Funko Pop! figures aren’t known for being terrifying or graphic in any way. The pop culture collectibles have become famous for their simple, cute, exaggerated, and recognizable design, capturing the likeness of everyone from Spider-Man to Stephen Colbert. However, just in time for Halloween, the company is testing the limits of what’s possible for its signature Pops with two gory new figures based on Damien Leone‘s boundary-pushing horror franchise, Terrifier. Art the Clown and his partner in crime, Victoria Heyes, from Terrifier 3, are both being unleashed as Entertainment Earth exclusives, complete with levels of blood and viscera rarely seen within the world of Funko.
Although he’s responsible for the most heinous acts in the Terrifier franchise — like the hacksaw scene from the original film or the bloody shower scene with a chainsaw in Terrifier 3 — Art’s new figure is a bit tamer than Victoria’s. It’s still completely splattered with blood, though, and sees him wielding a kitchen knife covered in crimson, which he’s presumably used on his latest victim. David Howard Thornton‘s twisted slasher also comes with the chance of landing a special chase variant Blacklight figure that turns Art’s costume to a sickly yellow and black, his eyes to a haunting shade of neon green, the blood to blue, and his skin and gums to pink. Just because he’s a bit more colorful doesn’t make the 4 1/4-inch figure less terrifying, though.
Victoria, meanwhile, gets a truly vile figure picking up where Terrifier 2 left off. She’s sitting down and clutching Art’s severed head, with blood and gore pooled around her and lining her mouth. Funko went into detail in capturing her haunting visage, detailing her damaged skin and missing eye and nose from after Art’s mauling. It’s a fitting depiction of the demonic clown’s twisted partner, played by Samantha Scaffidi, who’s now possessed by the Little Pale Girl and is equally willing to take part in the franchise’s gruesome kills. Her figure stands at roughly 3 inches tall and both retail for $16.99. Unfortunately, fans will have to wait until next Halloween to put them on display, as they’re expected to arrive by May 2026.
Art the Clown’s End Is Approaching in ‘Terrifier 4’
One thing the Art and Victoria Pops should arrive in time for is the release of Terrifier 4. Expected to premiere sometime in 2026, the film will follow up on the cliffhanger ending of Terrifier 3 that saw Art escape into the night once again, and franchise final girl Sienna Shaw (Lauren LaVera) vow to save her cousin Gabbie (Antonella Rose) from the depths of Hell. As of August, Leone told Collider’s Perri Nemiroff that he was still writing the screenplay, but confirmed that he was planning it out as a finale to Art’s story. While he’s not shutting the door on the franchise for good, he is wary of falling into the same traps of other horror franchises with a seemingly endless number of sequels. This will be an ambitious capper to Art’s arc, though, as Leone plans on exploring the origins of his silent killer at last in a “Lynchian” way without giving up all the world’s secrets.
“So, I think there’s a way with his origin to have my cake and eat it too, but we’ll find out. I am taking a bit of a risk, but I’m very well aware about losing that mystique at the same time, so we’ll see if it plays out. I think the majority of people are going to be very cool with it.”
The Terrifier 3 Funko Pop! figures of Art and Victoria are available to pre-order now exclusively through Entertainment Earth. Get a look at the collectibles in the gallery above and stay tuned here at Collider for more on Terrifier 4 as updates come out.
