Things We Saw Today: The Flash’s Candice Patton Calls Out Funko’s Lack of Female Pop Figures

The Flash‘s Iris West, Candice Patton, is out here on the internet calling out truths. Under her ponytail. The latest truth bomb came from Patton delivering some well-deserved shade at Funko! for releasing their new line of Flash pops, which doesn’t include a single female character.

She adds in a second tweet “Missed opportunity for some kickass female characters on the show. Next time?

There honestly shouldn’t have to be a next time. Felicity has a damn pop, as well as Sara Lance in her Black Canary costume, while there is still no pop for Iris or Caitlin/Killer Frost after being leads for several seasons. Funko constantly has this problem of forgetting major female characters to give us six alternates of the same damn design. I love you Funko, but really, get it together.

• • Wow, the show everyone hate-watched, Insatiable, got renewed for a second season. It’s true, evil never really dies. Maybe it could do a crossover with 13 Reasons Why for really hardcore teen angst feels. (via Buzzfeed)
  • Dua Lipa’s concert in Shanghai took a dark turn when fans were booted from the concert and later beaten, for waving pride flags at her concert. Just a reminder of the LGBTQ struggles still going on worldwide. (via Metro)
  • Tim Allen wants to let you know he’s ‘an Anarchist’ which we already know because he killed Santa and then stole his job for like three movies. (via Vulture)
  • People are out here repping Roald Dahl on the anniversary of his birth. (via Twitter)
  • BILLY ON THE STREET IS BACK AND EMMA STONE IS HERE

It’s almost Friday!
