Let’s break down why these Martian figures are worth adding to your shelves and why they’ll have you saying, “Ack ack!”
Martian Soldier (1877): The Classic Invader
The Character
The Martian Soldier is the foot soldier of the alien army, leading the charge in their ridiculous (and ultimately doomed) attempt to conquer Earth. With their grotesquely oversized brains, skeletal faces, and hilarious gibberish language, the Martian Soldiers became an instant pop culture hit. Whether they’re zapping humans with their ray guns or gleefully waving their skeletal hands, these little green men are the epitome of absurd extraterrestrial fun.
The Funko Design
This Funko Pop perfectly captures the unsettling yet comical vibe of the Martian Soldier. From the bulbous brain (complete with green glow effect) to the wide, toothy grin, every detail screams Mars Attacks! nostalgia. The figure is dressed in the Martian’s signature turquoise space suit with purple accents, giving it that retro-futuristic charm that fans of the movie adore.
The oversized brain is especially eye-catching—it’s textured, vibrant, and makes this figure stand out on any shelf. And let’s not forget the gleeful pose, as if the Martian Soldier is ready to say, “Ack ack! Take me to your leader!” This Pop is a must-have for fans of quirky sci-fi, offering a perfect blend of humor and nostalgia.
Martian Soldier (with Gun, 1877): Locked, Loaded, and Dangerous
The Character
If the standard Martian Soldier is their charming, goofy self, the Martian Soldier (with gun) is here to bring the heat—literally. Armed with their signature ray gun, this version of the Martian Soldier represents the chaos and destruction they gleefully unleash in Mars Attacks!. Whether they’re blasting buildings or vaporizing Earthlings, this Martian is all about causing over-the-top mayhem.
The Funko Design
This variant cranks up the action with the addition of the Martian’s iconic ray gun. The bright blue-and-red weapon is an excellent nod to the film’s retro aesthetics and contrasts perfectly with the Martian’s colorful suit. The pose is dynamic, with the Martian confidently brandishing their weapon, ready to wreak havoc.
The brain still steals the show, glowing with eerie green highlights that give it a radioactive vibe. It’s the same delightfully grotesque design as the original Martian Soldier, but the addition of the gun makes this figure perfect for anyone who wants a touch of sci-fi chaos in their collection. If you’re a fan of action-packed displays, this figure is ready to invade your shelves.
Martian Ambassador (1874): The Diplomat of Doom
The Character
The Martian Ambassador is a highlight of Mars Attacks!, bringing diplomacy (or a lack thereof) to Earth with his flamboyant red robes and sinister charm. This character might look like he’s here to make peace, but don’t be fooled—his glowing green brain and toothy grin hide a penchant for destruction. Fans of the movie will remember his hilarious antics, from his faux peace offerings to his surprise attack during the infamous Congressional scene.
The Funko Design
The Martian Ambassador Funko Pop is dripping with personality. Dressed in an elaborate, shimmering red robe with gold details, the Ambassador’s outfit screams retro sci-fi glam. The robe flows dramatically, giving the figure a regal yet comical look, perfectly capturing the character’s over-the-top flair.
Of course, the brain remains the pièce de résistance. The Ambassador’s oversized brain is rendered with Funko’s signature attention to detail, complete with neon green highlights that seem to pulse with alien energy. The expression is priceless—those hollow eyes, the sly grin—it’s as if he’s plotting his next hilarious attack. This Pop is a conversation starter and a centerpiece for any collector who loves the outrageous humor of Mars Attacks!.
