Hulk, Iron Man, Dr Strange, Various Spiderman, Black Panther, Ant-man, Capt America. They even have a Comic Thor Dorbz. But not Pop!. Hopefully we can see one made soon. I like that helmet with wings.

Where are you finding a comic Ant-Man pop? I don’t recall seeing one.

My bad, I was referring to the dorbz comic ant man

I personally love the Classic Comic versions, way more than the Movie versions. I wish they would start making some more, especially a Classic Thor!

It's unfortunate but I think you're probably right. Don't get me wrong, SLJ is a dope Nick Fury but I would love to see his comic form Pop'd.

Another vote for comic versions of characters too. They made both movie and comic versions of The Valkyrie. No confusion there. No reason the same couldn't be done here. I believe that there is a market for comic versions of these characters as well.

Agree.

If there was that much concern about volume, these could still be made exclusives.

If there's any portion of the Funko Funatic world that can be said to be insanely consistently fanatical it's comic book nuts like me. You can bet that certainly "exclusive" versions of these would get bought up--and that does include comic book versions of Nick Fury, and Heimdal, etc., for that matter too.

I think it's only a matter of time before we see more of these.

its true though, marvel comics aren't so hot right now. On the other hand the MCU is killing it! It makes me sad as well though :(

Good point. I feel Funko has been concentrating on the movie pops so much since Marvel movies come almost year-round...we do get the occasional comic book designed characters like Moon Knight & Black Panther, but yes! A classic Thor would be awesome!

Hope they release some classic Marvel soon, especially X-men..I need my Gambit and Rogue...and Nightcrawler :P

It would be nice to get the comic book version. Also if funko could redo some of the old ones. Like a new version of iron man and hulk.

When spider-ham appeared in dorbz form, I had hopes that Beta Ray Bill would show up as well.

I hope he still does!

Thor is one of my all time favourite Marvel characters, so the more, the better IMO
