Which Director Pops should be made next?

Postby Kenjutsu763 » Wed Aug 01, 2018 9:29 am

With the release of Taika, Waititi, James Wan, and soon Guillermo del Toro, what other directors would you love to see get the Pop treatment?

My Personal Tops:
Joss Whedon
Steven Speilberg
Clint Eastwood
James Cameron

George Lucas would be cool. He’s not technically a director, but I’d like a Kevin Feige pop as well.

I NEED to see blood-splattered variants of the Horror Four: George Romero, John Carpenter, Tobe Hooper, and Wes Craven [-o<

But since Funko seems to be predominantly Popifying more modern directors, the two I would love love love to see would be both Edgar Wright and Ryan Coogler. Arguably two of the best, most unique directors working today. Hell, throw Patty Jenkins in there, as well! Make her part of the Wonder Woman 2 line. That'd be awesome.

I would definitely love to see Tarantino and Scorsese. Both are ground breakers with their work and deserve to be idolized in pop form

I would also love to see Clint Eastwood idolized as a director. He is definitely one of the more deserving ones for sure

Another option would be Sesame Street. I’d say with his body of work that he is more than deserving.

I think the director Pops work best for people who are really distinctive looking in some way like Hitchcock.

I'd love to see George Lucas and Tommy Wiseau - I know Tommy is up for it, I have seen him Tweet to Funko before about it.

I want Spielberg and George lucas. ALSO, I think it would be a great idea to make different Spielberg variants. Just make each one based on the different hats he wears with his movie logos on them. For example, A spielebrg pop where he's wearing a hat that has the E.T. Logo, or one where he's wearing a hat that has the Indiana jones logo.
