The figurines are clad in preppy, casual outfits and colourful hairstyles that the members wore in a photo shoot for their album Love Yourself: Answer.

Funko is known for producing vinyl figurines and bobbleheads depicting iconic characters from comic books, cartoons, and other major pop culture entities.

BTS joins the likes of NSYNC and Backstreet Boys who will also be getting their own line of Funko dolls this year.

It’s not the first time the South Korean boyband has ventured into the world of toys and figurines.

In January, the group announced a collaboration with Mattel, the manufacturer behind the famous Barbie, to work on a line of fashion dolls, figurines, games, and more.
