Funko Chavo Chapulin Colorado

Two of the most recognisable figures in Latin American television comedy, rendered as chunky big-head collectibles: the scruffy neighbourhood boy of the courtyard sitcom, and the well-meaning, thoroughly hapless costumed hero who turns up when nobody braver will. Both are Chespirito creations, and for several generations of households across Mexico and far beyond they amount to childhood itself. The bundle comes as a multi-part set in the stylised vinyl-figure idiom, where the head is oversized, the body is simplified almost to a shape, and the whole performance is carried by the eyes and the stance. That flattening suits these two particularly well, since both characters were built from a handful of instantly readable gestures in the first place. A good desk piece, a better gift for someone who grew up on the reruns.
