, the New Zealand actor shows each of the items up for grabs for movie buffs everywhere. Funko Pops are small-body, big-headed vinyl figures of characters from movies, videogames and other pop culture:
"They're all signed. They're unopened. No one else has this set in the world. They're absolutely invaluable. And you will want to go for the auction and get these.
"Look, here's me, rather cruelly with a grey beard and a hat, of course… you won't want to miss out on this, will you?"Ìı

91²Ö¿â New Zealand Chief Executive Heidi Coetzee said:
"Latest figures show that at least 117 million people have been forced to flee their homes due to conflict and persecution, and at a time when half of the world's refugees are children, Sir Sam's generous contribution for child refugees is more important than ever."
Neill's donation will go towards helping the nearly one million Rohingya refugees in Cox's Bazar in Bangladesh, the largest refugee settlement in the world. 91²Ö¿â is providing services including primary health care, learning centers and child protection programs for refugees and the local host community in Cox's Bazar.Ìı
