Set which features the original members of the classic punk rock band, Blink-182. The set includes figurines of Mark Hoppus, Travis Barker, and Tom DeLonge, celebrating the band’s legacy by depicting the members in costumes from their “What’s My Age Again” music video. Each member comes complete with their respective tattoos, including Barker’s ‘HOPE’ tattoo and arm sleeves. Funko debuted the set after band member Tom DeLonge posted an old photo of himself and the Blink-182 members, leading fans to wonder if the band’s original member would make a return to the group. Interested consumers can pre-order the anniversary edition of the Blink-182 Funko Pop! set for approximately $35 USD.
