While Jollibee’s post did not include a photo of the toy, FunkoFinderz, a Facebook page that posts photos of new Funko products, shared an unofficial photo this morning.
The same photo was by Twitter user @FunkoPopNerds, which also shares the latest on the licensed collectible toys.

But notice that sticker on the bottom right? If this really is the final version that will be聽distributed聽next month, it looks like only 4,000 pieces will be made available — so hurry if you want to add this to your toy chest.
With this toy, Jollibee will be joining other pop culture icons like characters from聽Star Wars, Game of Thrones, and The Avengers, who have also been turned into Funko Pop toys.
Because聽seriously, Jollibee聽is a fandom on its own.
