Oh boy, the options for these absolute masterpiece films are endless. Some easy mascots to start off with would be liked a flocked Totoro or something. :cat:

Flocked 10 inch Totoro would be a welcomed addition to my collection. Suprised these aren’t a thing already

It such a work of art.
I can only imagine they are super strict and picky on the licensing.
If it ever does happen. I am so on board and collecting!

Yes, I think getting a licensing would be tough. Especially since the company sells a lot of merchandise at their stores, museum, and theme parks.

But can you guys imagine what a Funko Pop Moment or even a deluxe would look like for this line? Studio Ghibli has such vibrant and memorable character design & there’s so many iconic scenes that I think it would mesh flawlessly with the Funko POP aesthetic

Oh most definitely. So many different characters that would look exceptional with that Funko aesthetic and with the glow. This line could legit be filled with superior pop moments. There’s just so many different characters that would look awesome as pops

Kiki's Delivery service! That was my first Ghibli film so it has a special place in my heart. Maybe Kiki with Jiji together as a POP.
