Funko recreates one of the most recognisable scenes from *A Christmas Story* with this POP! Movies figurine (No. 2143), featuring Ralphie Parker in his famous pink rabbit costume. This version features a flocked finish, which covers certain surfaces with a soft, velvety coating to enhance the fabric-like appearance of the outfit. The figurine measures approximately 12.2 cm.
Ralphie is depicted fully dressed in the costume given to him by his Aunt Clara: a full-body pink jumpsuit, long rabbit ears, a hood and matching slippers. His rather unenthusiastic expression deliberately contrasts with the outfit’s exaggeratedly cute appearance and captures the humour of the original scene. The flocked finish is the main feature of this edition and sets this POP! apart from the classic smooth vinyl versions.
Funko’s design retains the characteristic proportions of the POP! range, with an oversized head and a simplified silhouette. The uniform pink of the outfit is punctuated by white and black details on the slippers and face, whilst the large ears accentuate the instantly recognisable silhouette of this version of Ralphie.
Presented in an illustrated window box featuring the colours of *A Christmas Story*, this figurine can be displayed with or without its packaging. It joins the same wave as Ralphie with soap, Scut Farkus and Randy Parker, allowing you to bring together several iconic scenes and characters from the film in a single collection.

Character background and lore
A Christmas Story is a Christmas comedy released in 1983, centred on Ralphie Parker, a young boy living with his family in the American Midwest around 1940. As Christmas approaches, Ralphie is single-mindedly determined to achieve one goal: to receive a Red Ryder air rifle, despite repeated warnings from adults who consider it too dangerous.
The rabbit costume appears on Christmas morning amongst Ralphie’s many presents. Handmade by his Aunt Clara, it is a full-body pink jumpsuit with a hood, rabbit ears and rabbit slippers. Ralphie is particularly embarrassed when asked to put it on in front of his family, especially as the outfit is a far cry from the image he wishes to project.
His father quickly realises how uncomfortable he is and jokes about the costume’s extravagant appearance before persuading his mother to let him take it off. This short sequence has become one of the most famous visual gags in *A Christmas Story*, on a par with the leg-shaped lamp, the tongue stuck to the frozen pole, or the soap punishment.
The POP! Movies No. 2143 captures this moment perfectly, depicting Ralphie in the pink outfit given to him by his aunt. The flocked finish particularly enhances the figurine’s design, giving the costume a look that resembles soft, fluffy fabric.
