Vinyl Sugar is Funko's brand for projects that have a more 'art toy' styling, and it looks like it is going to produce some real beauties. First up is the Idolz line which is a collaboration with 'A Large Evil Corporation' who are based in Bath, UK and specialise in advertising and animation.

They've come up with great takes on the main characters from the comic's cult 1966 TV series Batman! Each figure stands around 20cm tall. Idolz are getting great feedback from toy and art fans alike.

They have long been making figurine sculpts for their own fun and have gathered a devoted fan-base - now some of those figures are coming to life.
