Price: $11.95 • Rating: 4.7/5 (309 ratings)
Overview
If you’ve ever dreamed of having Bill Rizer’s pixelated biceps on your desk—minus the 8-bit reload lag—this 3¾-inch Funko Pop! vinyl is your MVP. Moreover, it comes boxed, ready to escort your coffee mug through the toughest boss phases of the morning commute.
Key Specs
- Stylized collectible of Bill Rizer from the classic Contra franchise
- Measures 3¾ inches tall—perfect for squad-up shelf displays
- Window display box keeps your Pop pristine (no mystery finger smudges)
- Package weight: 0.14 kg—light enough to dodge any surprise turret fire
Why It’s a Must-Have
Sure, this vinyl figure won’t grant you the Spread or Laser power-ups in real life. However, it will remind you to mash A+B when life throws a Gauntlet-style bullet hell your way. In fact, you can think of it as a mini motivational coach—minus the annoying motivational quotes.
As a display tip, place Bill next to a Fire Power-themed poster. Consequently, you’ll feel like you’re about to sprint through an alien fortress. Instant nostalgia buff, zero side-scrolling required.
Gamer Strategy Moment
While Bill Rizer’s signature twin-shot rattles off marauding aliens in-game, this Pop is more of a “defensive play.” For example, position him near your monitor so he can glare down any stray browser tabs promising “just one more loot box.” Therefore, consider it a tactical denial strategy—headshots optional.
Customer Snippets
- “Contra!” – William (5/5): Operation Galuga hype IRL!
- “Great” – Zach & Atayzia (5/5): Looks sharp and box arrived flawless.
- “Favorite NES game” – Jason (5/5): Snagged these Pops cheaper than retail—no cheat codes needed.
Final Thoughts
Ultimately, if you’ve shelled out quarters at the arcade and survived the Stage 3 drop ship, you owe it to yourself to recruit this Pop! Bill to your retro army. As a result, the hype level lands somewhere between maximum nostalgia and over-earnest trailer roast.
