Just a few days ago, Cars 3 unveiled its first full-length trailer, and it sent the Internet buzzing.
And now that the film's marketing campaign seems to be well underway ahead of its June release date, fans are getting their first look at some of the toys and memorabilia for the film. And of course, as many popular franchises do, Cars 3 is getting the Funko treatment.
The popular action figure company has unveiled their line of Pop! vinyl figures for Cars 3. While this may seem like an unconventional choice - considering the fact that Funko Pops are best known for big heads and small bodies - this is actually the second Cars-related line from Funko, with the first debuting in 2015.
The Cars 3 line will include two 'common' Pop! figures; of the franchise's protagonist, Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson), as well as new character Cruz Ramirez (Cristela Alonso).
The line will also feature figures of the tire shop-owning duo Luigi and Guido, both of which will be exclusive to Walmart stores. And finally, there will be two variants of Lightning McQueen - one 'chrome' exclusive from Target, and a grey version from Meijer grocery stores.
If you're hoping to score this line of Pops before Cars 3's release date, they are set to hit store shelves in May. But judging by the number of exclusives in this line, get ready for a mini road trip to collect them all.

Blindsided by a new generation of blazing-fast racers, the legendary Lightning McQueen (voice of Owen Wilson) is suddenly pushed out of the sport he loves. To get back in the game, he will need the help of an eager young race technician, Cruz Ramirez (voice of Cristela Alonzo), with her own plan to win, plus inspiration from the late Fabulous Hudson Hornet and a few unexpected turns. Proving that #95 isn't through yet will test the heart of a champion on Piston Cup Racing's biggest stage!
The voice cast also features Armie Hammer as Jackson Storm, Larry The Cable Guy as Mater, Bonnie Hunt as Sally Carrera, Cheech Marin as Ramone, Michael Wallis as Sheriff, and Paul Dooley Sarge.
Directed by Brian Fee (storyboard artist Cars, Cars 2) and produced by Kevin Reher (A Bug's Life, La Luna short), Cars 3 cruises into theaters on June 16, 2017.
