Something like...
* Skunk Ape
* Mothman
* Slender Man
* Baba Yaga
* Thunderbird
* Mongolian Death Worm
* Jersey Devil
* Manticore
* Wendigo
* Hydra
* Fairy
* Boogyman
* Griffin
* Centaur
* Chimera
* Mermaid
* Lizardman of Lee County
* Fawn
The Thunder bird or Manticore would be a good pick.
Since we just got the .manticore from Onward, I don't think they would do another one so quick
But this is a different line so look would be different. Still I would be cool they made it.

A ufo ride with generic alien would indeed be cool.

Leviathan is another that needs to be mentioned, they could make it a 6 inch like the Kraken and all curled up around attacking a ship or something.

A ride version would be better, even the size of kraken.

Re: What do you want to see next in the myths line?
Is a Siren too scary to go with the theme of this line? They all end up somewhat cutesy...if so, we'd just have a mermaid
Keep the MOTU line coming!

You have a point there, they are all pretty cutesy...with the exception of Chupacabra he’s kinda wicked IMO. I think Siren would be sick.

Re: What do you want to see next in the myths line?
I don't get how releasing something from a popular line at a single store is a good business decision or helps collectors. How are people supposed to get one other than ebay?

i'm inclined to think its a store drop...while i hear your point about wanting have one, its also a means to get foot traffic into their retail space - which i think is a smart business move.

There's no way this is a 'foot traffic' marketing ploy. How many people are going to plan a trip to Everett to buy a Pop? Only people that already live there, which is a minuscule fraction of the people invested in this line already.
Edit to add: as a friend pointed out too - creating "foot traffic' during a pandemic? I stand by my original comment about this not being a good business decision.

It’s also plausible that the current site is still undergoing some stress testings, and they don’t want to have another problem like the Dwight with Doll/SDCC drop.

we can agree to disagree but what other explanation would you come up with for having an only in-store drop other than wanting ppl to travel to the store?

People are already not happy with Funko because of the site mess...this would seem like a step backwards in improving customer relations by releasing this in a store 99.9% of their customers can't get to.

They shouldn't want people to travel there during a pandemic. And they couldn't possibly make as much selling that locally as offering it online like the other Myths releases. It just encourages flipping, as they know most people that want this aren't going to be the ones buying it in store. Why not offer up something exclusive from a line that already isn't hard to get pieces for?
