While not actually part of the NBC show, Anthony Hopkins' portrayal of the cannibal killer in The Silence of Lambs is so iconic he was honored with a Hannibal Lecter figure. This is found in the Funko Pop Silence of the Lambs set. In the film, Jodie Foster plays Clarice Starling, a young FBI trainee who is on the hunt for a serial killer, “Buffalo Bill” (Ted Levine), who skins his female victims. To get hold of him, she seeks advice from the imprisoned Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins), a brilliant psychiatrist and cannibalistic serial killer. The Silence of the Lambs is a 1991 American psychological horror film directed by Jonathan Demme and written by Ted Tally, adapted from Thomas Harris’s 1988 novel. It would be several years before the next vinyl choice arrived in 2019. This includes Hannibal Lecter in the prison escape scene. Wearing an all-white prison outfit with his added inmate number, the menacing Lecter wields a billy club. The bloody variant is essentially the "after" scene when he makes his actual escape. A new Hannibal Lecter Funko Pop! vinyl figure is announced by Funko, as part of the Pop! Movies series. The new Hannibal Lecter Pop! figure, equipped with fork and knife, has a release date in August 2022.
