Funko rarely misses an opportunity to deliver Pop figures for a highly anticipated film or tv show – especially when Marvel is involved. True to form, they’ve dropped the first wave of Funko Pops based on Marvel Studios’ She-Hulk: Attorney at Law series, which debuted on Disney+ yesterday. Everything you need to know about the wave can be found right here.
The first wave of She-Hulk Pop figures include Jen Walters (Tatiana Maslany), Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), and Nikki Ramos (Ginger Gonzaga). All of these common Pop figures are available to Pre-order here at Entertainment Earth (free US shipping on orders $39+ using the code SUNFREE22 at checkout) and here on Amazon.
The lack of an actual She-Hulk Pop figure in this wave doesn’t make much sense, but Hasbro and Disney have you covered with figures based on Tatiana Maslany’s Hulked-out Jennifer Walters character. Hasbro’s Marvel Legends figure looks especially fantastic with a spot-on head sculpt. If only they included an alternate angry head – it would have been perfect. The Disney She-Hulk figure is actually a 12-inch doll, so you have that option as well. There’s a She-Hulk for everyone.
“I think people receive Jen very differently when she’s She-Hulk than they do Jen Walters,” Maslany told ComicBook about the star attorney’s transformation into a green-skinned superhero. “And that’s something that Jen, I think feeds off in a way that she does get, you know, a little hit of confidence. It’s fun to be looked at like that. But then at the same time, I feel like she also has a fraudulent sort of feeling around it. Or she

Grant will further legal aid for low-income Georgians | News
ATLANTA — The Georgia Legal Services Program is one of 15 legal aid organizations to recently receive a grant from the Legal Services Corporation to enhance pro bono services.
In total, LSC is awarding $4.75 million to support the growth of pro bono legal services for low-income Americans; GLSP will receive $304,946.
GLSP plans to use the funds to create standardized policies and procedures for its pro bono program, which it hopes will improve the integration of pro bono services to more rural areas of the state.
“That necessitates us reorienting our pro bono staff around the state to work more in a hybrid and virtual setting with our volunteers and with our clients,” said Mike Monahan, pro bono director for GLSP.
GLSP primarily serves Georgians outside of metro Atlanta with incomes up to 150% of the federal poverty level, and in some instances, those with up to 200% of the federal poverty level.
About 2 million low-income Georgians could qualify for free legal services, Monahan said. But access to a lawyer often presents a challenge since several counties have no pro bono lawyer, and at least 40 counties with five or fewer lawyers, he added.
“About 70% of that poor person population is found outside Metro Atlanta in our service territory, and we only have access in that territory to about 30% of the state’s lawyers,” Monahan said. “So there’s a huge mismatch of where the lawyers are and where the poor people are. And one of the reasons why we are transforming our services, especially after COVID and knowing how the world now operates, (is) to go to a more virtual and hybrid way to get all those many, many lawyers out of Atlanta and give them ways to reach our clients in rural Georgia.”
