Exactly. Its just like when a new line is announced and people start complaining about all of the "better" lines they could be making. Bottom line is Funko will make everything they can get a license for and they feel there is a market for.

You're so right. Let Funko get ANY kind of Nintendo license and trust me that's not something they're going to be quiet about at all. There will be so much build up behind it finally happening.

Yeah like a lot of people brought up a lot of Funko getting some of these licenses might weigh heavily on when/if amiibo takes some kind of hit in popularity

One would think that Funko is getting big enough where the license issue wouldn't be a problem because of the profit potential. Hopefully it's worked out soon.

Does anyone know what Nintendo's issue is? Do they want their own line or they just holding out for more money? Wondering if any details have slipped out.

Nintendo likely wants to do there own line of figures, having already doing the Amiibo line and some 8-bit figures as well.

Would be nice if there was a Funko line for sure. Imagine the Pop Rides that could be done for Mario Kart...

They already make tons of profit without licensing out their characters, so they really have no incentive to do so.

Exactly - my local toy group is going hard on those World of Nintendo figures - I don't think Nintendo is hurting for profits, so they're just fine holding onto their license.

I have to agree. Nintendo likely won't be joining Funko anytime soon... but if the price is right, you never know.

I agree as well I think Nintendo isn't interested in since they are doing fine with the products they have.
