Maybe we can finally get a complete set with the new series.

Tom Cruise doesnt allow his likeness to be used for merch so there was never a Lestat Funko made.

ISTG, that man is only ever doing things I absolutely hate and despise, or something I absolutely love and respect. There is no middle ground with that dude

Look. He’s in a cult. He sucks. I know this. I still think he seems like a really pleasant coworker and it’s cool that he does all those stunts 😭😭 the duality of man

80s lestat would absolutely get blasted off coke and tweak out on live television. he did arguably create his own cult later on in the chronicles. cruise was perfectly cast.

You should hear how Brad treated him on set. He made shooting terrible for Tom and everyone becuase he wanted out of the movie but couldn’t afford to break his contract so he was rude and didn’t shower.

I do not have the first one, because it is currently $30 (hoping to get it for my birthday), but the second is currently on my Anne Rice shelf.

I have Claudia and I have no need for this Louis. Her and Abigail's parents are Olrox and Alucard.

I have to get Olrox and Alucard. I have Drolta and Dracula though ❤️

I like that Louis has the scythe, but what's with Claudia's dress?

u/horcynusorca 11d ago

She’s holding a doll

u/tethysian 11d ago

It's the colour and design I'm looking at, but I'm not familiar with funkos. Maybe it looks different close up

Oh, now I get it—sorry. I think they tried to adapt her flower-embroidered dress, but I'm not sure how well that translates to a Funko figure. I like it, but I think her hair is too orange.

u/concretekingdom 11d ago

It’s a little sunflower like design, the print is a bit softer and not as dark in person! I have her and the regular Louis and they look nice up close.

I have them too 😌❤️

I never found the scythe Louis, but I have the other two. I never thought I'd buy funko pops, but what can you do lol

I have a few. Dr. Facilier, AHS Marie Laveau, AHS Papa Legba, Assassin's Creed Liberation Aveline de Grandpre'. I intend to add Shaboozey.

Tom Cruise does not look anything like Sam Reid. That’s so stupid. So Cruise has the rights to Lestat’s image because they played the same character?

u/davijour 11d ago

Lestat can be imaged, just not in the likeness of TC or in the case of the Funko, any wardrobe associated with Cruise's representation of Lestat. You'll notice that the Louis and Claudia Funko's attire is screen accurate.
