Abandoned Pop Towns
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

Re: Abandoned Pop Towns
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

Re: Abandoned Pop Towns
I can envision them but not sure how well they’ll do, or if they’ll be super popular amongst the collectors. cool idea though.

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.

Re: Abandoned Pop Towns
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!

Re: Abandoned Pop Towns
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

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...

Re: Abandoned Pop Towns
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!

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

I think Pop Towns has slowed down but a Walking Dead one as in the hospital would be cool.

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

Re: Abandoned Pop Towns
These would be a perfect release during Halloween. Some of the old ghost towns or mining towns would be cool.
