Why not do an authors line like they have with pop icons and directors, you could have Terry pratchet which would be cool plus maybe jk Rowling holding a plush of Harry or something.

I just never heard of people talking about it. Even the two movies that was made people have no idea who or what it was.


I think it's probably best if people don't know about the movies. The second one was The Last Airbender Live Action caliber bad.

The Dresden Files are my favorite book series of all time, but it seems to float under the radar in pop culture a bit, unfortunately. The show wasn't very good, but the books are amazing and so well written I can never put them down. Sadly he's way behind now due to personal issues so it's been like 3-4 years since a new book as come out.

Pops though, I'd buy them all, every single character or variant, haha.

I am quite fond of the book series, but I too mostly ignore the movies.
Honestly, I just want pops of the Greek gods and demi gods and if that means Percy Jackson versions, then I'm onboard!!

Yeah the movies are pretty bad. No wonder they stopped making them.

What they need is a movie reboot alongside pop releases.

I'm a fan of action novels like those from James Rollins, Matthew Reilly and Clive Cussler. If they ever do something more for books, I hope Dirk Pitt, Shane Schofield or Gray Pierce get something. Though in all fairness it will be difficult to please given the lack of illustrations, everyone's built up how these characters look in their minds.

I would be so down for that! I did like Logan Lerman though.

Maybe they could re-introduce the book line with pops based off of authors Like J. K. Rowling or Ronald Dahl or Charles Dickens
Just your average Muppet fan who loves Pops.

Maybe we could get Nancy Drew in the boom line since there's the new tv show.

Also Throne of Glass would be awesome.

I’d love a Harry!

I read the books after watching the TV show, so I always think of Harry as Paul Blackthorne.

Haha, I read a few of the books before the show, and the show was VERY weak, but Paul is awesome, so I do the same thing, lol

Not sure if this'd appeal to anyone else, but I'd love classic literature or sci fi author pops. Ernest Hemingway, George Orwell, Charles Dickens, etc.

I like some authors but not really sure if I'm a big enough fan for the collection, I'm sure plenty of others are though.

Showing my age/nationality/childish sense of humour here, but I would adore a series of Discworld characters. Such a vast and rich pantheon to choose from, but if they just brought out a few of the main ones (e.g. Rincewind, Sam Vimes, Granny Weatherwax and Death) I’d be ecstatic.
Collecting since: Dec 2018
Main series: Harry Potter, Disney, MCU, LOTR, Movies
Looking to start collecting when I win the lottery: Pulp Fiction, Stan Lee MCU appearances, Haunted Mansion, The Hobbit.

Funko collection: Around 700; mostly Pops!

ISO: HP creatures 3 pack, GITD Balrog, Stonekeeper (MCU),
