I am sure you are right, although, he does not have the popularity or loyalty like his mother.

I think either they will do it immediately to take advantage of the fanfare, or they will wait to see if there will be the interest.

I could see one being made for his coronation. I think as a public figure, Funko doesn’t even need to secure licensing. Could be wrong there.

Yup, pretty sure they’re considered public domain just like when we got the presidential pops a few years back.

Had no idea his coronation was happening so soon. It feels like we just had the Queen's funeral. Thanks for the reminder.

But yea, that would make for a p cool Pop.

Royalties are public domain - so if Funko wants to do it, it can be done.

I feel there isn't the same interest in him, but that is my opinion.

They may do one of him, but I don't see as much interest on this side of the pond. Maybe as someone else suggested a UK exclusive.

This would be a fun line but I would say never. Different kings would be pretty cool though. :freddy3:

:fdo92: :freddy1: :freddy2: with everything that is happening im not sure when or if it'll drop. From my pov they miss the opportunity. Bright side though there's always a chance of a prince Harry pop. Lol :freddy2:

Since the Royal family is a public figure do they have any say on if their image can be made a pop or not? I just don't see them "giving" permission for half the items that are sold with their images so can they stop Funko from making one of him. Hope they don't make a Camilla one.
