Tupac's debut album "2Pacalypse Now" will be released in a limited edition item later this year.
However, it will not be in the shape of a CD or anything music-related, as a new Funko figure has been announced.
This coincides with the 25th anniversary of Tupac's 1991 album, which includes popular songs like "I Don't Give A F--," "Brenda's Got A Baby," and "Trapped."
The five-inch tall Tupac miniature will be launched on November 28 by Popped In a Box.
The "2Pacalypse Now" Funko Pop figure comes in a window display box depicting the little rapper sporting the same costume seen on the cover of his debut album.
The Funko figure is available for pre-order for $19.99.
