Emily Haunts the Hive

Emily Haunts the Hive

Tonight the Hive dims the lights, lights a candle, and lets Emily Van Dort step into the glow. She’s more than a ghost bride — she’s a symbol of delicate horror, lingering love, and beautiful decay. Her Funko Pop! lineup captures all of that.

Let’s wander through the molds, the moments, and the mood. Because these Pops are less about “flip or hold” and more about “display with heart”.

The Cast & Curve: Emily’s Pop Lineup

Here are the figures you know (and a few you’ll want to know) — each one a little different, each one an invitation into Emily’s world.
