Shirtless Jason Kelce Is Now an Action Figure, and NFL Fans Are in Awe
You can now own the Eagles center's likeness for a good cause.
Even in our fractured cultural age, there remain a few surefire signs that you have made it as a famous person in America.
Maybe it's something small-scale, like getting a key to the city. Or maybe it's appearing on a big stage, like hosting or appearing as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live.
Or maybe, if you're Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, it’s getting a Funko Pop! figurine commemorating your recent shirtless appearance on national television.
Fortunately, you can now buy precisely that, as Kelce has teamed up with Funko to create an action figure of himself sans shirt as a charity benefit.

Kelce lept jubilantly from his suite on Jan. 21, after his brother—Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce—caught a touchdown in the team’s 27–24 AFC divisional win over the Buffalo Bills.
Fans expressed excitement and awe at Jason’s “achievement.”

Fans of Travis's girlfriend, celebrated musician Taylor Swift, were charmed as well.

Money was no object for many.
Scrolling on Instagram and found this shirtless Jason Kelce funko pop. I never ran so fast to purchase something in my life. The best $35 I’ve ever spent. pic.twitter.com/9z8wR9M706

The American public was left to shake its collective head at yet another Kelce family adventure.
Jason Kelce is really a national treasure. Funko pop reached out to him with a shirtless Jason at the bills game funko and he said he only felt right going through with it if the proceeds went back to the people of Buffalo ???? so that’s what’s happening and I can’t wait to buy one
