I think the biggest issue is that it takes a long time for them to create the Pops. It stinks that they show up way after the season has already aired but not sure there is a whole lot they can do with that.
Sometimes I think it’s Funko trying to make sure their is enough interest and other times I think it may be the licensors being slow to release the license to make merchandise for certain movies, tv shows and films. I think a lot of the bigger animes have licensing deals in place to allow certain companies to have the first stab at releasing figures from the current seasons.
Yeah and some licenses seem really good about letting them get concepts early so that it comes out closer to release date, while others seem like the concept only develops after it airs. The whole thing is fascinating to me though. I would love to see the behind the scenes process to know why certain items drop when they do.
Yeah I thought when they did the making fun documentary they were going to go in depth as far as the licensing process but they didn’t really touch that aspect. Would be fascinating to be able to get that deep rooted perspective of how things work during the procurement phase for licenses
