Yeah same. I wonder why it was stopped/cancelled (possibly)

I would like to see pops based on the Dark Tower books. I know they have a few for the movie but that movie was beyond sub par.

Well they'll probably be better received than the movie ones ;-)

I've always wished for Goosebumps pops... maybe I just can't get past being a kid at heart lol

Postby **FireFist** » Sun Jun 02, 2019 8:29 pm

Would definatly want goosebumps or Series of unfortunate events as pops.

Legend of Drizzt
Chronicles of Narnia
Stephen King fantasy books (Dark Tower, The Outsider, Mr. Mercedes trilogy, etc.)

I’m still waiting for the Lorax to make a pop that is not an exclusive.

My votes in for Garfield.

Well I better get out the list of new pops and add then onto it.

The problem I have is that when I read a book I have my own image of what the character looks like. Having it made would just ruin it for me.

This is a thread I hadn't thought about... Oh I have suggestions.

Philip K Dick, Isaac Asimov and Harlan Ellison have massive bodies of work to pull from. Movie, TV and illustrated versions could be used as a basis.
All You Need is Kill. There's the manga version to pull characters from.
Initial D manga rides would be so dope, but that'd require all kinds of extra licensing.

Sherlock Holmes would be the best choice

Postby **Jezter** » Mon Jun 03, 2019 9:22 am

Still hoping we get Dresden Files some day, even if all we get is Harry.
That said, there are a ton of characters I'd want, but just Harry would at least make me super happy.

Are you talking about the books?? They aren't cancelled. ToG is finished. ACOTAR completed Feyre's story with A Court of Frost and Starlight. There will be another book coming out next year set in the same world, but focusing on other characters. Sarah J Maas has an adult fantasy book coming out next year as well.

Yes, love the Stephen King books/ideas! Cujo, Misery were some of my faves.

How about Christine the car. Pretty neat and cool concept.

Postby **MacKazoo** » Tue Jun 04, 2019 2:36 pm

Sherlock Hemlock would be a funny parody and book character.

I also think it'd be quite cool to see some Harry Potter ones from the ongoing illustrated books, but stylised a bit differently.

I would totally be down for some pops from Roald Dahl's books. Definitely The Witches and Matilda.

After a bit of looking around, here's some others (from classic children's books) I'd like to see just to name a few.
- Harold and the Purple Crayon
- Madeline
- Corduroy
- Amelia Bedelia
- Ms. Frizzle (from the Magic School Bus)

They might make Misery for the movie line, since Kathy Bates was so good as Annie Wilkes, but either way we definitely need more Stephen King

yes please make this happen!

Postby **LakerNation1216** » Thu Jun 06, 2019 3:44 pm

Better yet, how about a Stephen King pop himself!

Postby **LakerNation1216** » Thu Jun 06, 2019 3:45 pm

Flocked or Bloody Cujo? How about Flocked and Bloody! Possibilities are endless! lol

Postby **Brunodog** » Thu Jun 20, 2019 3:58 pm

Hopefully now that Funko is carrying on the comics line that means they might be going to do something with the books!

If they expand to do more of the writers/authors the I'm sure he will be one of them.

Postby **YeetGrimes** » Thu Jun 20, 2019 7:29 pm

Goosebumps FOR SURE. I'd also love to see Diary of a Wimpy Kid Pop!s. That series was a huge part of my childhood and I'd love to see Funko's version!

Part of the book line could be Authors, so basically the book of version of directors. Or they could just go in the icons line

Yes! That is what I was hoping for. That would be great. Not sure there would be a ton but even George RR Martin for GOT got one. Maybe JK Rowling for Harry Potter. I'm sure HP fans would like to see her and purchase.

I would love to see a JK Rowling pop! I don't know if she would like one but I have a feeling it'd be a popular one.

I imagine there are a lot of fans that would like to see a JK Rowling pop.

Agatha Christies characters as pops would be cool

Postby **deathlycollector** » Mon Jul 22, 2019 10:06 pm

I was disappointed that the book line never really went anywhere.

i am on board with this.. this will be a new target market for Funko if ever they proceed with these lines

I just never heard of people talking about it. Even the two movies that was made people have no idea who or what it was.

Who is online
