Kids can collect a variety of superhero toys from Funko but the newest Pop! vinyl figurine pays tribute to real-life heroes in the form of Australia's courageous firefighters. All of the proceeds from the newest Funko Pop! will benefit the RSPCA National Bushfire Appeal, which works with the government and local authorities to provide supplies, equipment and emergency care. As a result of the devastating fires in Australia, it's been estimated that a billion animals like kangaroos and koalas have died while trying to flee.
