The blacklight optimus is the best blacklight freddy ever.

That is my grail. After that Fundays, I tried to trade for a blacklight Freddy as Optimus but no luck. I did get the metallic Freddy as Optimus which is pretty sweet but I've always had my eye on that blacklight version.


I dunno--you did well with the metallic. Having seen both in person, I'd say the metallic is the winner. Still, to each his own.

Metallic Optimus is a great pop as well.
But agreed, blacklight optimus is a nice grail to obtain. Good luck on your search.

It would absolutely be an instant grail. For years, I've heard about how Nintendo is so stingy with their license of anything Mario, but I can walk into a Dollar Tree and find the crappiest pvc figurines, wash cloths, and toothbrushes with Mario all over them. :-k :-k :-k

I've been pretty lucky over the years with Freddy's but my ultimate would be the Freddy Cereal Monsters. Once day I will own a set!

I don't know if I can say "best" but my all-time favorite was the Freddy Funko as Spider-Man. Loved it when it came out, love it today.

I mean at least start with Mario Galaxy pops from the movie, it shouldn't be that hard to have merch from the film.

You'd think so, but they didn't get the license for the last Mario movie. I am pretty sure it's not for lack of trying. This is likely a Nintendo thing.

I believe Nintendo does not license their characters. Hopefully that changes in the future

I won't post the hit rate for this year because it was terrible for me. But we did hit on the JOE and wrestler and Marvel. I would have started the post on the obligatory night of Fundays or the morning after. But I was "busy" with some stuff. If you know then you know. So let's have some predictions. And then one personal hope ? Sound fun ? If it doesn't what can I say lol.

Let's start it up.
1) Marvel
2) JOE
3) Star Wars
4) DC
5) MOTU

One personal hope. GI JOE Freddy Serpentor.

I'd be very surprised if there's no drop of MOTU pops :freddy2:

That's weird because they have what I believe is an amazing partnership based on their Pokémon pops. :freddy2:

That’s the thing. Nintendo doesn’t have full ownership. Creatures Inc. (if I’m correct) has licensing rights.

Didn't think of power rangers. Would like those to be numbered or limited :freddy2:

That might be the grail of fundays for Franny if they do it.
But do we want Gladys with makeup, or old wrinkly robe gladys. I guess both huh.?

Whatever happens, Nintendo pops is what Funko needs, whether it's SDCC exclusives, Commons or Fundays Freddy as Mario and Franny as Peach.

A chase Freddy? Are you trying to give us all a heart attack? Also... a Void chase variant would be insane! I'd have to get it signed by the man himself, Paul Jenkins. He started the ride that was the Sentry in the mid-2000's and I'd need his signature.

Lol I guess you're right... I was trying to think of examples where there are variations from event vs at home and usually the count is lower like the Penguin Freddy Funko from Funtastic Voyage.... so dang.... I take it back... no sentry/void lol
