First, let’s talk about the little figures included in the new Funko POPs for Deadpool and Wolverine. Joining a mischievous looking Deadpool is a deteriorating Deadpool head known as Headpool. Coming from the weirdest side of the ever-odd Deadpool series from Marvel Comics, this is what remains of a zombie version of Deadpool, after losing the rest of his body. As you can see, his mask is tattered and his skull exposed, and he’s wearing one of those old school helicopter hats. It’s a pretty strange inclusion from the comics, but the real fun will be hearing who might voice Headpool (unless it’s just Ryan Reynolds). Equally strangely, Wolverine arrives with Babypool, who is exactly what he sounds like: a baby version of Deadpool with a cute pacifier.

Moving on to slightly older characters, we have Dogpool, who can be seen in the trailer sucking on Deadpool’s mask in slow motion. But more interesting is Kidpool, who is an alternate version of Wade Wilson, where he was a troubled kid at Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters. Marvel says, “Wilson appeared to suffer from ‘conduct disorder,’ evidenced by his great difficulty following rules and behaving in a socially acceptable manner,” and while he was awaiting detention after inciting a riot at the spring dance, Deadpool appeared and told Kidpool that he was needed to help save the multiverse. Perhaps that’s exactly what’s coming in “Deadpool & Wolverine.”
What are the odds that Kidpool is played by Walker Scobell, the kid actor who played a young version of Ryan Reynolds in Shawn Levy’s “The Adam Project”? So far, we know Kidpool is wearing a homemade suit, as evidenced by the seam down the center of his head and his sneakers. And of course, he’s only wielding water guns.
