Trick or Treat Through 31 Days of Toy Terror: Sylvester #1675 from POP! Animation: Looney Tunes by Funko

 "Sufferin' succotash!" Halloween is getting nearer and nothing goes together better than jack o' lanterns and black cats. So how about one for today's spooky review? Well, at least we've got a jack o' lantern and a tuxedo cat. Yes, today we're taking a look at Sylvester J. Pussycat Sr. and a fantastic Halloween jack o' lantern that he's been using as a hiding place. Perhaps he was curled up in here waiting for Tweety? Sylvester is from a Halloween series of Looney Tunes from the Funko POP! Animation line and he's just such a fun toy that I had to pick him up. He's from 2024 (and was released alongside of a ghostly version of Bugs Bunny, a mummy Marvin the Martian, and a witch version of Tweety) but I actually found him at regular retail this year despite being listed as "vaulted" on Funko's website. Looney Tunes has had a great year in 2026 with the popularity of Coyote Vs. Acme and while Sylvester only had a small cameo, it was still nice to see this classic brand have an incredibly fun and well receive film. Of course, I bought this guy because he's coming out of a pumpkin. I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff. Let's check out Sylvester after the break...

The Facts:

Height: 5 inches (to the top of the stem)

Articulation: Swivel head. 

Accessories: None

Year of Release: 2024

Original Retail Price: $11 to $16 dollars

The Positives:

* If you're someone who hates Funko POP! vinyls, sees them as the decline of Western civilization, and berates anyone who buys them, you might want to skip this review. I'm not a fan of every POP! as some of them are quite boring, but some, like Sylvester here, are pretty interesting. I love that the jack o' lantern is the base of the figure and how Sylvester is clearly larger than the interior of the pumpkin. It's a fantastic cartoon aesthetic! He has a swivel head, so you can pose him a bit.

* This is such a fun Sylvester portrait. It's interesting that they went with white eyes, though it does ensure that his eyes are visible against his black fur and it makes him look a bit more frightening. Sylvester looks kind of fierce here, doesn't he? I wouldn't usually think of him as fierce but, dang, he does look rather intense. The proportions are quite nice and exaggerated, making him look just a bit unhinged. If this puddy tat popped up, you can kind of understand why Tweety might be afraid of him.

* The jack o' lantern looks great. I love the classic face that's quite friendly and simple. It's basic and classic, reminding me of the trick or treat pails that everyone had as a kid until they graduated to pillow cases.  

* Here's a shot from the back to show off the effect of Sylvester popping out of the top of the pumpkin. I really like how he still has the lid of the pumpkin stuck on his head, kind of like you're seeing him just as he has popped out. 

* Sylvester's sharp claws really add a lot to his look. I love how they're visible here rather than just being standard rounded fingers. 

   This guy is just a really fun Funko POP! vinyl. The design of the full figure is really well done, the orange of the jack o' lantern adds some welcome color to Sylvester, and the entire sculpt has a lot of personality. I love that Funko seems to have more freedom to do weird stuff like this than a lot of other companies can. This is one of the few POP! vinyl figures I've purchased this year but it's unusual and fun concepts like this from them that grab my attention. I'm giving Sylvester a Great. He's a super fun toy and a delightful, colorful little piece for your Halloween collection. 

That's all, folks!

This is the first toy of Sylvester that I've reviewed on the site. For more POP! Animation reviews check out the following:
