Funko Pop! releases shirtless Jason Kelce figure
DexertoFunko Pop! has released a figure of Jason Kelce shirtless after he went viral for celebrating during the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills playoff game.
Jason Kelce has garnered a lot of media attention in the weeks following his potential last game as a Philadelphia Eagle. What started as rumors surrounding his retirement from the NFL soon switched gears when he went to cheer on his brother Travis at an away game in January.
The images of Kelce with his shirt off, beer in hand, in freezing temperatures, took over the internet. One Chiefs fan even recreated the image by using a football, which got even more attention from the community.
“I wanted to take everything off and be out there with the fans,” Kelce said after the event. “I don’t know if I’m wrong in my head, but I feel like taking your shirt off is a Buffalo Bills thing, right?”
Now, fans of the superstar center can bring Jason Kelce into their home in the form of a shirtless Funko Pop!
Funko Pop! makes limited-run Jason Kelce figure
Funko Pop! is no stranger to the sports scene, having created several different football figures and mascots in previous years, but this Kelce figure is something extra special.
However, unlike many other NFL Funko Pop! figures, the Kelce edition will cost $25 and does not include the additional shipping costs, which means that it is almost double the price of the other figures listed on the website.
In addition to the pre-order figure, Funko revealed that they would also be donating to the Patricia Allen Fund at Oishei Children’s Hospital—something that fans had mixed views on considering the high price tag, wondering if Funko was making the donations or if the consumers were.
The figure will be limited on the Funko Pop! official website. Fans can pre-order the figure from February 2 until February 5 at 9:30 am PST. Since the figure is pre-order only, it is estimated to ship sometime at the end of July.
