Possibility for an A&W Rooty The Root Bear POP!!

Postby **TheLastAnimator** » Wed Jan 08, 2020 10:52 am

Hey Guys, it would be a great idea for there to be A&W Rooty the Root Bear Pop! Considering that the A&W Root Beer company was also open to it, by sending out a tweet to Funko to make it happen 2 years ago, it seems like a great idea!

I’d even love to see a flocked version, and a root beer scented version! Or maybe a metallic edition limited to 7,500 sounds like a good idea too!
Let’s see it happen Funko!

Flicked and scented!!

This is a win win all the way around!!

With the back and forth between A&W and Funko how is this not real already?!?

This would be fun!

Didnt even know A&W had a mascot. A flocked version would look great!

I'm not a root beer fan but I'd still buy the pop

Agreed! It would smell soooooooooooooo good. Can this be a thing already? Damn, a root beer float sounds good right now lol

With A&W reaching out to Funko you have to think this will happen eventually.

Postby **rexflexall** » Thu Jan 09, 2020 10:46 am

Will it come flavored too? LOL

Postby **millone** » Thu Jan 09, 2020 10:57 am

Thats awesome the company was campaigning for it. I agree, given that, how has funko not done this already? Think of the bear icon lineup. Icee, smokey, aw, coca cola....

Would love scented ones for most of the ad icons, this one definitely included

I am so down for this!!! I have a lot of fond memories as a kid going to the local A&W

Right?! All I can think of is Flocked AND Scented, please!! If that ever happened... :mir1:

Postby **YeetGrimes** » Thu Jan 09, 2020 12:26 pm

This is the first I'm hearing of this Ad Icon and I LOVE HIM! Funko always gives me new learning opportunities lol

Postby **methodsmadness** » Thu Jan 09, 2020 12:30 pm

Not only is this an awesome Pop idea, but also pretty cool that a company reached out to Funko for one.
I wonder how many other instances this has happened on Twitter or IG or somewhere public.

Only way it would truly be awesome

This is the one I really want besides Nesquik Rabbit. A friend of mine has a glass cup with him on it and every time I see it, I want him made into a POP! more.

I'd be down for this.

Postby **GettingSodas** » Thu Jan 09, 2020 2:34 pm

I’m sure eventually.

I’ll be grabbing it when it does come out!

Postby **GettingSodas** » Thu Jan 09, 2020 2:39 pm

I like how M&M won the poll and they haven’t even been made yet lol

I didn't even know that the rootbeer bear was a thing. Cool looking. I'd buy.

Postby **hpellot** » Thu Jan 09, 2020 3:58 pm

great idea i had forgoteen about this charactor

Postby **TheLastAnimator** » Thu Jan 09, 2020 4:22 pm

Even looking at the original, his design looks so cute! Even the box has that vintage design that I think works well with the character. Would love to see the box art also implemented on its funko pop box, if it were to happen.

Postby **KidMarvel** » Thu Jan 09, 2020 6:16 pm

Wow this would be one of my fave pops ever, hope Funko goes ahead with it! All time favourite drink is Root Beer!!

I’m not a fan of root beer but I accept the Funko slogan of “everyone’s a fan of something” make it for this Funatic Funko!

Postby **Sonic77** » Thu Jan 09, 2020 8:12 pm

Another Ad Icon I never heard of, personally not a fan of the character but I do like the idea of a root beer scented version.

Postby **Chernabog** » Thu Jan 09, 2020 8:49 pm

Love the look of this character so I'd pick it up if I got the chance to

Postby **Nemesis989** » Thu Jan 09, 2020 8:59 pm

I didn't know his name was Rooty....cool!

I was sitting back waiting for someone to say creme soda variant. Lol

Postby **Funko_boy13** » Thu Jan 09, 2020 10:00 pm

If there gonna do him which I imagine Funko is there needs to be a scented one like the ice polar bear.

Postby **Boymom4** » Thu Jan 09, 2020 10:03 pm

Definitely would like to see this one scented. I love A&W root beer, cream soda and you can't ever go wrong with a root beer float

Postby **emcee** » Thu Jan 09, 2020 10:04 pm

Definitely deserves a POP!

Now a scented version might actually work here. But I wouldn't want a (flicked) pop. Would probably be all fizzed over and covered in soda. Sorry just thought that would be funny. I know you meant flocked.

Thanks for the laugh! lol

Now I'm thirsty for Root Beer! lol

This would be one of my favorite pops if it was made. Since it takes a few months between concept and production of a figure, it could be in the pipeline possibly! I love A&W's fries. They had a 25 cent deal a year or two ago for a medium fry. Yummmmm
