at 60 FPS on consoles and PCs, with stable server performance.
However, some critiques highlight that while the game is entertaining and well-crafted, it underscores a trend in the industry favoring replication over originality.
The free-to-play model grants access to all heroes from the start, with optional microtransactions available for cosmetic items. The game supports cross-play across all platforms, allowing players to team up regardless of their chosen system.
In summary, Marvel Rivals offers a dynamic and engaging experience for fans of hero shooters and the Marvel universe alike. Its diverse character roster, strategic gameplay elements, and high production quality make it a noteworthy addition to the genre.
Characters from Marvel Rivals have been transformed into Funko Pop! vinyl figures and are part of the Funko Pop! Games series.
The newly announced wave includes four new Marvel Rivals Funko Pop! vinyl figures, including Doctor Doom, Iron Man, Magneto and Galacta (7 inch).
