Okay, so Funko went out on a limb and made a Poe wobbler. Being a fan of the Pop platform, I started wondering how a Poe Pop would look, and ultimately decided it would look pretty cool.
Then I expanded the line. I think Twain would translate well to Pop, and Hemingway, too (if he wore a bullfighter cape). Shakespeare would look kind of cool (start with Krusty, lop off the hair at the top).
Not sure who else they could do. Those sort of came to mind as being easily identified by non-English Majors. Any suggestions for others?
PS- I would absolutely love a Sheldon Cooper, Green Lantern shirt wearing, Pop.

Re: Pop Writers!
Dante could be fun. Put little devil horns on him.
I had Hunter Thompson, Oscar Wilde and Dickens on my second round list as well as that toilet joke writer guy. He's a solid number two.

Re: Pop Writers!
In addition to writers...I think a whole line of historical figures might be cool.

I could not add much to your wonderful list, kind sir (oh, okay - I'd certainly do the romantic poets: Wordsworth (with his sister Dorothy), Coleridge, Keats (consumptive), Byron (club foot! Cape!), and Shelley. Okay, Mary Shelly, too. Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, and Robert Frost for an American contingent).
No love for Hemingway? From a business point of view, I'd think Funko could sell a stream of 'em in Key West.
Hunter S. Thompson ans Burroughs seem like no-brainers, I agree!

Re: Pop Writers!
I like the Whitman figure. From a marketing standpoint, I can see expanding into historical figures. How about Napoleon? Wouldn't a Pop Napoleon be about life-sized?
