Stephen King’s dog Molly, The Thing of Evil, gets Funko Pop of her own

Stephen King’s dog Molly, known as The Thing of Evil, gets a Funko Pop of her own.

Stephen King’s dog Molly, known to his Twitter followers as The Thing of Evil (which sounds like what would Parks and Recreation’s April Ludgate-Dwyer (Aubrey Plaza) have named Champion if she’d had the chance) now has a Funko Pop of her own.

Well, sort of.

As ComicBook.com reports, Molly is featured in one of the two new Stephen King Funko Pops that debuted exclusively for pre-order at locations Books-A-Million this week. They are selling for $14.99, and should arrive in September or October, just in time for Halloween shenanigans.

Molly is a Cardigan Welsh Corgi who often appears on King’s Twitter feed. She is a very opinionated little doggo.

Besides the Molly one, there is another figurine of King holding a book in one hand and one of Pennywise the clown’s red balloons in the other, since King, of course, wrote IT, which was recently made into two parts of a film adaptation.

These figurines are part of the Funkoween celebration, which also features new figurines from the 1990 Tim Burton-directed satirical Gothic comedy Edward Scissorhands and the horror franchise Child’s Play (where Plaza starred in the most recent entry).

Some of the other dogs from TV shows, movies and literature that have gotten the Funko Pop treatment include Ghost the Direwolf from Game of Thrones, John Wick and his pit bull, and Scooby-Doo.

Stephen King often includes dogs in his books, not on the level of someone like Dean Koontz, but still, it’s a good trait that helps add character and depth to the worlds. This seems like a good way to honor that.

Would you want to get a Molly Funko Pop figurine for your shelf to have Stephen King’s dog accompany your collection of his novels?
