There were the bathtub water candles and bath drain mugs and graveyard scene cards, so it was only a matter of time until “Saltburn” received the Funko Pop treatment.
The collectible merch brand announced Monday morning the upcoming release of two vinyl pop figures of the buzzy film’s two leading men: Oliver and Felix. While they aren’t yet available to shop online, we can expect them to arrive on Amazon and the Funko Pop shop once they officially launch. And you’ll want to act quick because they’ll likely sell out as fast.
The vinyl figure of Oliver (or as the kids online endearingly call him: a “f*cked up little freak”), features the cunning character in the white two-piece ensemble he wears during the film’s climactic mansion party scene, complete with his devilish horns. Funko even designed him with miniature abs peeking out from his embroidered jacket.
Felix’s vinyl figure, inspired by the same scene, features the charming college student in a white tank top, blue jeans and his symbolic angel wings. The mini figure features his tousled hair, sultry smize and a hand tat, but there’s weirdly no eyebrow piercing in sight…
“Saltburn” stars Keoghan as a college student named Oliver who finds himself drawn into the world of a charming and aristocratic classmate (Elordi) after he is invited to his eccentric family’s sprawling estate for a summer. The film polarized viewers and critics alike, with some panning it as a cheap “Talented Mr. Ripley” knockoff, and others embracing it for its cinematography, score and entertaining twists. Many viewers also criticized its messaging about class politics, failing to adequately skewer the upper classes while depicting scholarship kid Oliver as a vampiric con artist.
Either way, the film made a splash for its whirlwind twists and multiple shocking scenes between Keoghan and Elordi. In one scene, Keoghan watches Elordi masturbate in a bathtub and afterward is seen licking up Elordi’s semen around the tub’s drain. “I was like, ‘Thank God, it’s mine,’” Elordi told Variety at the film’s premiere. “I was very proud. I was very proud to have Barry Keoghan guzzling it like that.”
“Saltburn” is now streaming on Prime Video.
