Most folks don’t have a clue just how much courage some less fortunate souls have to pluck up before the clock finally strikes six in the morning. Sometimes simply making it through the night proves to be one hell of an eventful experience that might just make one question their choice of career. It is at this moment that many fans ofFive Nights at Freddy’swould feel compelled to give a nod and a wink and whisper: “Say no more.”
Born out of an original take on what makes a survival horror game truly special, theFNaFfranchise is rich ingames that reveal the spooky side of officesand night shifts. Over the previous decade,Five Nights at Freddy’shas built a world of dark creativity around the scenario of someone learning that some nights get darker than others the hard way. The ever-evolvingFNaFworld makes dark souls who share a certain fascination with all things macabre feel right at home in the company of malevolent animatronics.
It is little wonder that one famous line fromGame of Thronesacquires a special meaning in the global fiend club ofFive Nights at Freddy’sfans. There’s something about the line “the night is long and full of terrors” that really hits the spot in some ofthe spookiestFive Nights at Freddy’sgames. Perhaps these words just hit home the moment you find yourself in the shoes of a security guard who wonders what has to be wrong with his karma to get a week of night shifts from hell.
Admittedly, in the world ofFNaFgames for every level of thrill, the line between terror and admiration proves elusive. In the case of animatronics, one might be hard pressed to tell where horror ends and dark beauty begins. These seemingly innocent marvels of engineering by day turn out to be quite marvelous at rattling the human nervous system by night. Their dark violent charm, however, is perfectly capable of conquering the hearts of fans around the clock, and Funko pays a tasteful tribute to their savage magnetism.
It’s only so natural ifthe firstFive Nights at Freddy’slive-action adaptationhas left you feeling that animatronic characters could have gotten more attention in the film. Luckily, Funko has plenty ofFNaFfigures that can help fans remedy this situation in their collections. As we dive right in and focus on the bestFNaFfigures out there, you may find a few delights well worth welcoming into your collection.
6FNaFFunko Pops: The Withered Bunch
Arguably the spookiest of the kind, withered animatronics are the disfigured versions of their original counterparts. Their deformed appearance and noticeably bigger size are just enough to flood someone’s night shift with terror. Roaming around with looks that scream decay, withered animatronic characters have chunks of fur and sometimes their limbs missing. With that said, despite their terrifying demeanor, withered animatronics are anticipated by many fans inthe upcomingFNaFlive-action adaptation sequel.
Funko has nailed the withered aesthetic in the form of neat Funko Pop vinyl figures. They pay tribute to the four major animatronics: Freddy Fazbear, Foxy the Pirate, Bonnie the Rabbit, and Chica the Chicken. Foxy is perhaps the smartest in this unhinged savage bunch looking to wrap animatronic suits around fresh human bodies.
