To celebrate the 50th anniversary of “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,” Funko has revealed an adorable Mister Rogers Pop! figure and SuperCute Plush.
The kind-hearted Mister Rogers always had one question for his audience: “Won’t you be my neighbor?” The 3-inch collectible Funko Pop! figure depicts the beloved personality with his iconic cardigan and trolley car, while the SuperCute Plush offers another sweet way to bring Mister Rogers to your neighborhood.
Both the Funko Pop! figure and the SuperCute Plush become available this summer.
“Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” premiered on February 19, 1968, and in addition to the new collectibles from Funko, we can look forward to the following anniversary events:
- Back to back episodes of “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” and its spinoff “Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood” air on PBS Kids the week of February 26.
- On March 6, PBS airs “Mister Rogers: It’s You I Like,” an hour-long special hosted by Michael Keaton and featuring Whoopi Goldberg, John Lithgow, Judd Apatow, and more.
- On March 23, a commemorative Mister Rogers stamp is unveiled by the U.S. Postal Service during a ceremony in Pittsburgh, PA.
- The documentary “Won’t You Be My Neighbor” is released on June 8, and family screenings and activities will take place at The Paley Center in New York and LA in March.
