A vinyl Pop! figurine in the likeness of Orlando shooting victim Luis Vielma was made to preserve his memory.
Vielma, 22, was one of the 49 people killed during the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida on June 12.
Vielma was an employee at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at the Universal Studios theme park, so the Pop! doll features Vielma in Gryffindor-house attire, wand in hand.
The maker of the figurine, Brandon Anderson, of Colorado Springs, Colorado told The Huffington Post that he made the custom creation after reading a post on a Funko Pop! Facebook page he’s on. The post suggested that someone should make a tribute figurine for Vielma. Anderson did not know Vielma personally.
The Pop! site allows anyone to order blank figurines for DIY customization. This iteration was made by Anderson solely for friends and family of Vielma as a tribute, so it won’t be sold to the masses out of respect for them. He is currently attempting to get ahold of the family to give it to them.
We reached out Pop! and they had this to say of the creation:
“Our thoughts are with Luis, his family, and everyone touched by the tragedy in Orlando.”
Can we please stop making scary shark movies? Sharks are pure sweet babies that don’t deserve this slander. They just have bad eyesight. Don’t be mean to them.
I NEED EVERYONE WHO LOOKS AT THEIR GODDAMN DASHBOARD TONIGHT TO KNOW THAT IN THE ORIGINAL LEGEND, PART OF THE REASON ROBIN HOOD LOVED MAID MARIAN IS THAT SHE WAS OUT ADVENTURING, DRESSED AS A MAN, AND BESTED HIM IN COMBAT
AND THEN JOINED HIS MERRY MEN
ROBIN HOOD HAD NO EQUAL WITH A SWORD EXCEPT FOR MAID GODDAMN MARIAN
AND IF THAT ISN’T THE MOST BADASS THING YOU’VE HEARD TODAY I DON’T WANNA FUCK WITH YOU
You’ve got to read the new comic book series called “Merry Men,” published by Oni Press. Maid Marian is a trans woman, and Robin and the merry men are gay and bisexual men who have taken refuge in Sherwood Forest after Prince John has outlawed homosexuality. The first issue came out last week and it’s fantastic!
Last week, Manning’s appeal was lodged with the US army court of criminal appeals in Virginia. It calls for a reduction of the “grossly unfair and unprecedented” sentence to 10 years, noting pointedly that David Petraeus, the former CIA director who passed classified information to his biographer and then lover, was fined and given two years’ probation with no prison time.
Nancy Hollander, the lead lawyer on Manning’s appeal, called the conviction and sentence “one of the most unjust in military history”. The legal team is awaiting the US government’s response to the appeal filing; it will then prepare to argue the case for a sentence reduction in front of the appeals court.
