I haven't made it out to Coco yet but Disney's PR people (seriously) sent me an Ernesto! I can't speak to the movie, but I can say the figure's pretty spiffy - Funko has been cranking up its level of detail lately and there's a lot more in the way of fancy designs on this figure. Day of the Dead stuff has been making the rounds in the collectible area for years, from nesting dolls to PPW to some pretty awesome The Nightmare before Christmas Jack and Sally redeco figures.
This is a heavy figure - it's also taller thanks to the head and hat. The 5 1/2-inch figure departs from the movie deisgn slightly with a much broader head, plus it distances itself from the typical Pop! figure. The boy Miguel's figure is a human face painted like a skull, but Ernesto is an actual skeleton - so there are visible cheekbones, teeth, and a mustache. Sure, why not, it looks cool. These figures are generally sculpted in 3-D software and it seems this allows them to sneak in some nifty details that I doubt we'd see 30 years ago. You can barely see it, but the body is a bare skeleton in a jacket. There's a lot of hollow space in there which you can see if you hold it up to a bright light. A guitar is sculpted to the hand, and it looks like there's a place in the stand for it - but there's no peg on the guitar. I don't know why else the extra indentation in the stand would be present.
The actual narrative reason for diverging from the normal head design makes for an interesting designer figure, but it retains the glossy eyes - in this case, white eyes - set inside a black void in the skull. The head is a different shade of white, with grey designs all over. The hat also has an amazingly intricate faux-stitching on the brim, plus tassles around the hat. He has a bow tie, a swell suit, glossy grey shoes, and one of the better overall paint jobs on an animated Funko figure. This isn't a colorful release, but you can see a lot of work went into it and little things like white streaks in the hair show that Funko is not content to cheap out. Or Disney-Pixar has strong licensor approvals. Take your pick - either way, it's a pretty fancy figure for ten bucks.
The dead are rarely depicted as friendly, singing happy family members without some sort of craving for human flesh. It's a charming design with a fancy belt buckle and all the copyright information stamped into the bottom of the skull, under the chin and also just under the hair. Funko's Mystery Minis are a much more accurate rendition of Pixar's intricate designs, but the stylized Pop! figure reigns supreme still. You'll no doubt see a few minor imperfections, but I'm surprised to see all the stitching on the hat. And the markings on the skull. And hte streaks in the hair. Nice job. Now I guess I have to see the movie.
