About this deal
When thinking about Alaska’s trajectory before, during, and after Drag Race, it is hard to think of any other queen – other than RuPaul himself – that has had a deeper connection with this franchise. Because Funko Pop Drag Queens is a completely new set, the box numbering restarts at #01 and builds from there. According to Alaska, she sent an audition tape to be on Drag Race every single year until season 5, when she finally made it on the show. However, Alaska was already featured in the season 4 finale due to the fact that her boyfriend, Sharon Needles, was competing for the crown. According to RuPaul during an episode of his What’s The Tee podcast with Michelle Visage, the reason that it took so long for Alaska to be on the show is because the queen was “too smart, too high-brow, and too intellectual” for audiences during the early Drag Race seasons. The long-running series got its start on Logo TV before making the jump to VH1 for the ninth season. RuPaul is both a mentor to the contestants like Alaska and Trixie and one of the judges tasked with ultimately deciding the yearly winner. RuPaul won an Emmy for the show in 2016 as Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program.
