Anyone else would like an internet meme/viral stars MM series?

Great things come in mysterious miniature or pint sized packages, but which great thing will it be? It's all a mystery until you open one. Then the fun begins.

So Saltbae has recently become my god. That being said I doubt a pop would ever work for him given the amount that it would need to sell. However an MM series or internet meme or viral folks could be fun! Aside from the obvious licensing nightmare that would be involved would anyone else love to see a line like this? 1/24 Star Wars kid! 1/36 numa numa guy. 1/6 salt bae

I'd be interested but only if they were all 1/6 :devil:
I don't follow enough of this interwebz people to want the line but I'm sure other's do. I'd rather they shoot for some NFL MM's. A Brady and Gronk MM. Make them both 1/144.

Funko would be jumping the shark if this ever happens...this is a no go for me.

Pass. Pretty sure I recall them saying they aren't going to do Youtube/Viral celebs. Way too many controversial internet rejects out there.

I would never want Funko to waste their time or artist talent on stuff like this.

Things move so quickly with interent memes, by the time they made it to market, the next hot thing would be in.

“I used to be with it, but then they changed what ‘it’ was, and now what I’m with isn’t it. And what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary to me.”

Yeah, this is a huge reason why I'm not interested in a set like that. Plus how would the rights work out for something like this? Wouldn't they need the permission of said internet celebrities to use their likenesses?

I agree, I think internet memes change too fast that things may be unpopular by the time the set comes out.

The problem with memes is that they come and go within a week or two’s time, so by the time Funko designed and produced a set, it’d be filled 100% with dead memes that nobody cares about anymore. I don’t think dead memes would sell well at all.
