Re: Olympic Team Pops
I'd buy some ...
Carl Lewis
Edwin Moses
Michael Phelps (Regular with all his medals, Chase with him smoking out )
But Seriously, I'd like to see some hockey players wearing Olympic jerseys ... that would be a big hit!
Funko should release them during the Olympics time period.

You could make this an extension of the Ad Icons line and make it Olympic Heroes that have been on the front of a Wheaties box.

Re: Olympic Team Pops
I would buy some track and field related pops even from stars outside the US because I'm a huge track nerd, but overall I wouldn't expect them to sell very well at all . Maybe the basketball dream team and hockey may sell, but otherwise I don't see them being very popular unfortunately

As far as the Olympics go, nobody brought on the excitement to me like Michael Phelps. It would be cool to have a Phelps pop!

It's a good idea. It would be a huge variety to choose from being that they're so many Olympic athletes.

This was my first thought, I would love to have a Team USA hockey player pop for sure. The Miracle on Ice team would also be a perfect fit for these

It's a neat idea. I would not be interested but I know there are people that would be.
Anyone who still buys those Wheaties boxes would definitely get them

Re: Olympic Team Pops
I would love to see a line of gymnastics legends. Gymnastics is one (if not THE) most popular Olympic sports so I could see them selling.
Mary Lou Retton, Shannon Miller, Nastia Liukin, Simone Biles, Aly Raisman, etc - and since they always have a different leotard each Olympics none of them would look the same.
And if they wanted a massive seller, they could do Olympic Moments and have Kerri Strug's vault.

Please Funko make Taylor Swift Pops!
Most wanted non-Taylor Pops: Carson Teva, Naru from Prey, The Last of Us TV show

Re: Olympic Team Pops
Probably wouldn't buy these. But I never tune into the Olympics whenever they come on. And then go on a rant upset that they are pre-empting regularly scheduled programing! This is not so much an issue in the days of cable TV and streaming networks. But back in the days of only 3 major networks and a handful of local channels, I hated when my Cosby Show was cancelled for gymnastics.
Then I ask olympic fans if they watch synchronized swimming outside of the olympics, and their answer is always no. Then I ask why they watch the olympics? They say because it's a special occasion and it's only every 4 years. If it was so entertaining, I'm sure a network exec would find a way to put it on everyday like Judge Judy or Steve Harvey Family Feud.
So basically, no Olympics Pops for me

I agree with you both on this one. Don't see them doing well. But if you want them I hope you get an opportunity to get them.
