Donald Glover has spent years growing his career to become one of the most celebrated creators of the last decade. He was a writer on the comedy 30 Rock, then moved on to a starring role in the fan favorite series Community as Troy Barnes. These days, he's best known for his music career as Childish Gambino as well as the FX series Atlanta.

It follows Earn, played by Glover, a Princeton dropout who is trying to get his cousin's rap career off the ground. Glover, Zazie Beetz, Brian Tyree Henry and Lakeith Stanfield have all had stand out performances as regulars on the series.

To some, Atlanta might not seem like an obvious choice for the Funko treatment but it is. As one of the best shows on TV, it certainly would have fans interested in a Pop! Vinyl line but its visual style also means cool variants of each of the characters.
