More X-MEN Pop!s please!

[CaliCollectibles]

Yes! 90s X-men still need Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, Gambit, and Rogue! So many awesome X-men characters, would love to see the Blob, Pyro, 6"Sentinels, Bishop, Omega Red, and Mr. Sinister.

Here's hoping that with the merger, Disney starts letting some of these come out...

Fingers crossed!!

[CaliCollectibles]

Rogue and Gambit have been my friends wants for YEARS. curious why we haven't had them yet. oh, and jubilee too!!

Rogue and Gambit are the ones I'm dying for, too. Even named one of my dogs Gambit!

nice!!! that's a great name for a dog!!

haha awesome name!

Yes. Let’s hope some new characters like these are made. Would love to see these characters

[XSRK]

There’s so many versions of gambit that can be done. We need a pop with cards that light up!

[MrSmileyFace]

Here comes yet another Thor Pop and we still haven't seen a Gambit or Rogue or Jubilee and the list goes on and on. And we've seen this time and time again with countless other Marvel characters. Thor has over 10 versions. I'm happy for his fans but what about the rest of us? DC fans get new Pop!s every month it seems!

Why haven't we seen for example an updated white costume Storm or a classic black costume Storm? Mr. Sinister, Omega Red, Magneto, Nightcrawler, Mystique, updated Wolverine, Polaris... I could go on and on.

Does it come down to licensing? Why (for example) would it be a struggle to get license to do another version of Archangel when they've already had permission to create him? Why would Marvel say yes to a Storm, Psylocke and Phoenix Pop, yet say no to Gambit or Omega Red?

I'm new to the Funko world so please forgive my ignorance.

For a number of years, Marvel was actively removing X-Men from merchandising (except for Deadpool, because they're not going to turn down Deadpool money) in an effort to pressure Fox into selling the X-Men movie rights back. There were no X-Men (or FF) in things like Marvel Disney Infinity, the X-Men were removed from t-shirts that reprinted famous covers, no X-Men or FF characters in the mobile games except for a couple that squeaked through, and so on. This was also the period where Marvel was trying to replace the X-Men with the Inhumans and characters like Daisy Johnson/Quake, who was previously a mutant, became an Inhuman.

Now that Disney is buying Fox, the embargo was lifted and everyone is playing catch up with the X-Men characters.

Thanks for the info, never thought about it before, but this makes so much sense

Wow, a very nice read and it seemed to work. If I may ask, is this from some article on the web? Or from insider trading news?

I grew up with X-Men comics, cartoons and even the movies, so more new Funko X-Men characters are welcomed with me

[Tusken]

X-Factor and Alpha Flight! Canada Fan Expo ezzzz

Not a bad idea at all to have Alpha Flight for the Canda Fan Expo.

[StarWarner]

Gambit is easily my favourite X-men character so I'm holding out hope for his arrival to the Funko Pop world!!! GITD please

Yes! A Gambit Pop is long overdue. And Rogue. I actually have a cat named Gambit and I gave my mom a cat named Rogue. I've been waiting for those Pops for what seems like forever.

[FunkoFresh253]

i pray for the future of xmen films. they were a childhood favorite comic and cartoon, and still prefer reading xmen related comics over any other marvel.

This was pretty much common knowledge for a lot of comic folks. A similar thing also happened with the Fantastic Four. They shut the comic down. Started taking them off Secret Wars shirts and stuff like that. It always made me sad.

It looks like Spider Man Far From Home gives a hint as to how they can merge things that haven't been around yet. I'm psyched.

For sure hope that the merging of these two will allow more x-men pops to come out because this is an area that needs to be expanded.

Still waiting on a 10 inch Sentinel that lights up.

I need a cool, acrobatically posed (like with the tail supporting from below) Nightcrawler with glow in the dark eyes and translucent/maybe glow in the dark tendrils of teleportation smoke.

Yes please

[Kwiksilverpop]

I'm cool for Funko to slowly come out other xmen pops.. Its been a fast and furious year for most of us!

So much has been coming out can’t keep up with production now!

Ya agree with you. Sometimes it's like really fast and furious all come out at one time and need to selectively buy...

Did...did someone say glow???

[rexflexall]

My guess is a licensing issue between both Fox and Disney?

There's also this rumor that a guy at Marvel HATES the X-Men. I can't find the article but here's the other one about why there isn't more merchandise. It's pretty much what others have said previously.

Yup that’s where I’m at. It’s hard to make space and I don’t want to tuck away part of the collection into storage.

[anime23]

Don’t bring Thor into this. That has been one of the most consistently requested pops since day one of my collecting, and they finally made it after seven long years. I’d love to more X-Men, but Funko has a problem making pops from the comics period, much less the X-Men’s corner.

DYING!!!

[PopPChulo]

i pray for the future of xmen films. they were a childhood favorite comic and cartoon, and still prefer reading xmen related comics over any other marvel.

Now that Marvel has the X-men rights back in their paws. Rest assured we will get the X-men done right and then some. Come back and revisit this when that Marvel Studios X-men movie comes out

Oh yeah i think the first thing marvel will do is scrap the current alfits and go for something closer to the comics and probably run with Uncanny X-men. Woooo X-men is going to be a whole nother beast once marvel puts out a film

[jkcohen626]

While this point is no longer relevant due to the Disney-Fox merger, I believe that, for the entire lifespan of POP!s, dorbz, Mystery Minis and most of Funko's most popular product lines, Marvel has made a very aggressive effort to make the Avengers Characters the center of attention, rather than the X-Men. While the X-Men are still present and still influence the Marvel Comics Universe, it's definitely the Avengers that have become the "main" heroes. I believe that this was part of a very calculated effort by Marvel that included a decrease in their presence in the the comics, in Marvel animated television and in merchandise (including Funko).

[Hawkeye_13]

Very excited for those first class x-men pops! Cyclops,jean,iceman,angel and beast!

[dmitch86]

I seen a post on FB about Walmart exclusive pops w/movie. They were similar to the venom pops they did a while backm full size pop with digital code. They showed logan, magneto, cable and quicksilver. Definitely going to be looking for these!

Maybe we will see more X-Men Pops, being under Disney now.

That Nightcrawler tho!

[yasowat]

That Nightcrawler customer is so awesome. I would definitely want to see Funko's take on it.

[BestDadEver]

I think a lot of if it has to do with Fox owning the X-men for so long.. where as Disney got their hands on all the others much sooner, got them in main stream media and just made them more well known. A lot of people that "like Marvel" have probably never read a comic book and only know the cinematic universe

Yeah wondered about that. Wonder if this will change with Disney in the mix?

[FunkoLoco]

i love the xmen as well. Wish they made more.

[djwu]

This is exactly what I’ve had to do due to lack of space! I miss my collection but just have nowhere to display

But whatever x-men pops I do have are OUT LOUD AND PROUD

[MajorLeaguePops]

Those customs look amazing. I hope they don't reboot X-Men and not have pops that look like the 2000's movies X-Men. And if they do reboot it, they don't change things drastically.

[Strending625]

I’ve been wanting more X-Men pops for a long time but I know it comes down to licensing and really want Marvel wants to be made

It's mostly insider to my knowledge, I used to work for the Disney Store for many years and this was sort of openly talked about amongst the Marvel people. I started there the last year there was any merch in the stores (comic verse at that point) and they've still not made a return.

I'd love an X-Men Evolution set to go with the 90's set tbh.
