'American Horror Story: Freak Show' Premieres Tomorrow Night!

Don't forget to watch the return of 'American Horror Story' tomorrow at 10pm on FX!

Review: Funko Pop!: Tate Langdon from 'American Horror Story'

Review: Funko Pop!: 'American Horror Story: Coven'

Based on the third season of American Horror Story, Funko has released the Coven in all its glory in Pop! form!

First up, we have the HBIC, Fiona Goode.

To make her even more of a badass, Hot Topic has spattered her with blood!

Next up is her daughter and current Supreme, Cordelia Foxx.

Hot Topic has an exclusive of her, too, and it's an eyeless, eerie representation of this great character.

The sculpt on this figure is spectacular and I think she is the prettiest Pop! I've seen yet.

New Orlean's resident Voodoo Queen, Marie Laveau, comes complete with her albino snake and all the attitude of her character. 

Myrtle Snow, the mousy but devious and complex head of the Witches Council is perfectly accurate to the show.

Stevie Nicks' biggest fan, Misty Day, is colorful and detailed, just like her character on the show. 

Reis O'Brien designed and sculpted  the entire AHS line. I am OBSESSED! Follow him on Instagram and Twitter @ReisOBrien

The Coven plus Rubber Man (check out his review here!) on display.

Upcoming Hot Topic Exclusive Funko Pop! Vinyl Figures

Review: Funko Pop!: Rubber Man from 'American Horror Story'

The first Pop! released from American Horror Story in my area is Rubber Man, from the first installment of the creepy, hit anthology series on FX. 

Painted to look like shiny black latex, this is an AWESOME Pop! and very representative of the Murder House of Season 1. I love all the details of this vinyl figure; there's even "ear bumps" on the sides of the Pop! which really gives the feel that there is somebody zipped into the skin-tight sex suit. (I'm going to pretend that it's Ben, because there's been no Pop! announced of him yet sadly.)

I can't wait til the remainder of the series becomes available!
