And now for something a little different…

Funko POP have revealed their new Dungeons and Dragons Mimic. Sculpted in a typical Funko style, this devious Mimic has taken the form of a treasure chest, and is ready to devour its next victim. It also features an exclusive D20!

This fun new collectible will be released this forthcoming Tuesday. See the Funko POP News Facebook page for more details.
