Reba McEntire is getting her very own Funko Pop! The country icon teamed with Funko to debut a limited-edition Pop! vinyl available for pre-order starting on Tuesday (Sept. 24).
To celebrate the Season 26 premiere of The Voice, McEntire gifted her team with a special Pop! collectible on air. While the Pop! vinyl won’t be available for purchase, McEntire didn’t want fans to miss out on the chance to have their own Funko Pop!, so she collaborated with Funko for the limited release, which pays homage to her 1993 CMT appearance.
“I’m so excited to kick off my collaboration with Funko! My fans have been asking for this and we’re starting off with ‘The Red Dress’ that I wore on the 1993 CMA Awards,” McEntire said in a statement to Billboard. “I always said I got more press off that dress than if I’d won an award that night. Over 30 years later, it’s still making headlines!”

The Pop Rocks: Reba McEntire Funko ($15) features a gorgeously, detailed recreation of the red gown that McEntire wore for her 1993 CMA Awards performance. The Funko Pop! is available exclusively at Funko.com from Sept. 24 until Nov. 1.
“Every designer dreams of creating iconic moments, and to have done it with Reba at the 1993 CMA Awards is a memory for the ages,” said designer Sandy Spika Borchetta. “I’ll never forget that moment when the curtains opened and we heard a literal gasp from the audience! I thought I’d be fired! Instead, the press Reba received the next day, from coast to coast, was inescapable. Reba had won the night in more ways than one and she was the leading story for the CMA Awards. What a joy for all of us that people still talk about, ‘The Red Dress.’”
