Later to the party than the likes of Angry Birds and Plants vs. Zombies, Bolt Creative has announced a deal with Funko to launch a range of plush toys based on Pocket God's Pygmies.

The new figurines will launch this September, with 5-inch vinyl Pygmies, a stylised plush toy and 2.5 inch blind box figurines completing the line up.

Big for Bolt

"Our fans are constantly submitting their latest self-made toy, drawing, or animation," said head of business development at Bolt Creative Jean Mathews.

"This deal is our latest milestone for the Pocket God franchise in our aggressive 2012 plans to continue fulfilling the pygmy craze."

Funko president Brian Mariotti said the company "couldn't wait to share these [figurines] with the community."

"The Funko team are big fans of Pocket God and had a blast designing and building the models and prototypes for our upcoming lines of Pocket God vinyl figurines and plushies."
