New Slipknot Funko Pop! Figure Collection Includes Ousted Drummer Jay Weinberg

The post New Slipknot Funko Pop! Figure Collection Includes Ousted Drummer Jay Weinberg appeared first on Consequence.

A new line of Slipknot Funko Pop! figures has been announced, and somewhat surprisingly, the line features ousted drummer Jay Weinberg.

The Weinberg fig is among six in the new collection, which also includes Slipknot founder Shawn “Clown” Crahan, guitarists Jim Root and Mick Thomson, bassist Alessandro “V-Man” Venturella, and percussionist Michael “Tortilla Man” Pfaff. The set arrives in March 2024.

The inclusion of Weinberg comes after the band made the “creative decision” to part ways with the drummer in November. Weinberg later said he was “heartbroken and blindsided” by his removal, ending a near-decade stint in the band that began in 2014 and encompassed three studio albums.

It would appear that the Funko Pop! figurines were already in production before the personnel change. Even the figure’s description is outdated and still reads in the present tense: “Light up your music collection with Jay Weinberg, the drummer for the heavy metal band Slipknot!”

Slipknot fans might still want to pick up the Jay figure for posterity. After all, the first batch of Slipknot Funko Pop! figures — featuring frontman Corey Taylor and others — included programmer/sampler Craig Jones before his exit from the band.

You can pre-order the new Slipknot Funko Pop! figures via Entertainment Earth. Check out pics of the full collection below.
