On Boxing Day, my friend Ronsee texted me to see if I was interested in any of the new BTS Funko POP! figures because he was at the mall and Funko figures were on sale for Buy 3, Get 1 Free. He had sent me a photo and I saw that the new figures were themed after BTS' PROOF album. I was genuinely surprised because I didn't even know Funko had come out with new BTS figures after the "Butter" ones launched in 2022. (To be fair, I haven't really been paying attention to Twitter recently, which is where I would get all of my BTS merch news.) So I asked Ronsee if they had all seven members available because I buy all seven or none. Unfortunately, the store he was at was missing two of the members, so I immediately went online to do some searching and found them all available through Amazon.

Funko POP! BTS PROOF Vinyl Figures
These mark the fourth official Funko POP! BTS figure collaboration, with "Dynamite," "IDOL," and "Butter" preceding it. This is the first BTS collaboration with Funko that is themed after an album rather than a single. All seven figures come individually packaged in black and red boxes with clear cellophane windows in the front. The BTS logo is on the front of the box and the PROOF logo is on the back. These should be available for sale now at all retailers selling Funko figures both offline and online, however, I got mine for $17.89 CAD each on Amazon.ca. (For reference, the cheapest I've seen them here is $16.99 CAD each and the most expensive is $29.99 CAD each.)
As I mentioned, these are the first figures in the BTS x Funko collaboration to be themed after a full album rather than a single. While the "Dynamite" and "Butter" figures were styled from their respective music videos, these figures feature the same hair colours, poses, and outfits from the Door concept from BTS' PROOF album.
Most Funko retailers, both offline and online, that are carrying these figures seem to be missing or are sold out of at least one member. So if looking to collect these and live in Canada but you're OT7 like me, your best bet to find all seven at a fair price is actually Amazon. (However, if you live in the US, you can find order them easily off the official Funko website without paying atrocious exchange rates, shipping prices, or duties.)
