Japanese Ad Icons

Postby **emoagogo** » Mon Dec 23, 2019 2:09 pm

I would LOVE if funko starting making ad icons from Japan. There are so many that would translate into pops and look amazing!! Kumamon, Peko-Chan, melon bear to name a few. And I know there a certain chairman of fun that would LOVE a Sato-Chan pop made ;-)

What do you think? Name more so Brian sees this!!

Japan has mascots for literally everything, hahaha. This line could easily go over 1000 for just Precincts and cities

I would definitely love if Funko made Sato-chan, my best friend has been collecting Sato-chan figures for many ears and would like the chance to get him one!

I know is not a Ad icon, but how about a Doraemon Pop. At least is one of the famous cartoon icon.

Same thought as I had, I don't know virtually any japanese ad icons but if they look good then it's a go.

He might as well be an ad icon, plus there already is an doraemon pop!

Haha, it's a great mold! It's a little older pop but impossible to find now. There isn't a high demand for it but I grew up watching it.

Oh boy, I’m not familiar with any Japanese ad icons off hand, but I would imagine them to look great if made. lol

Postby **YeetGrimes** » Tue Dec 24, 2019 2:32 pm

This would be so awesome. As mentioned, Japan has mascots for practically everything so you could go on and on lol

They're all so cute, too! I'd like to see Funko give more international love.

I think creating ad icons from different countries would be an amazing idea.

Need a pikachu ad icon.

Idk if they would sell well in US unless its a well known Ad Icon. I know there is a niche for it, but how big? I'd love to see Funko experiment with some just to see.

I would love to see some pops of Japanese mascots, particularly Hiyonoyama (The Japan Sumo Association mascot) and Chiitan (the rogue former unofficial mascot of the small port city of Susaki).

They can be exclusives in that country like they are doing will pops that are exclusive to the Philippines and other countries. I do feel that most would sell really well in the US because people seem to buy any ad icon that is released.

That's like putting Freddy Funko in the Ad Icons line lol

Minus the fact that he wasn't created in Japan, of course.

Who is online
