Theres a pepsi man?

In all honesty when I made this thread I just wanted a Sato-Chan pop. They’re just so cute!

That's like putting Freddy Funko in the Ad Icons line Minus the fact that he wasn't created in Japan, of course.

Perfection.

How about that dog from Calbee’s “Consommé Punch” flavored Potato Chips Commercials, or the “Koala’s March” Koala?

Postby **CoolNerd** » Sun Dec 29, 2019 10:02 pm

That's such a cool idea!!

There’s like literally thousands haha. I’m not really sure how many are even licensable but hopefully one day we see some of them.

I love all the unique and fun designs of advertising mascots, so the more the better! A metallic or chrome pepsi man would be at the top of my want list for things like this!

If its a known ad icon it would sell in the US for sure.

This is a mascot for salt and other condiments

Postby **GuruGuy128** » Tue Jan 14, 2020 2:32 pm

Mister Donut one of the mascots

Postby **hpellot** » Tue Jan 14, 2020 4:34 pm

this is a great idea

Postby **GuruGuy128** » Tue Jan 14, 2020 4:47 pm

They also use a lot of anime to promote stuff like KFC

Postby **jagpop** » Tue Jan 14, 2020 5:06 pm

Living in Japan for a few years I would always run into some kind of mascot or another. Too many to remember but it would be cool to see them in Pop form.

Postby **digithor** » Tue Jan 14, 2020 7:10 pm

They sure have some different stuff than what North America is used to seeing.

Postby **dork_knight** » Tue Jan 14, 2020 7:24 pm

Would love a Mame-shiba, please

Think of the variants for it too

So kawaii and kowai!!! xD

In case you haven't met Mame-shiba, enjoy!

Phone Company

Bunch of Mascots

This. Right. Here. lol

But seriously, I really like a lot of the Pop Asia things that are out there already, so I would totally be down for new (to me) things!

Random sheep as a mascot for a chemical company makes my mind immediately jump to Mr. Sparkle!

Postby **GuruGuy128** » Wed Jan 22, 2020 12:06 pm

We need a Japanese Cartoon Line too

Postby **Comicbookwriter** » Thu Feb 13, 2020 2:22 am

This is a great idea. Also a Mr Sparkle would be awesome!

I have the Doraemon pop, it's awesome! So underrated

Wife loved doraemon, but she was a little freaked out by the mold. Lol

Must be the eyes - somehow I don't think painting the entire eye all black is a good look. But otherwise it's a fine pop. I love it.

OMG this is a freaking good idea!

Postby **philipali** » Thu Feb 13, 2020 10:40 am

Too many posibilities.. Probably this is in line for the future

Postby **rexflexall** » Thu Feb 13, 2020 10:54 am

More Godzilla please! LOL

Postby **renardchua** » Thu Feb 13, 2020 11:35 am

This is a possibility given that Funko has collaborated with Kotobukiya before with some of the Baseball Mascots in Japan.

But of course, if ever I want to choose, we need the Glico Running Man Pop!
