Since these seem to have already been produced, hope the wait isn’t too long.

A new costume every month!

Spoiler: show

I was just thinking about how cool these would be as POPs the other day! I have the Witch and Frankenstein's monster nugget. That would be such a cool promotion. Maybe coming in a smaller box and have them be mini POPs?

And that crazy scientist...who I cannot remember his name

Spoiler: show

I think his name was just The Professor. That would be a really cool con exclusive since it's a more niche character but still would be so amazing in POP form!!!!!

When they tore down the play areas, the trees were put up for sale with the rest of the equipment. You can find them randomly at stores or small restaurants...or someone's house

Spoiler: show

That would be so awesome! That would be great as a 6" POP!!!!! The first 6" ad icon? :eek:

Id love to see:
Captain Crook

Uncle O'Grimacy (This character screams ECCC exclusive)

CosMc

Mac Tonight

AND SPEEDY! Mcdonalds first mascot!

To be honest, this line canbranch out to many many pops. Mcdonalds has a large history, and the characters I listed are just a few of what they can do, but there are many characters they can make that's part of the family. Not only that, but add to the variants to existing characters as well. Cant wait!

Oooooo all of these are amazing ideas! The Uncle O-Grimacy seems like a great ECCC exclusive, I agree! This is why I love the ad icons line so much. There is a great history for these iconic food places and its well told through its advertising

That’s what I love about Funko and Brian’s choices! I love when he picks old ad icons, and I’ve also heard in an interview that he made a deal to make a figure out of the Fanta Jester, eho is supposedly this really old mascot of Fanta. Even though I never knew that mascot, it doesn’t matter to me, cause I love learning about it and adding it to my collection! Seriously, I have a bunch of ad icons on a shelf that goes all around my room, and it’s like a museum. I love it, and hope to see more vintage and old school ad icons as well! Especially McDonald’s! They have so many characters throughout the years and I would buy every single one of them.

I would so be in for the nuggets in costume if they did them, I probably have a couple floating around still from back then.

I feel the exact same way!! No other company is making these awesome obscure characters and also preserving pop culture history in such a diverse way.

What would be nice is they could have a McDonalds Mystery mini with each happy meal. That way they could sell more. If they did that I know I would buy some. I don't eat McDonalds anymore but we do have a homeless population I would give the food to (but I keep the mini) :freddy3:

Editing post since it has not officially been announced.

Sorry I've been MIA on the boards...with everything going on in the world right now I'm just trying to keep things balanced!

Saw the photo with the glams, hopefully helps keep things moving in the right direction!

Still hoping these are released soon and easily attainable!! I can smell the fries now!!

Thank you Funko. I would say get this set cause who knows how long Funko will have the license for them. I’m getting all as soon as they drop.

I'll be getting the set for sure! Had them all pre-ordered when GS had them and refused to cancel it for like 4 months in hopes that they would come back!! Been waiting for these guys for quite some time!

Postby **vegeta84** » Tue Apr 28, 2020 12:28 pm

I wonder when Funko will officially announce these? Hopefully within the next two weeks.

Whatever we get, I hope it’s scented, I want my pops to smell like fries 24/7

That's an excellent point. What is McDonalds all of a sudden changes their mind when they ship them and those are the only pops. So yes, get them right away.

Funny you should say that. There is actually a "french Fries fragrance oil". Google it. I've thought of buying it for a while now, but just never do.

I wonder if they will make Birdie in the future? What do you think guys?

So GS didn't cancel your order? I thought I heard someone got theirs cancelled by GS.

Maybe each GS is different but I live in AZ and they called me to let me know they had no release date and offered to cancel. I asked if I had to cancel or if I could just let it stay for a bit. They said that I could so I did but after months of nothing I decided to cancel. Who knows...maybe I just had store credit or something but I was under the impression they still had my pre-order.
