Every Mulan Collectible You'll Ever Need
Mulan (in Chinese:è±æ¨å ° or Hua Mulan) is one of the most iconic women in ancient and modern China. Her name, which means flower and magnolia, has been a symbol of China since olden times.
Mulan's story originated from ancient texts and is connected to China's 4th or 5th century AD. It was later retold in a famous folk song The Ballad of Mulan.
The ballad, which consists of 31 couplets, tells the tale of a girl named Mulan who volunteered herself as her father's "son" to prevent her ailing father from enlisting in the war.
Mulan stayed in the military for ten years and gained high merit for her work. She also fell in love with an officer name Jin Yong (Sorry Shang shippers) with whom she fell in love with.
Disney turned the ballad into the 1998 animated classic we know and love today. In celebration of the recent live-action adaptation of the movie (which follows the ballad wholeheartedly), here is every Mulan collectible you'll ever need.

Funko Pop Mulan Collectible
Start a quirky Funko Pop collection with this Pop Vinyl Mulan which is Funko Pop's 323rd figurine. The figurine is detailed down to the hair strands. It also embraces Mulan's adorable personality as well as her empowering femme vibe.
Funko Pop even included Mulan's cheat sheet on her arm, her golden fan, and her grandmother's lucky cricket during the scene with the matchmaker. They even designed Mulan with two skin tones---her face has makeup, while her body is painted in the Asian tone. Who doesn't love that scene anyway?
