The donkey would have been culturally insensitive!

I would totally dig the Philippine character, since I’m from Manila, but I don’t think we will have one since the already revealed all 12 characters at the back of the Pop! Around The World Pops!

I didn't think about the educational component of this line. I like it. It is pretty awesome
Not that i like to tout this, but i work for a popular doll company and i always hear about how people liked it more when they focused on historical stories and stuff bc it made the toy educational. It makes sense to do this with a portion of the Funko offerings.

This is a very interesting angle. Never thought about it, but it also makes a lot of sense.
They started doing that with American History, but I wish they would expand beyond that.
The Myths line, while not factual, is a good representation of the potential a historically related pop could have. The Myths have a brief backstory on the box to introduce each mythical creature. It's quite fascinating to me, and I can see them applying that to an expansion of the historical line.

You can't compare the American Girl Doll Josefina to what Funko offered for Mexico in Around the World. They are really nothing more than cute portrayals of American sterotypes. There is nothing educational being served up with any of these figures.

This is very interesting indeed. I'm sure there is bigger potential though.
Friends from the Philippines, let us know what you would like to see

I definitely noticed that.
But also I'm a bit confused. I swear I saw in some NatGeo documentary that the donkey originates from Egypt and Western Asia.

I've never seen them OOS, but I can totally see this happening. I'm actually planning on picking up a few for some custom projects. Hopefully, they let me buy them without having to put all the pieces together.

Not gonna lie, I had to look it up and I learned something. That's a solid idea! I can definitely see this translating well into pop form.

You have to buy each figure to get the crown, they don't allow parts only.

I figured much. I meant to put together a whole figure. I just wondered if they let you take the loose parts.
