Abandoned Pop Towns

Postby GuruGuy128 » Tue Jun 23, 2020 12:56 pm

I wonder if there is an interest in a line of Pop Buildings that have been abandoned or in a state of decay, fantasy or real world

Not sure it would happen unless the town tied to a specific pop culture franchise, but I like the idea! Would make for some cool customs

This would be awesome!
Maybe even reversible so one side is normal and the other side deformed with the included POP being a creature from the franchise

Ohh reversible, that could be pretty neat. Certainly something new for them.

like a pop ghost town or something? that'd be kind of cool. I think as long as they have the pop figures to pair with them it would be pretty popular!

I guess not the exact ghost town this thread is referring to, they will be releasing POP Town themed to Halloween (same as the Christmas Town last year).
Again not the same but close lol

Oh, that sounds pretty cool. I must have missed the Halloween Pop town announcement(s). Any idea what's coming our way for this line?

Yeah, it'd probably have to be a really famous movie haunted house if it was to sell well, at least in my opinion. oh well, as long as it looks cool, people may go after it.
Well I honestly like pretty much anything to do with pop culture soooooo... :colors:

It could be interesting but I'm not sure if there would be enough interest from other collectors. Definitely a different idea though.

I am playing Last of Us 2 right now - Funko could do something like a clicker with a burned out house
Please Funko make Taylor Swift Pops!

I always saw cool homemade setups, thought it would make sense for Funko to get into the game in some way.

I would be devastated if Funko dropped Pop Towns. So many possibilities with that line, I feel they are just getting started
