    A "Fancy" new Funko Pop! figurine depicting Oklahoma's own "Queen of Country" is bowing this fall.

    After teasing a collaboration with a country music legend who "won't let you down" late Monday, Funko — an American company known for making licensed pop-culture collectibles, particularly its line of Pop! vinyl figurines with oversized heads and big eyes — confirmed Tuesday that it is working with Chockie native and Country Music Hall of Famer Reba McEntire .

    The flame-haired hitmaker, 69, joins a long line of music legends immortalized in the Pop! Rocks series , including the likes of the Beatles, Ozzy Osbourne, Elvis Presley and Run-D.M.C.

    The limited-edition Reba McEntire (1993 CMA Awards) figure depicts the iconic entertainer in a detailed recreation of the legendary red dress she wore during her performance on the 1993 Country Music Awards .

    What's the story behind Reba McEntire's famous CMA Awards red dress?

    As a four-time CMA Female Vocalist of the Year winner and a former CMA Entertainer of the Year, Reba donned the long, velvet crimson gown with the plunging neckline, strategically placed sheer accents and a smattering of equally well-placed glitters to perform her smash duet “Does He Love You” with Linda Davis on the 1993 CMA Awards .

    When the duo won the prize for Vocal Event of the Year at the 1994 CMAs, Reba famously quipped, "Just think, about this time last year, I just had about half of a dress on — as I found out later."

    Three decades later, the legend of the red dress lives on in country music memory. Now, it will be recreated in Reba's first Funko POP! figure.

    “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,” Reba said in a statement. “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!”

    When and how can fans get Reba's first Funko Pop! figure?

    The Reba McEntire (1993 CMA Awards) Pop! figure is available for pre-order exclusively at Funko.com starting Tuesday, Sept. 24 through 11:30 a.m. Friday, Nov. 1.

    It is priced at $15. Estimated delivery date is May 15, 2025.

    The debut of Reba's first Funko Pop! likeness coincides with the premiere this week of Season 26 of the hit competition series "The Voice ." The country music queen is the defending champion coach on the Emmy-winning show, and she gifted her team with a special Pop! collectible on air during Monday's premiere episode.

    Reba also has been busily promoting the upcoming bow of her new NBC sitcom "Happy's Place," coming in October.
