I read somewhere that Pokemon was easier because the licensing was done by another company.

pokemon group owns pokemon. That's why a few pops exist.

Nintendo likes keeping licenses they own in house and with amiibos I don't think pops are super likely. But we can hope


Yeah this is what I figure as well. Still holding out hope though.

There is always hope

This would be my #1 non-pokemon Nintendo pop!


For me it would be Samus and then there would be variants like the Zero Suit and other variant suits. Imagine the spaceship, the metroids and other famous creatures and monsters such as Mother Brain, Ridley, etc...

Splatoon? What about character boxes? Like Callie & Marie or Pearl & Marina? It would be cool if it was a NNY(Nintendo New York) exclusive.

Getting Nintendo in my opinion is Funko's only card left to play to keep the Pop craze going. Unfortunately I just don't think it will happen due to Nintendo being overly strict. Which is a shame because the Amiibo craze has been all but dead for a while now. A Funko/Nintendo partnership would be good for both companies.

Def would open up so many crazy possibilities for new pop ideas, pop rides and the like. Can't see why Nintendo is holding back.

The only way Funko makes Nintendo pops, is if Nintendo was going under and Funko bought up the licenses of the characters. So about a 0.00001% chance.

i sure hope so...but i think it'd have to be beneficial to both parties. nintendo isn't struggling for cash so they aren't in dire need to do a license deal to make a few bucks.
