Tony Vreski is one of the terrorists in the first part of Die Hard under the orders of Hans Gruber who planned the theft of 640 million from the rich businessman Joe Takagi on Christmas Eve. To do this, Gruber and his men organize a massive hostage situation in the company's tower, which is hosting a Christmas Eve party.But Gruber and his men's plan is thwarted by John McClane, a New York policeman who has come to Los Angeles for the holidays to try to reconcile with his wife, a Nakatomi employee. In spite of himself, he finds himself at the heart of the hostage situation and becomes the pebble in the shoe of the terrorists.The first terrorist to face McClane is Tony Vreski. McClane finally shoots him with his handgun and sends a strong message to Gruber. This is one of the most mythical scenes in the entire Die Hard franchise: McClane ties Tony Vreski's corpse to a chair, puts a Santa Claus hat on him and writes on his sweater "Now I've got a machine gun Ho Ho Ho" before sending him straight back up the elevator.McClane's message with Tony Vreski's dead body will of course be experienced as a real provocation, but it will also trigger the hatred of Tony's brother, also a member of the terrorist group.Funko makes a nice nod to Die Hard and John McClane fans with this POP of Tony Vreski, or rather of his corpse, tied to the wheelchair. Everything reflects perfectly the scene where the elevator opens on him!On the POP figure, we find Tony Vreski in a slight as McClane "borrowed" his clothes, not forgetting to mention that he has the smallest feet of all the terrorists. The POP also has the blood traces recalling the confrontation with McClane.Finally, Funko didn't leave out the most important details on this POP: the Santa hat AND the inscription on Vreski's sweater. Purists will notice a slight difference since in the movie the exact mention is "Now I have a machine gun ho ho ho" but it's easy to understand that Funko didn't have enough space to make the sentence readable!
