Funko and Sad Salesman Bring “Animal Afternoon” to the Blonks Premium Blind Box Series!

Funko continues to dip deeper into the artist-driven collectible space, and their latest collaboration with Brooklyn-based artist Sad Salesman introduces a charming new lineup with the Blonks “Animal Afternoon” Premium Blind Box Series. This playful collection captures a peaceful moment in nature, with each character lounging, relaxing, or enjoying their surroundings in the quirky, soft-sculpted style that has become synonymous with Sad Salesman’s whimsical creations.

Each figure in the series stands approximately 4 inches tall, though heights vary slightly depending on the character and their environment-based base. The lineup features an adorable cast of animals including Honey Bee, Baby Mansnail, Fruit Bat, Platypus, Shark, Anemone, and more, each sitting atop a themed display base that enhances the relaxing “afternoon in nature” vibe. From the fruit bat perched happily on a slice of watermelon to the laid-back bee resting on a honey pot, the series leans heavily into playful storytelling and environmental details.

Collectors will be chasing down the full lineup through mystery blind box packaging, meaning each purchase contains one randomly packed figure. As with many modern blind box series, there is also a secret chase figure with a 1 in 36 rarity, adding an extra layer of excitement for those hunting the full set.

Funko is offering the series in two purchasing formats, with collectors able to grab individual blind boxes priced at $15.99 each or opt for a Premium Blind Box 6-pack priced at $94.99, which includes an assortment of six figures in sealed mystery packaging. Because of the blind box format, duplicates are possible and chase variants are shipped randomly, meaning scoring the rare figure is never guaranteed.

With its relaxing animal themes, stylized sculpting, and the unmistakable artistic influence of Sad Salesman, the Blonks “Animal Afternoon” series feels like a fun crossover between designer toy sensibilities and Funko’s expanding blind box universe… making it an easy pickup for collectors who enjoy character-driven art toys with a playful twist.
