That is interesting to hear some back story on why Kozik wasnt a fan...so maybe a commemorative POP would be good in his honor

R.I.P Frank

So I also became a collector because of K.R and the infamous Dunny. I've been saying the same thing for a while, it would be pretty cool to see Funko come up with a specific line of Pops designed by well known artists. We are seeing the Ron English pops now and how awesome they look so maybe we can make an Artist Custom series and let those be the new limited number editions. However, Funko has already flooded the market with dozens of the same so idk if this would work knowing the vinyl collectors are a bunch of stuck up brats and think Funko isn't a real collectible lol

Funko also passed on the Homies which would've been a huge success and revival of the franchise, goofy move imo :-$

I don't see KR doing anything with Funko. There might be some opportunities for artists that work with KR to do some collabs with Funko but probably not a direct thing. Like mentioned before, i'm ok with them staying separate. They've each carved out their own thing.

RIP to Frank Kozik
