Of all the upcoming Stephen King adaptations on the way, IT: Welcome to Derry is something of an outlier, in that it’s not directly adapting one specific novel or story, and is instead an extension of the author’s literary canon that will include connections to King’s other characters and stories, while also branching out from Andy Muschietti’s two chapters of IT films. So perhaps it’s surprising that the teasers and promo footage have refrained from showcasing Bill Skarsgard’s return as Pennywise, since the entity is the biggest returning element.
Thankfully, for lack of a more fitting word, we now have our best looks yet at the clown-painted monster that feeds on Derry’s citizens, only they come not from HBO directly, but from Funko, whose IT: Welcome to Derry Pop figures will be up for pre-orders this week in anticipation of the upcoming horror TV show’s October debut. Check out a handful of the early-bird collectibles below.
