If we get historical figures, who would you want to see?

Postby Ace+ 76 » Sat Jun 09, 2018 5:12 pm

Perhaps we may get these one day. Just throwing it out there to see what people think.

I would love to see:

King Arthur and the knights of the round table
Cleopatra
Einstein

King Arthur might actually be a pretty cool pop with the nights and could even do them on horses.

Tesla! He deserves a pop.

Maybe a line of scientists and inventors in general. Like Pasteur, Galileo, Newton, Darwin...

Cleopatra and Tutankhamun would be must-haves for me, I've always loved the history of Egypt. On that note, the Egyptian Gods would be amazing too.

This is actually a great solution I’d think - Funko needs known “brands” or licenses to make pops that will sell, but those licenses come at a cost. Creating their own brands, like the Wetmore Monsters, is great, but having known entities that don’t require licenses like Cleopatra could be beneficial to their business (kind of like the Bigfoot.) I’m a history nerd with a medieval studies degree so I’d be excited to see quasi-historical like Robin Hood or King Arthur plus medieval folk like Richard the Lionheart and Saladin. If that’s too deep in the weeds, I think Cleopatra, Caesar, Henry VIII and wives, and Marie Antoinette would be cool, too.

Marie Antoinette, Joan of Arc, Betsy Ross with the US flag, Rosie the Riveter, and so on and so forth.

Ooooh, how about a series of the First Ladies? Eleanor Roosevelt, Michelle Obama, Jackie Kennedy, etc. There could be interesting facts on the back of the box. Funko could chat with the Smithsonian since they exhibit outfits that the First Ladies wore and the Pops could be sold in the museum giftshop and online of course and maybe a portion of the proceeds goes to support museums.
