Today Funko has officially announced the next product in the Ad Icons line with the release of Twinkie the Kid, the Hostess Twinkies mascot. Twinkie the Kid will be a common Pop available from all major retailers and specialty shops. It will also come in a 1:6 Chase variant of the same design. We have complained in the past about lazy Chases, and luckily there is enough difference between the 2 to make it worth hunting down this one. The release dates for Twinkie the Kid and Chase Funko Pops are scheduled for later this Fall (Fall 2018).
