And Toni herself, along with Fangs, represents one of the few bisexual characters of colour onscreen today. Sure, the pair often fight rival gangs along with the occasional inter-dimensional sorcerer, but their experiences as queer people — and queer parents, no less — aren't portrayed as outlandish in the same way. Through it all, nobody has come to Veronica's defence, not even Reggie. The town is in agreement with Alice's assessment. The other members of the core four are preoccupied and in their own world, not even recognising how vital Veronica could be to their cause considering the information she provided about Percival not existing before he arrived in town. Funko Pop have helped revolutionise collectibles. The world of collecting used to be limited – there were toys for kids but not much else with deeper substance. Funko Pop reimagined what fandoms would want, creating highly stylised, sleek, and quirky vinyl figures. Everyone’s feeling the Funko – with collectible vinyl figures available in every franchise from Harry Potter to Star Wars, The Golden Girls to Britney Spears.

Part of life in Riverdale — and part of growing up — is saying goodbye to people," said Aguirre-Sacasa in a statement. Compared to the others, Veronica seems to be the character the writers have no idea what to do with or where her future is heading (aside from Kevin, of course, but he's always been the weakest link). Early seasons sidelined the likes of Kevin Keller in favour of homoerotic subtext and countless abs, but things have swiftly improved in that regard, particularly with the introduction of characters like Toni Topaz who represents one half of Riverdale's most beloved ship, #Choni. She's just tried to ignore the hurt she's feeling over the people in Riverdale, the town where she feels most at home, turning against her. Any emotions she's felt over Hiram have been suppressed by alcohol and not having anyone to truly share those feelings with. Riverdale season five will hop forward seven years, which Reinhart described as a "way of revamping" the show.In earlier seasons, most of these queer characters were sidelined to varying degrees, so it's great to see them come to the forefront more towards the end. Was that part of the reason why these storylines have come into play now, to give these characters more time to shine? Or was this just a natural evolution for the show anyway? Oh, Archiekins! Guilt. Innocence. Good. Evil. Funko Pop Riverdale has it all covered! The vinyl release includes the entire malt shop gang.

She added: "I get to play someone who's my age now and not a teenager. I'm going up in the world... I don't want to be 30 playing an 18 year old." Riverdale's final season pays homage to the classic '50s tropes that Archie Comics are often associated with, but it also subverts them too. Can you talk us through this full-circle moment and what that means for the show as it comes to an end?Funko has now expanded into more than 1,000 licensed properties from all over the entertainment universe covering everything from The Avengers to Dragon Ball Z. According to Funko’s VP of licensing and business development, Dolly Ahluwalia, ‘Evergreen and classic’ properties like Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Disney make up nearly half of all Funko Pop sales. Each character is unique and you can easily see them evolve throughout the series. Indeed, they will live adventures together and will make them mature, but also grow in stature. With each season, you'll be able to find characters that are always better built: they make decisions that don't necessarily make sense in the world we live in, but Riverdale seems to be a series where you can really escape. From real-life celebrities and idols to legendary heroes and infamous villains, from your fave characters and much-loved protagonists to ad icons and niche pop-culture references—there's no limit to the Funko stuff we've got waiting for you in this collection! No matter what you love, there's a Funko fan-favorite in here that's got your name on it. Our advice? Start your Funko-lovin’ engines and get to scrolling—we're sure you're gonna love what you find.

But there's a catch. And no, we don't mean the whole sapphic possession thing. Cheryl might be able to stop the comet, but this could use up all her power, which means that some of her resurrected friends in the town could die again, permanently.There was this idea of: "Were we going to present an idealised version of the '50s where everyone was living their best lives?" Even later, after Reggie takes care of his father's debt and arranges a new deal, he completely shuts Veronica down when she tries to inquire about the situation, throwing in a low blow during their conversation once again to purposefully make her feel bad.
