Oh man, the potential to have Big Ben go with Sir Barkingham, or the Taj Mahal with Priya.


Heck yeah Trevor! These characters would get so much love! I can see a collector saying “I found Sir Barkinghan, so I need to add Big Ben to have it complete.”

I agree. It’s a cool concept. But at current scale it’s really hard to collect all these and display.


Yeah true about space for them. If they make very limited amounts to start, they could test how collectors feel about it.

Don’t get me wrong I think they are cool and hope they make more. But think about all the work going into to making one, artists, designers, sculpting and making the prototype. It seems like it would be costly to do all that.

Since they have POP! towns this wouldn't be toooooo surprising. I suppose it all depends on the market?

Yeah you’re right. I think we’ll see how much demand there is for Funko HQ. They have made History pops like Abe Lincoln and can imagine the Liberty bell being a historic landmark to be made?

You could make a whole display centered around a trip around the world with the characters and matching iconic locations. It would be like those model trains sets, but with pops.

Funko displays like this would have friends come over and say it looks awesome! A lot of outsiders think funko is just bobble head characters.

Right? I would think that would bring some more fun to the pop hunting!


It would be cool if they were exclusive to the city you were visiting, kind of like the starbucks cups

Exactly, slowly but surely we're getting this village idea for all new display potential.

I think this would really only work for things like the Statue of Liberty and Mt Rushmore. Not really sure how well the monuments would sell without a pop counterpart.

Also size of these pieces is a no go for me lol

Add in all of the pop towns and you could move from the real world to pop culture.

It would be, though I think that could be complicated for Funko to get them in the right places, and for tourists to find the stores that do sell them.

It would be awesome if they came with mini historic landmarks from their respective country (and not pop towns because I'm running out of room! lol)

Yeah, really expanding this passport line, with original characters or local myth characters could be a great compliment to the landmarks.
