Top Gun POPs

Postby VinnieVinyl » Fri Jan 10, 2020 1:42 am

With the sequel coming out this year you think that it's revival will warrant a demand for the original movie POP treatment. You can even do a movie moment set with the volleyball scene.

The only problem is Tom Cruise doesn't like products made of his likeness, at least that's the story I've heard ever since the Mummy Pop! fiasco. Still, I wouldn't mind an Iceman Pop!

Oh man that sucks. Another idea would be POP ride with him in jet or on the motorcycle. "That's right!!!, Ice-man, I AM DANGEROUS"

I would love to see these pops. A f-14 tomcat funko pop with maverick and goose in the seats similar to the big millenium falcon pop. These would be my dream pops for sure.

If they do it they gotta make them all pop rides with the jets, would be pretty sick.

As mentioned above due to tom cruise being in Scientology he can not have anything made in his likeness such as a figure :(

They might still do figures but exclude Tom Cruise’s character.

Probably one of the only franchises where they could not include the main character and they would still sell. Goose and iceman would be easy grabs. Mattel did get the top gun license for product though which is supposed to start showing up this year. Cant imagine they paid the money for it without being able to make maverick figures

I think we should just move on and accept the fact that we will not get any Tom Cruise pops. It’ll be nice but probably will never happened.

Same here, I'd actually prefer some original Top Gun Pops with Iceman, Maverick, Goose, Merlin, Slider with their flight helmets on. Lol would also want a variant version of them shirtless playing volleyball.

Did someone say Iceman pop (see my Iceman wannabe signature) ?!?!?! I have been waiting for years. Forget Cruise. Give me every other pilot from the original haha.

Oh, I remember that Mummy situation. I wanted that Pop! because it was Tom Cruise, so I was bummed when I found out it was cancelled due to what you said. Maybe things will be different in 2020, right?

Agree. If no Maverick pop... then it isn’t really Top Gun.
And I’m a big fan of Tom Cruise too 8-[

If there’s a helmet that you can’t tell what the face looks like, maybe they can get away with just saying “Maverick” on the pop ride since it can’t resemble Tom Cruise for it to be acceptable :-k

We can just have the line with nothing revolving around Maverick right? Lol! I wish he would allow his characters made into pops. A lot of classic movies he is in I would love to see some. Days of Thunder being one of them.

I'm a huge fan of the first movie. Hope the second one is decent. Both movies would yield great pops and rides.

I think it would be way more then unreal. It would be so awesome. I would love it so much. I know Funko would hit it out of the park with the details.

agreed 100%! if they can make the Millennium Falcon, they can for sure do the F-14's. I saw some concerns here about Tom Cruise and using his likeness in pop form, what if he was just in his flight suit and wearing the helmet? is that still technically his likeness, or is that Maverick? Just thinking of some creative ways to get around it if it came down to it haha.

What surprises me though is Funko has shown that they will work with the actor to make sure it is how they want it. I mean I just feel this would be a win win for Tom Cruise.

I agree!!! But Tom Cruise is an odd one who just doesn’t see eye to eye on this. Hope this changes with Top Gun.

I don't know if that can be possible, because I didn't see any Tom Cruise pop at all from any of his movies. So I don't know if they have a license for it.

That would make a lot of sense as to why we haven't seen other pops from his movies.
