Entertainment Earth has just revealed an exclusive limited edition Funko Pop! vinyl figure 2-pack that features a classic Spider-Man moment, which in turn went on to become an incredibly popular meme in recent years.
The Spider-Man Imposter Pop! 2-pack features two bobblehead Funko Spider-Man characters with a background insert to perfectly mimic the frequently shared meme. This incredible new set is available for pre-order from Entertainment Earth for $24.99 in a window box ready to display for fans of the wall-crawler.
The 2-pack set is based on the classic Spider-Man animated episode "Double Identity" from the 1967 hit cartoon that aired over three seasons and featured the unforgettable theme song that has become a mainstay in pop culture. "Double Identity" aired as the second part of a two-episode block and followed "To Catch A Spider," which was overstuffed with villains and the typical campy action of the series, unlike the following episode that would become much more well-known.
Over the course of "Double Identity," a man named Charles Cameo and his bodyguard Brutus are a pair of thieves who use disguises and subterfuge to carry out their crimes. Cameo first stole a valuable manuscript using the disguise of Peter Parker, and when the pair of thieves are baited by J. Jonah Jameson into a crime, Cameo appears wearing an exact replica of Spider-Man's costume.
When Spider-Man himself arrives on the scene, both characters point at each other and claim the other Spider-Man is an imposter; years later, the scene would be recreated as an incredibly successful meme. However, the "Double Identity" scene replicated by the new Funko Pop! 2-pack would also appear in 2018's Academy Award-winning animated film Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, further increasing its pop-culture footprint by introducing fans of a whole new generation to the classic Spidey moment.
Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse featured a post-credit scene that introduced yet another version of Spider-Man to the film, as Miguel O'Hara/Spider-Man 2099 (voiced hilariously by Oscar Isaac) arrived on screen and explained his plans to independently travel through the multiverse. The futuristic Spider-Man equipped his multiversal travel device and announced he was heading back to the beginning: Earth-67.
Fans were surprised to see Spider-Man 2099 appear in the classic Spider-Man animated series, and even more surprised to see that he was featured in a very particular scene from "Double Identity." Miguel arrived in the place of the real Spider-Man from the original series and proceeded to launch into a hilarious pointing war with the imposter that launched another series of memes while also potentially setting up a sequel for Into the Spider-Verse, which will arrive in theaters on October 7, 2022.
Whether fans love the original episode, the resulting memes, or the scenes' re-appearance in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, thankfully they can now bring home this amazing Spider-Man Imposter 2-pack set and add it to their collection to celebrate the iconic moment. But remember, it's a limited edition and will likely fly off the shelves.
