Funko Pop Joy | Vice Versa figures

Joy (Inside Out)

The embodiment of joy

Joy is the physical representation of joy, so it had to be reflected in her appearance and attitude. So Funko created a figure that is perfectly faithful to the character in the movie. Joy has a slim and slender body in yellow to recall the sun. To accentuate this impression she wears a light green summer dress with a blue flower pattern. On the head, Joy has a haircut that is reminiscent of a fairy and a bright blue color to add contrast to the character. Her face is quite simple but Funko has, for once, chosen to add a smile to stay true to the attitude of the character. Finally Joy is shown with her arms wide open in a very positive attitude, as if she is ready to go on an adventure or to hug someone.

Joy at the helm

Joy is one of the main characters in the Disney Pixar cartoon Inside Out (Vice Versa). In this cartoon, the story of little Riley is told from her birth to the beginning of her adolescence through the five main emotions controlling her brain. These emotions influence Riley’s life by sending signals through a control panel and store her memories according to their importance and category. Joy has always been in control of the little girl’s brain, but when her parents get into financial trouble and have to move out of their lovely home and into the city, things get tough. Due to a series of unintentional events, Sadness and Joy find themselves away from the control center and it is Anger, Disgust and Fear that will be in charge before they can find their way back into Riley’s brain.
