Features of the Funko Jude Duarte The Wicked King POP! Books 51 figure

Simply surviving in Elfhame as a human would already be difficult enough, but Jude Duarte was never particularly interested in keeping her head down and staying out of trouble. This Funko static figure brings one of Holly Black's best-known literary heroines to the shelf, capturing the ambition, determination and strategic mind that make Jude such an important character within the world of The Folk of the Air. When everyday life involves dangerous faeries, court politics and conversations where almost everyone is hiding something, becoming skilled with a sword and learning the art of espionage starts to sound less like over-preparation and more like basic survival.

Jude was taken away from the mortal world as a child and raised in the High Court of Faerie alongside her sisters. Growing up among immortal beings constantly reminds her that she is human, vulnerable and considered inferior by many of those around her. Rather than accepting the role chosen for her, however, Jude trains herself to fight, observes the political games of the court and learns how to use information as effectively as any blade. During The Wicked King, her complicated relationship with Cardan Greenbriar places her at the centre of a dangerous struggle for control, where alliances rarely stay simple and trusting the wrong person can have spectacularly unpleasant consequences.

Produced by Funko, this collectible belongs to the POP! Books No. 51 range and transforms Jude into the instantly recognisable stylised format associated with the series. The piece is a static PVC figure measuring approximately 9 cm tall, making it suitable for displaying on a bookshelf, inside a cabinet or next to the fantasy novels that somehow keep multiplying even though you promised not to buy any more until finishing your current reading pile. It is based on the licensed world of The Wicked King and designed with fans of Holly Black's fantasy series in mind.

It is a particularly fitting collectible for readers who enjoy young adult fantasy, political intrigue and protagonists who refuse to let a lack of supernatural powers stop them from challenging considerably more dangerous opponents. Jude's greatest weapons have always been her intelligence, resilience and willingness to play the same ruthless games as the faeries surrounding her. Whether you admired every calculated decision she made or spent half the novel mentally begging her to reconsider her next move, this POP! Books version gives the mortal schemer of Elfhame a permanent place among your collection. Thankfully, displaying her requires considerably fewer secrets, betrayals and royal manipulations than surviving the High Court itself.
