Flocked Einstein!

Benjamin Franklin with a stack of $100 bills in his hand would be pretty sweet and symbolic so to speak. It would obviously put into perspective all the "Benjamins" I've dropped on funko pops and collecting in general lol

I for one would find a special place of honor amongst my collection if this became a reality :mir1:

I would buy the presidents on Mount Rushmore as a Mount Rushmore pop. It would be huge and ridiculous and it would be awesome.

Postby **funkofinderz** » Tue Mar 05, 2019 2:06 pm

Certain Presidents, MLK Jr., Gandhi, Einstein, to name a few.

Postby **pberickp** » Tue Mar 05, 2019 8:43 pm

Adam Smith, Milton Friedman, John Meynard Keynes, and F.A. Hayek an would be pretty awesome set for economists.

I am rather curious how one would go about getting licensing, like do you talk to the family and ask for permission or some estate that protects the namesake or identity of a famous person

Probably some authors of the past would be neat! Also some composers!!

Postby **Funko_boy13** » Wed Mar 20, 2019 7:38 pm

I would like to see a George Washington funko pop.

Postby **nascar246788** » Wed Mar 20, 2019 8:41 pm

Wow historical pops would be absolutely endless because there are so many to choose from just from the United States history alone. I would say a great start would be people that made some massive breakthrough when it came to innovation. I would say people like Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Albert Einstein, Galileo, Socrates, and Newton just to name a few.

I think it would be cool to have a Neil Armstrong pop.

Postby **Clutch** » Wed Mar 20, 2019 8:44 pm

Oh man where to begin. There are so many.

Postby **Crazykidrev** » Wed Mar 20, 2019 8:45 pm

I’m going to go with Abe Lincoln on this one

Postby **ryanc_** » Thu May 23, 2019 3:41 pm

I would like a Karl Marx pop just because of how ironic it would be to have the founder of communist ideology as a pop, i would definitely buy it. heck I've seen karl marx tattoos.
