35th Mario Anniversary Pops

[GuruGuy128]

Well after seeing the line of Mario Merchandise from the Direct, I hope that this opens the door for some Funkos.

The Mario kart live racing figure is basically what I had envisioned for a mario kart ride...the dream continues I guess

[CaseyJones14]

I think you have a better chance at winning the lottery than seeing these release. Nintendo license is pretty much impossible.

[scullysdad]

I was 100% sure that they were going to show Pops at the end of the Direct when they started showing merchandise.

You're probably right but having hope is a good thing....and bad I guess haha

[rexflexall]

Funko needs to get that license down!

[willy wonka]

I would love Nintendo Pops. But I think the license is impossible at this point

[FireEmblemZack]

It'd be so cool but after seeing what LEGO had to do to get the license, I don't think Nintendo Funkos would be as simple as a simple figure. It would probably have some electronic component to it

I can’t wait to actually check out the Mario Kart ride that’s supposed to be AR like this, they already have it built in Japan

[Trendkill24hr]

I don’t think it’s impossible, I even think there was a recent leak of a Mario pop concept, not 100% sure if it was legit though. Nintendo is working with Hot Wheels and LEGO now, which no one thought would happen over a year ago. Nintendo even publicly stated that they are expanding their licenses into other business opportunities, and then later we get an awesome NES LEGO set...I’m a Nintendo fanboy too.

Fair point re: Lego NES...that does bring some hope I suppose.

I feel ya. Fingers crossed one day Nintendo will meet with Funko and have a Link Pop.

[renardchua]

This license gets talked about occasionally, but the reality really looks bleak. Here’s to hoping though!

I need a Pop deluxe Link with him pulling out the Master Sword!

Everyone is waiting for this to happen! Long shot, but we can still hope, right?

[Gonzo206]

I'm not holding my breath until I see some kind of concept design, but it would be epic!

[Trujitsu Ninja]

Hopefully this comes true. We’ve been asking for a long time.

[Trendkill24hr]

I’m still confident a Mario pop is happening, however I wonder if they’ll start with just Mario? Or, will they go all in on an entire wave of Nintendo IP (ex: Zelda, Donkey Kong, Metroid, Kid Icarus, etc...)

[Chernabog]

I'm pretty sure we'll be waiting forever for this line, but if it changes I'll be first to buy them

It always does. But maaaaaybe we can get the ball rolling?

[D4nnym4n123]

I hope so too because as a kid mario played a role in my childhood so did pokemon.

[tlaloc666]

We need all the villains from mario latiku and shy guy is a must

But i dont think funko will ever have the license

[Tusken]

Dr Mario with pills?

Shy guy is my son's favorite and ever since the Lego collaboration, I've gotten some hope that it could happen.

They did LEGO and Hotwheels too

It's just a tiny sign of hope, that's all

[rexflexall]

The need this license so bad!

[billville]

The common theme I'm seeing with the recent releases of LEGO and Hot Wheels is the fact there is some sort of interaction involved with the toy, or the ability to have a functioning playset. Maybe since Funkos are widely viewed as a collectible figure, it strays from their vision of being able to play with them, and that they will need to incorporate some interaction with it.

Just a thought.

And then we all woke up.

Exactly, HOPE !!!

[JCFun]

I'd be down on a lot more Nintendo if they can get the licensing!

Valid point, that could be the case...however, they could make them function like Amiibos.

so then you start the relationship with other products such as games with some special pops that go with the bundle...just thinking out loud here

Exactly, they could also include codes for DLC like they do with the Fortnite pops

[rexflexall]

Nintendo would bring in a whole new section of buyers!

[masonfunkocarr]

Mario Pops? This has to happen. I've been wanting Mario pops for a long time.

[Jaybrd1095]

So many can be made!!

[Serch_na]

Hope one day Nintendo make the move

[gastlecast]

A Mario funko pop would break the internet

Agree 100%! Nintendo is very protective and I could see them doing their version before allowing Funko to make them.
