The Kerrang! Chart: The best new music this week
The ultimate new music countdown – every Friday!
The Funko POP! figure of twenty one pilots' unofficial third member goes on sale tomorrow
In this day and age, you know you’ve made it when a Funko POP! figure is made in your likeness. twenty one pilots’ Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun might not be quite there yet, but Ned is.
Who’s Ned, you ask? Well, as any twenty one pilots aficionado will tell you, Ned is the weird little character who first appeared in the band’s Chorine video, popped up in the video for The hype, and often appears with the band onstage at live shows. The band have launched a Ned-themed merch line and he now even has Ned his own Instagram.
The The Ned Pop Funko doll will be available to buy from here tomorrow (October 11) and was first teased back in June.

To be absolutely fair to Tyler and Josh, while they haven’t been made into official Funko POP! vinyl figures, a fan did make her very own of the duo. And no, she isn't making available to buy.
The world-conquering duo recently started the latest leg of their world-conquering Bandito Tour in Tampa, Florida, which will continue for another month in support of last year’s fifth album, Trench, the successful follow-up to 2015’s Blurryface.
The band – presumably with Ned in tow, though in real form, rather than POP! form – will play in Greenville at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena tonight. The rest of the dates are as follows:
