All you old-school Elton John fans out there probably remember playing this Greatest Hits album, scratches and all. Well, dapper Elton John is back in vinyl, baby! This time in the form of a very detailed, charming Funko Pop.
This handsome little guy even wears that lapel pin that’s actually another handsome, even smaller guy. What’s not to love about this quite dashing Funko Pop?
I could never go onstage in denims.

We know Elton John for his melodies – and his eye-popping stage costumes. This Elton John Red, White & Blue Funko Pop is relatively subdued, but still fun and glorious. Gotta love the chest hair, too.
As a kid, I remember singing along to “The Bitch is Back” on the radio and emphasizing “bitch” because I thought it was so rebellious and funny to be able to say it with wild abandon. Because, hey – if they can play it on the radio, 9 year-olds can scream it out, as long as it’s done with a rockin’ melody.
Speaking of screaming, I am super-excited to see Elton John in concert on September 10 in Anaheim – just eleven days away! Seeing him perform all my favorite songs will throw me into fits of nostalgia. And I’m going to be the loudest once-again 9 year-old girl at the Honda Center singing “Biiitch, biiitch, the bitch is baaack!”
If you miss out on his Farewell Tour, you can still set up a Funko Pop version of the Rocketman on your piano. Cozy up to him. Maybe even lean over into his mike…sing a duet…and imagine a sold-out arena of adoring fans, holding up their flashlight-enabled cellphones while swaying to “Your Song.”

My sister, niece, and I had a fabulous time at the Elton John Farewell Tour concert last week. OMG – it was magical and fantastic, like Captain Fantastic! In fact, there was animation on the big screen based on the Captain Fantastic album cover. It was one of the highlights of the night. Totally trippy!
I hope some of you get to catch his tour while there are still a few shows left in the U.S. Totally worth it!
