SUMMARY:
Meant to resemble actor Ed O’Neill as downtrodden Al Bundy from the 1987-1997 Fox TV series, this vinyl Funko was released in 2018. It is the standard Funko size (about 3.75 inches tall). Al is depicted wearing his standard shoe salesman work attire, with the right hand gripping his beloved TV remote and the left hand is relaxing, well, uh, somewhere else. Let’s just call it a vintage Al Bundy pose.
Note: Al Bundy is Funko # 688. Also available separately is his ‘beloved’ family: wife Peggy Bundy (Funko # 689); daughter Kelly Bundy (Funko # 690); and son Bud Bundy (Funko # 691).
REVIEW:
Funko definitely captures the vintage Al Bundy look, even down to the minute details of stripes on his tie. The paint job is terrific but not flawless. There may be some minor paint bleeds in various places (i.e. on Al’s left sideburn), which can be spotted upon close inspection. Still, considering all factors (particularly, its amusing potential as a desk or shelf decoration), this Funko Al Bundy makes a fine gag gift to any Married With Children fan.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 8 Stars
