NCAA Mascot Pops

Postby **Funko Hunter** » Tue Jul 04, 2017 12:24 pm

I'm new to the Funko world (started collecting in 2016 with NFL and some Star Wars), but I couldn't find whether there have been any NCAA College products by Funko. Is this an area Funko has interest in exploring? It seems that college mascot Pops could probably sell well. Licensing hurdles aside, I think the following would be a good lineup:

Rameses - North Carolina
Tommy Trojan - Southern California
Oregon Duck - Oregon
Big Al - Alabama
Albert - Florida

Any others?

I like this idea and not just mascots for NCAA but for all sports. They did release MLB ones but they probably didn't do so well. Might be the reason they stopped.

Husky from Washington AND UConn and any of the wolf pack teams need a wolfie

This is is the line I have been begging for!! I am praying somehow some way it happens because I will literally buy at least 4 Brutus The Buckeye pops if we ever got him!

Wildcat from Arizona, Wilbur, with his wife, Wilma, as a chase.

There are so many possibilities, and Funko could even try to sell them at university bookstores

Everyone in Georgia would be clamouring for a Hairy Dawg pop.

Absolutely NEED a San Diego State Aztec Pop!

I would absolutely love a Tommy Trojan POP!, though the actual mascot is Traveler but I'll take a POP! of both. Hell, give us a NCAA POP! Ride.

There were a couple Bobble Breeze and some Wobbers back in the day.

I would love to see The Oregon Duck made.

SPARKY!!!

These would be interesting with the start of college football right around the corner...

I'd like to see the mascots from Oregon, Notre Dame, and Ohio State.

Postby **Mos_Eisley** » Mon Aug 14, 2017 12:14 am

I like this idea.

Postby **Purplemz24** » Mon Aug 14, 2017 12:24 am

I know nothing about the sports but I'm always down for big head pops! The only thing Jersey really has going for itself is the Jersey Devil (sports speak and supernatural speak) so that would be fun to see made!

I think slowly but surely we may start to see more mascots.... I mean they just made Tony right?!

Great idea!!! Fighting Irish!!

I want a flocked Oski w/ axe ready for some tree chopping.

Postby **Tazz013** » Mon Aug 14, 2017 1:15 am

I'd buy a "Battle for Paul Bunyan's Axe" two pack with Bucky Badger and Goldy Gopher.

NCAA mascot pops would be awesome!!! I'd for sure buy my college mascot! Victor E. Bulldog of Fresno State

We need to keep this thread alive until we make some progress! As you can see in my sig, the start of the season is just weeks away!

Yes I will like to see hey reb from UNLV. Good luck this year to your bulldogs by the way O:)

I would definitely get a Hook 'em from the University of Texas! Any other Longhorns on the boards?

Postby **squidward** » Mon Aug 14, 2017 8:54 am

I believe that these would be very successful. Everyone loves their mascot - current students and alumni.
Purdue Pete for me.

Postby **AutumnsToyz** » Mon Aug 14, 2017 10:11 am

I would love an Oski and I may get the Stanford tree just so I can create that fight between the two mascots

I need an Oregon Duck Pop! in my life.

Postby **zwahelian** » Mon Aug 14, 2017 10:30 am

These either have to be in development, or getting stuck on licensing issues. Every college bookstore and online fan site would stock the hell out of these.

Postby **akagalar** » Mon Aug 14, 2017 10:50 am

I know this would be an extremely popular line. I'm sure Funko would have it out by now if they could.

Postby **nascar246788** » Mon Aug 14, 2017 11:02 am

That would be awesome. I would love to see Bruiser the Bear (Baylor University)

Postby **riceand1** » Mon Aug 14, 2017 11:12 am

This would be a great idea, but I think Funko would only do the big name schools, there is too much colleges out there.

I'd be down with that. I sorta like Nascar. Keep it between us, okay?

As an Oregonian and a major University of Oregon Ducks fan I would absolutely LOVE to have a duck pop sitting next to the tv during the football and basketball games.

After last year's mess we will need all the luck! I graduated in 2016 and was lucky to watch Derek Carr play there while I attended school, I'd for sure buy a UNLV Rebel as well!!!
