While it's a POP, it's definitely not the norm in terms of character but hey, the Tapatío Man supplies this household so he deserves a spot as a POP. So without further adieu, get on to the review!
POP AD Icons is another Funko POP series that hits a WIDE variety of characters and properties. From candies to cereal, to drinks, and for this case, towards condiments. I try not to get too deep into AD Icons (and yes, I have a couple of them as it is) but as I mentioned, Tapatío Man is a must.
There is plenty to like with this POP. First off, that pose is pretty darn good. The fact that the man is holding a Tapatío bottle hits home. It's a simple pose but it does what it needs to do: showcase all the details that this POP has to offer. And believe me, there are plenty of details to like. I love the outfit, it's very well done with all the little sculpting with the outfit, from the topknot bowtie to the jacket, to the shoes, and with the gigantic sombrero, it's all well done. There is nothing else to say other than a good job on this, Funko!
Going to point out that the shoes came in with some scuffs so the yellow plastic could be seen. A quick swish of permanent marker covers it--good as new. Now all positive! That sombrero paint job with all the designs is something to like. The yellow jacket is a good contrast against the black pants and shoes. The silver belt buckle is a small detail piece but still given attention. And the small Tapatío bottle also has the proper details. It's a definite win, for sure.
Here is Tapatío Man next to Morton Salt Girl in POP form. Both these condiments can make your food taste like God's own handmade burrito. As POPs, I'm sure the two have a lot in common and it's going to be a happy diverse family.
So is it a recommendation? Yes. As a POP there's a lot of things to like since it's the usual work with Funko. My good friend and I agreed that this is a good addition and I'm glad that our agreement came with a good POP in our collection!
Until Next Time!
