A Bono pop would be killer dope.

Oh man.

Devo
Siouxsie
A Flock of Seagulls
Bauhaus
Modern English
Cyndi Lauper

Fad Gadget (check this guy out. The variations from his album covers alone would be AMAZING)

Unfortunately, we are probably the minority that would want these pops.

Probably...we can still dream, right?

Love the ideas, guys, and I'm totally on board w/ 80's artists! Not sure about the rest of you in this thread but Fundays 2018 was extra awesome for me because of the great music throughout the night. So many great ideas listed so far and a countless more that we can add to the list! Until they flat out say "no" to a license, we can keep the dream alive!

Aside from those folks/bands already listed, I'd love to see:
Aerosmith
Eurythmics
The Clash

And a big PLEASE for the Beastie Boys!

Ok I caught my breath. Lol
Yes. The Clash!!!
ABC
Bow Wow Wow
Adam Ant
The Damned
Frankie Goes to Hollywood
Talking Heads

Of Course Bowie!!

Yeah, well that's on purpose. Gavin Friday is as close as I get to U2. Look him up if you don't get it.

I Googled Gavin Friday, can't recall if I have ever heard any of his stuff. Will try to give it a try.

Not sure he’s New Wave but Adam Ant with the white stripe across his face.

Devo would be super cool. Their hats are iconic as they are also. $\:D/$

Yah, one Devo... with the red hat and the Buddy Holly glasses and the guitar

They need to make one of them holding a whip like in the video.

The 80s had such amazing music that it really deserves the VIP treatment from funko. Plus I think most of us collectors are from that era haha

I think a lot of them would go over well with the collectors.

I can't really stand Bono. Gavin Friday, childhood friend of Bono, singer with the Virgin Prunes, a more experimental early 80s act. Gavin's most accessible work is from his Shag Tobacco album. I love it.

All great bands, would love to see them as Pops, especially Robert Smith!

Adam Ant is totally new wave.

The great thing about Devo is the sorta reinvented themselves every album. (Like Fad Gadget lol

)
The Energy Dome version would be the most popular but they dress in different attire each album. They could do a Boogie Boy one too for those of you that know how he’s related to Devo.

Postby **YeetGrimes** » Fri Jan 17, 2020 8:58 am

Gosh, I'd really love to have a Cyndi Lauper Pop! in my collection, too.

The colors would be wild if they used her pink hair and the outfit she wore in “girls just wanna have fun”

Postby **Guyhoff** » Fri Jan 17, 2020 11:53 am

What will it take to get a Garth Brooks Funko POP? I am shocked he doesn’t have one yet. He is one of the top selling artists of all time.

Postby **rexflexall** » Fri Jan 17, 2020 12:12 pm

A Hall & Oates 2 pack!

Her style is beautiful. A true 80s icon.

All the 80s big hair bands would be great too!

Didn’t they write a song for the power puff movie? Also wasn’t the monkey Mojo Jojo dressed like them?

I love this thread! The deigns of these pops would be so groovy and radical lol

Cydni Lauper would be my favorite. These all would be cool because my mom loves all the POP Rocks they have released and has a cool story for each one and how she grew up with them

Mark Mothersbaugh the lead singer of Devo actually is the second biggest soundtrack writer for sure. Only second to Danny Elfman from Oingo Boingo. (Who should also have pops!!!)

Bon Jovi

DEVO!

That is all.

I'm glad they made Duran Duran pops, but too bad they didn't include the instruments they played.

That would be such an awesome pop. My mom also liked Loverboy, so a pop of Mike Reno in those red leather pops would be cool. Would get a one gift for mom off my list.

How about some New Kids on the Block?! I'd go crazy!

You people are driving me bonkers with your non New Wave music! The struggle is real.
