[TheStephil]

I'd really like a Hamilton pop. I'm too obsessed with that musical and i don't even typically care for musicals.

I would like to see:

I deftly would buy Malcolm X... wouldn't mind a MLK Jr., too!

But I think it would be good to see Tesla with the lightbulb that glows in the dark in his hand

[mongoose12]

einstein would be dope for sure...considering he came up with the theory of relativity and all..

Other ideas too maybe... but this is hard to take serious into consideration--- Steve Jobs with an apple.. ha!

[MacKazoo]

What about Franklin Roosevelt?

[kekamahele76]

Agreed! Seeing the a Hamilton Pop would be so dope! Even if isn’t the musical version pop.

I'd really like a Hamilton pop. I'm too obsessed with that musical and i don't even typically care for musicals.

Agreed. Definitely doesn’t have to be the musical version. The musical opened him up to the mainstream and it spurred my interest in learning more about him.

[Annie_May13]

Since it is just history pops, I feel like modern history is open to this as well but I really want a cleopatra and Napoleon pop.

[MacKazoo]

Since it is just history pops, I feel like modern history is open to this as well but I really want a cleopatra and Napoleon pop.

I would love to see classic history like Cleopatra and possibly Caesar.

[o2thedbld5]

Harry Houdini is a historical figure in the world of magicians!

[jadekitten]

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.

I would buy a Karl Marx pop


I don't feel like historical pops would sell well, but we'll see.

I kind of feel the same way. I love history but didn’t really want to see history pops, largely because a lot of our most iconic historical figures were a part of very serious events that makes it kind of awkward to have cute vinyl versions of them made, or met really tragic and violent ends. With that said I don’t have any problems with the first history pops they chose and they seem to be well done.

I wonder if we can get controversial history figures like Stalin or Saddam Hussein

I agree, American history has definitely NOT been pretty most of the time. It is pretty awkward to think of owning a pop when that person was involved in some serious or controversial events. I just feel like they're too serious and real to be made Pops.

However, Rosie the Riveter looks awesome, and I have a much more positive association with her than other historial figures. I would also buy a JFK pop, but I think that might be it.

Yeah I know what you mean, part of me is like i kind of don't want to see certain historical figures made because I fear some insensitive person might customize a "bloody" version which would be just horrendous. I agree, Rosie the Riveter turned out awesome. I would even like a Bert the Turtle from the government duck and cover videos. Stuff like that would be cool.

[MacKazoo]

I think a pop of Gorbachev would be awesome.

[YeetGrimes]

I'd love to see Theodore Roosevelt with a little teddy bear

They picked some awesome ones for this first wave. Need that Rosie!

[BigPhilV88]

What about a Pop of something that represents each of the 50 states. Being from California I would think something like a gold miner. I’m not sure on the other states though.

New York should be one of the many immigrants that traveled here

William Shakespeare and for more modern history Steve Jobs.

had no idea either and love the idea!

I'd pick up a Vlad the Impaler!

But really, Edgar Allan Poe would be cool.

Edgar Allan Poe would cool especially if he had a Raven.

[Tusken]

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.

Agree - this line can be never ending. Would love an Albert Einstein - his hair standing up all crazy ohh i wood Love Beethoven and Mozart ... maybe Amelia Earheart.

Amelia Earheart as a pop ride in her airplane would be awesome.

Great idea!

Thanks. I mean this line is really limitless - so many that can be done .

I'd really like a Hamilton pop. I'm too obsessed with that musical and i don't even typically care for musicals.

I'm only slightly embarrassed to admit that that's also where my mind went when I first saw this wave

Now that I'm really thinking about it, though, I'm baffled that Funko hasn't dipped their toe into musicals. As a former theater kid, I can attest to the fact that musical fans are downright rabid when it comes to decent merch haha.

Back on topic though, I'd love a glow-in-the-dark Nikola Tesla. And a three pack with Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, and Sacagawea would be dope!

[schmeebel]

Harry Houdini is a historical figure in the world of magicians!

Perfect!

[schmeebel]

The Music Man?
West side Story?
Sound of Music?
