Funko Pop Alert! Wayward Son
Ever since I discovered that Funko Pop made cars (well, a few, anyway) I had the idea of possibly turning one into the vintage Mustang that Penny rented for them to drive across America in Wayward Son. I didn’t know if it would be possible but I wanted to try so I did a little googling.
The Funko Pop I used for this project was originally a piece for wrestler Eddie Guerrero. I figured the car looked vintage enough to pass, and everything else I could figure out later.
Well, the first step was removing Eddie, which proved slightly more difficult than I’d hoped. I was wiggling him to see just how attached he was to the seat and he SNAPPED OFF AT THE ANKLES. 😳 Oops.
So I grabbed some pliers and pulled out his boots. Done.
(Sorry, Eddie.)
(I ended up filling the holes in the seat with clay.)
The car they drive in Wayward Son is a 1968 Mustang in Tahoe Turquoise, as seen below.
I didn’t feel the need to go all out with super accurate detail, especially seeing as how the car itself wasn’t even a Mustang so I decided just to do a general turquoise paint job and leave it at that. And I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.
I printed out “CHOSEN1” to glue on as license plates, mimicking the patches that were sent out as preorder incentives for Wayward Son (seen below).
