Jelly Belly is awesome. Could be like the Space Invader pop with all sorts of versions but maybe people wouldn't like that

I agree Mr. Owl would be my choice too. Just thinking about the idea of a Mr. Owl Pop takes me back to being a kid watching the commercials.

Candy Ad Icons are a completely untapped potential for Ad Icons, especially with most of the notable cereal ad icons being released. Outside of Bazooka Joe we have a open field to work with

I think the most obvious is Mr Owl and similar Tootsie Pop characters, that has a nostalgia range for people spanning many different decades. Probably M&Ms after. Hershey and Mars has multiple properties that can work great for Pops, and more individual and independent brands like Jelly Belly would love the chance to be made into a figure. Many have the chance for color variants (Nerds for example) for added sales

This character has been spreading heavily in recent weeks as a major want on multiple social media sites, and I think Funko should get on it

I love the idea of the Haribo bear for gummie bears, but also this makes me nervous because it would be never ending. So many awesome candy mascots...M&M's would be great too :)

It would be fun to see Red and Yellow especially. They could even do variants for the different holiday ads that have run over the years.

M & M and the Mr. Owl from Tootsie Pop. Not sure if the 100,000 grand bar has an icon, but I used to love that candy bar.

Theres also a lot that can be done for m&ms! There could be the regular versions, holiday versions, and any other appearance where they're wearing something they usually won't wear. For example

You are absolutely right, which is why I said it kinda makes me nervous...there are soooo many possibilities for candy icons lol. M&M's alone have a surplus of possibilities. Love the idea of adding to the icons, but don't like the idea of knowing so many can be made lol
