Re: So why hasn't Funko jumped on the Squishmallow Bandwagon?
Maybe it's a space issue? Funko has an editing issue and instead of just doing 1 exclusive they would want to make endless designs. I used to work for a company that warehoused Kelly Toys squishmallows distributed to Dave and Busters. They took up a massive amount of space. Funko moved to Buckeye because of space. And pretty sure that filled quickly with what they already have.

Funko had plushies before. I have a Hermonie and Harley Quinn.
Oh and all the Wetmore Forest plushies from HQ. That was fun flying back home with one of each.

Perhaps to much passion under one roof can create issues -- especially around convention time. Could you imagine a booth that dealt with Pops, Soda, Mondo, and then throw on top of that Squishmallows, haha!
HAHA if that happens,,, they should just the left side fo the convention center instead of just the corner

I totally agree. I don't mind Funko trying new things, but it feels like there's a lot going on right now.

Got to imagine that management is dialing in how they're wanting to move forward.

I honestly thought they were going to explore that universe further, it's a shame it ended where it did.

my daughter wishes that funko released squishmellow-like product. She thinks squishmellow are just too big and we run out of space quickly. Something smaller would be nice.
