In order to commemorate the first aniversary of our facebook group - Funko Pop! Portugal , we (the Admins of the Funko Pop ! Portugal, Facebook Group ) ask Funko to produce a “Zé Povinho” Pop! Figure.
Zé Povinho is a Portuguese everyman created in 1875 by Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro. He became first a symbol of the Portuguese working-class people, and eventually into the unofficial personification of Portugal (for more info, please go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zé_Povinho ).
We use a Pop! Version of this character as a mascot for our facebook group and what better way to celebrate our first birthday than to have a real life “Zé Povinho Pop! Figure” produced! This would be a tribute to the portuguese Funko fans and portuguese culture!
The creator of the sketch is Paula Moutinho, a Fashion Designer from Porto – Portugal, and a member of our facebook group. We ask everybody to help us out in this quest and sign this petition! Funko Pop! Portugal Rules ;)
deleteGuys, I support you, but I think there is a critical point missing in the article and messages. The design by Paula Moutinho is amazing. Still, his arms need to be in his traditional pose, the famous TOMA, otherwise it will be hard to identify him. Thank You
