Fundays 2025 Fives Predictions and Five Wishes

[sealordbrian]

Very excited to see Franny get some Fundays love. I bet we see it at both the event and at-home boxes (please)!

[dr-FOMO]

I was expecting Franny release for this year's Fundays but seeing how she was revealed fairly recent, it may take longer production time before we start seeing "Franny as". But certainly very high hopes for next year! If it stays as it is like this year, can expect the mascot, a "Freddy as" and a "Franny as" for pop. And Franny Sodas! Excited to see those too!

I was thinking an entire pop for Franny at Fundays this year but she only go the bitty treatment!

Considering this years Fundays pops were "leaked" from last year, i'm guessing they make this wayyyyy in advance than we think. I thought maybe a few months before fundays, but it seems meticulous and lengthy planning is put into it.

Freddy as Gambit. Freddy as Blade.

Freddy blade!!!!

The bottom of the boxes have a print date of early in the year. Might have been a little too soon to have franny produced

I have had the honor of creating the Fundays wish list thread for three years. AKA the one too excited for the next year that I create this thread the week or day after or the day of the previous year. I hope there is a Fundays in 2025. But we move forward and be hopefully optimistic. I partially hit 364 days before Fundays 2024 on kind of 3 of 5. A cyclops and disney and partial credit for transformers. I had thought Soundwave would have made the most sense but that happened early with Fright Night. Saying disney is kind of a cop out because its so broad but hey.... I missed with Star Wars but maybe skipping a year made sense after so many in 2023. So let's put out our Top Five predictions. And separately top five hopes. If someone gets all five of their predictions right I will send them a bunch of swag from Fundays past. Bag. Shirt. Pin. Popcorn. Chicken sandwich.

Prediction:
1) Potter. Two years in a row. Make it three? Let's dream big and say a grey headed voldemort or bearded dumbledore.
2) Star Wars. Took a year off after chewy and anakin and mando and random endor han and others in 2023. Return? Let's go with vader.
3) GI JOE. It took years between Cobra Commander in 2016 and Destro in 2022. And since we have had snake eyes, stormshadow, zartan. I am going to go with Serpentor.
4) Wrestler. Started with Hogan and Sting. Took some years off. And now with Austin and Piper and Macho Man fantastic. Let's say...... Shawn Michaels ? Freddy Macho Man was so good.....
5) Disney/Pixar. This is a lame prediction because its so broad. But I am making it ha. But how about I say Carl from Up to match Russell.

Hopes: Emperor. R2D2. Serpentor. Sully. Voldemort.

Wouldn't have predicted Saturday morning Rocky for this year. But makes sense to go with cereal and Sat AM cartoons. Always cool to have out of the park (kind of) show up. Everyone else's turn. Sorry for the random capitalization. I am post SDCC/Fundays tired.

I’m guessing more anime. It’s really been a spark for pops.

[NoobMaster69]

Freddy as Gambit. Freddy as Blade.

yes yes yes 100% YES

Yeah there's probably a lot of footwork and paperwork done behind the scenes before we will see it come into reality. But I'm sure it's already in the works!

Oh nice info, I'm thinking the same, that means we may get to see it happen next year?! or in time for Fright Night?! haha

[fieldsy32]

Will be interesting to see if it is the same or different.

[rexflexall]

Freddy as Gambit. Freddy as Blade.

Freddy blade!!!!

Freddy Blade with a bloody chase!!

[deadlycollects]

Freddy as Gambit. Freddy as Blade.

Freddy blade!!!!

Freddy Blade with a bloody chase!!

A metallic one would look sick! All black metallic

[joeb0011]

Freddy as Gambit. Freddy as Blade.

Freddy blade!!!!

Hell yea
Freddy as Blade
Franny as Electra!!

[funkoz34]

Looking forward to Franny being apart of the fundays box as well.

[The1one1]

Freddy Doctor Doom and Freddy book of boba fett with frannie as fennec wishful thinking but it’s possible I guess

[CAHLEB]

Prediction:
3) GI JOE. It took years between Cobra Commander in 2016 and Destro in 2022. And since we have had snake eyes, stormshadow, zartan. I am going to go with Serpentor.

I really wish they’d stop with the GI Joe. Just look at the values. People wouldn’t even pay $50 for Zartan at Fundays. Like it’s obvious only a small fraction of people want them yet they churn out thousands of them. Schoolhouse Rock was another bad one this year.

[littlegoldie]

I want to see Franny Funkos! Please make it happen.

[rexflexall]

:compress:

Freddy blade!!!!

Freddy Blade with a bloody chase!!

A metallic one would look sick! All black metallic

That sounds epic too!

It might be obvious to you. But I don't think I am the only person who looks forward to a GIJOE freddy. And zartan was executed well. I certainly prefer it over an operation guy but I respect those who feel otherwise. And if you are focused on how the price is to sell the pop you received that is also a personal decision of yours but not one I focus on. And if you are focused on value look at the value of Cobra commander. It has more to do with edition size than the license. Large range with MOTU and there are plenty of people who prefer MOTU over most other freddys.

I’ve kept 90% of my Fundays stuff. I don’t collect for value. But 3 people at my table got a Zartan and we all had trouble trading it. I finally succeeded right before the lights went off but it was hard. I had people laugh at me . And I wasn’t trading for something big. I asked for Elvis, which was 250 pieces more. I didn’t even want Elvis. I just didn’t want Zartan.

I’m not saying there aren’t people that don’t like them. I just don’t think that there should be a total of 3,750 of these because the demand is not there. Look at Gol D. Roger - 3400 pieces but the demand is there.

At least you had the opportunity to trade (and attend) this year! During the first fundays after Covid, Blacklight Battle, the in person fundays boxes had no variety so trading was non existent, besides the protos and the prizes

Oh absolutely. Extremely grateful I got to attend.

[Ronnie18]

I loved that they brought back the protos. For next year I hope they make more anime Freddy pops. Maybe Sailor Moon Franny. Conan O’Brien has a guest.

[deadlycollects]

Looking forward to Franny being apart of the fundays box as well.

She will pop up next year hopefully !

[ddiggler421]

I was suprised there wasn’t any franny this year for the con also suprised there wasn’t a Freddy as luffy or gol d rogers so hopefully we see something of that sort next year

[nostaljay]

It was probably very difficult for them to have the licensing/contract to make a Freddy as (One Piece Character), and a lot easier for them to recolor an existing one piece mold and make it limited

[runtodere]

I think my biggest wish is that they do a fundays next year and don't change it too much now taht Mike is gone

Hope they do 1night instead of 2. Too much going at con to attend both nights & make it more exclusive again

I actually agree with this - two nights was a lot and it felt like 90% of my con was Funko. Although, I guess that's not terrible.

Agree with you on this one with all the uncertainty, to use all your 5 wishes for Fundays to still happen moving forward - or all these talk would be all for naught.

Yeah, it's hard to imagine it will be the same without Mike...BUT you never know right? Maybe it will be better!?!

[justinclayton]

I’d just like a Franny.

And with 1 night again the LEs would be lower as well haha

I think both years had an attendance of 3200 people. It was just split up across 2 nights this year and they held the extra back.

Both years had an attendance of 3400 people (look at the highest piece count that was given at the event). It was just split up across 2 nights this year.

Last years outdoors one lowest LEs were 100 & this years they had 50 LEs

I’m confused .

Doesn’t that invalidate your first comment?

You said 1 night would have lower LE’s but then comment about how this year’s 2 night event had a lower LE over the1 night event.

[funkoz34]

Looking forward to Franny being apart of the fundays box as well.

She will pop up next year hopefully !

Hopefully!!.. haha Doesn't look like there will be a Fright Night happening either..

[Katers]

Freddy as Gambit. Freddy as Blade.

Only if we get Franny as Elektra!
