Not a pop (yet) but done by Funko top 10 list

Postby BigM » Fri Mar 05, 2021 6:34 pm

Funko has had lots and lots and lots of licenses over its 20+ year history spanning dozens of lines. Almost every character that has been made by Funko has been turned into a pop. This list will show off 10 characters that have not gotten the pop treatment yet as of this writing.

Please note that I am not including the reaction line which was a collaboration with Super 7 and the timeline of when the partnership ended is unclear (plus most if not all of all of them have been made into pop now). I am also excluding Funko original characters since I could make an entire list based off Spastik Plastik alone. Certain variants of characters aren’t included such as Yellow Lantern Sinestro since there is a Sinestro pop already. PEZ referenced are the wacky wobbler pez, not pops.

List is of course subject to change as potential leaks could come true (although, look at the McDonalds pops being “leaked” multiple times over the years).


10. Fantastic Mr Fox

One of the most surprising characters that has not been made into pop is from the Wes Anderson film of the same name. Brian loves this movie and even once joked in an interview that they lost money on this line but wanted it. To be fair, I would do the same thing. Other characters were made as as Legacy figures but none have been made into pop.

Spoiler: show

9. The Fly

Maybe they’ll do a remake of this movie (again) and we’ll get a pop of it. First made as a Wacky Wobbler and even as a PEZ with an ultra rare variant and then showed up in the second series of horror mystery minis.

Spoiler: show
Image



8. Pink Panther

Once again, Wacky Wobbler and PEZ but not a pop. This is bound to happen eventually.

Spoiler: show
Image



7. Barack Obama

Funko has only done a handful of politicians and most of them have made been in the last 2 years. In 2016 we got the big 3 presidential nominees and before that we got Wobblers of Obama, Lincoln and Sarah Palin!? Even a “Super Obama” was done as a wobbler and a Nodnik. Maybe it could happen if Funko does continue to make more presidents.

Spoiler: show
Image



6. Donnie Darko

This is one of the most shocking imo. These are the ONLY single Dorbz characters that have not been made into pop out of the 700+ made. The only other one is Einstein who is in the Dorbz ride. Most character variants are made and some rides are missing but the characters in them are pops.

Spoiler: show
Image
Image


5. Jim Morrison

The “rock” line has been expanding a lot over the last few years and has covered musicians that were done in other forms such as Bob Marley, Biggie, Kiss and Elvis among others. One that hasn’t gotten to pop is The Doors singer. Done as a Funko Force and Wacky Wobbler.

Spoiler: show
Image


4. Young Frankenstein

The classic Mel Brooks film! Featuring Igor, Dr Frankenstein and the Monster. Only done as Vinyl Idolz.

Spoiler: show
Image


3. Alf

Not sure why this hasn’t happened. Not the most popular character ever but recognizable to many.

Spoiler: show
Image


2. The King

Seriously!? Done as a Wacky Wobbler and Funko Force with chases! Looks like Ronald did beat him out.

Spoiler: show
Image


1. Seinfeld. COMING SOON

Not sure what the situation is with this one is. I’ve heard Jerry doesn’t like his image portrayed as toys but I really don’t know. Done as a Vinyl Idolz set, with notable characters such as Jerry and Elaine missing, it’s the only time Funko has done them as of now...

Bruh, so many shockers on that list. Donnie Darko is definitely the must "WHAT????" one they haven't done. It would sell so well, its my boss's favorite movie so I know they'd buy them all lol The chase Frank was a chase I found at Funko HQ one week after their launch. So many good memories of that. I wish I could go back then lol The opening time line was like 4 people. But now I'm just being nostalgic lol

This is a great thread. Slowly, but surely a lot of the ad icon wobblers became pops, so I'm hoping it's a matter of time.

From your list, hoping for Pink Panther the most. Interested to see what other ones people can think of.

How about the Dick Tracy wobbler, he would make a great pop!

Thank you and love this thread, Mickey!

Actually, I was thinking about Mr. Fantastic Fox and why it doesn't have any Pop! made yet a few days ago (since I am thinking of monthly quiz night questions for our local Funko group here in the Philippines.)

Will definitely update this once I have something. :)

ALF and pretty much any character from Mel Brooks movies would be an instant buy for me.

A few years back Brian posted that Fantastic Mr. Fox Pops were coming... Still waiting years later.

Always waiting for more pops from ANY Wes Anderson movie. We only have three pops, one rock candy, and six vynl.

I think with Fantastic Mr. Fox that probably needs to be re-negotiated ever since the Disney Fox buyout.

This was at least 2 -3 years before the merger. Another property Brian mention that never came to fruition, that belongs on that list is Reservoir Dogs. It has the perfect style for Pop.

I love the horror lines, so give me the Fly and Donnie Darko (sort of horror). I did a concept of the Fly a while back, when he is vomiting, that would make an awesome action pose.

I definitely agree with the King. I have stopped buying Ad Icons for the most part due to space concerns, but I would get him for sure.

That Mr Fox movie was very bad the first time we watched it but got better and better. I know it has a cult following so I’m surprised it didn’t get Pops yet.

Pink Panther is still one of my dreams to see in a Funko Pop (flocked). If they do make him please do not make him itch crazy like if I touch it (LOL). Alf I've seen on so many list so I'm shocked we haven't gotten him yet. Mr Fox would be cool. Great list BigM. :freddy3:
