Fundays 2026 Freddy Predictions and One Personal Hope

[TomThoughts]

Franny in K-pop Demon Hunters? Freddy as Saja Boys?

This just seems destined to happen.

[TomThoughts]

Freddy as Optimus and Freddy as Maul are my two favorites.

The blacklight optimus is the best blacklight freddy ever.

That is my grail. After that Fundays, I tried to trade for a blacklight Freddy as Optimus but no luck. I did get the metallic Freddy as Optimus which is pretty sweet but I've always had my eye on that blacklight version.

I dunno--you did well with the metallic. Having seen both in person, I'd say the metallic is the winner. Still, to each his own.

Metallic Optimus is a great pop as well.
But agreed, blacklight optimus is a nice grail to obtain. Good luck on your search.

Still waiting for the long awaited nintendo collab. Freddy has Mario would be an instant grail.

It would absolutely be an instant grail. For years, I've heard about how Nintendo is so stingy with their license of anything Mario, but I can walk into a Dollar Tree and find the crappiest pvc figurines, wash cloths, and toothbrushes with Mario all over them.

[Brutesquad]

I've been pretty lucky over the years with Freddy's but my ultimate would be the Freddy Cereal Monsters. Once day I will own a set!

Freddy Anakin

He’s on my list to hunt.

[sealordbrian]

I don't know if I can say "best" but my all-time favorite was the Freddy Funko as Spider-Man. Loved it when it came out, love it today.

[FuegoGlorious]

This is very difficult. The metallic Freddy stark, blue haired clone trooper, and jack skellington are probably my top 3.

Although Freddy Maul is up there for me too.

The blue haired clone is still in my pc

[SweetNSpicy]

I really like the Freddy white lantern

I am incredibly jealous.

Yessss I would love that! Maybe Proto as Derby too??

These are incredible ideas

I mean at least start with Mario Galaxy pops from the movie, it shouldn't be that hard to have merch from the film.

You'd think so, but they didn't get the license for the last Mario movie. I am pretty sure it's not for lack of trying. This is likely a Nintendo thing.

[bbauwe01]

I believe Nintendo does not license their characters. Hopefully that changes in the future

[BobaJames]

I have had the honor of creating this thread the last 2(3?) years. It's never too early to fire up the expectations and hopes. I won't post the hit rate for this year because it was terrible for me. But we did hit on the JOE and wrestler and Marvel. I would have started the post on the obligatory night of Fundays or the morning after. But I was "busy" with some stuff. If you know then you know. So let's have some predictions. And then one personal hope ? Sound fun ? If it doesn't what can I say .

Let's start it up.
1) Marvel
2) JOE
3) Star Wars
4) DC
5) MOTU

One personal hope. GI JOE Freddy Serpentor.

I'd be very surprised if there's no drop of MOTU pops

That's weird because they have what I believe is an amazing partnership based on their Pokémon pops.

[TomThoughts]

That’s the thing. Nintendo doesn’t have full ownership. Creatures Inc. (if I’m correct) has licensing rights.

[Hopesdenial]

Franny as Gladys from Weapons.... Freddy as Sentry from Thunderbolts and a Void variant

[zonkttc]

All I can predict is that whatever happens it’s gonna be a line and it’s gonna be fun.

[BobaJames]

Expecting Marvel and starwars definitely. But I'm also hoping for an ip that Noone is expecting

Marvel and Star Wars are my main hopes as well along with power rangers and transformers.

OMG! Franny as Gladys would be incredible! Never thought of that, but it’s an awesome idea!

Didn't think of power rangers. Would like those to be numbered or limited

That might be the grail of fundays for Franny if they do it.
But do we want Gladys with makeup, or old wrinkly robe gladys. I guess both huh.?

[Justsonice25]

Whatever happens, Nintendo pops is what Funko needs, whether it's SDCC exclusives, Commons or Fundays Freddy as Mario and Franny as Peach.

In event and at home variants

A chase Freddy? Are you trying to give us all a heart attack? Also... a Void chase variant would be insane! I'd have to get it signed by the man himself, Paul Jenkins. He started the ride that was the Sentry in the mid-2000's and I'd need his signature.

Lol I guess you're right... I was trying to think of examples where there are variations from event vs at home and usually the count is lower like the Penguin Freddy Funko from Funtastic Voyage.... so dang.... I take it back... no sentry/void

Wasn't there a fun on the run Freddy as batman with a Freddy as Robin chase?

Yea, it wouldn't be a chase, but just a variant.
Like, Freddy as John Cena, and Freddy as "invisible" John Cena.

[Justsonice25]

Yes, please give us Franny as Ahsoka.

Yea but Fun on the Run wasn't really a Fundays thing; it was sort of like a lead up to SDCC. Technically there are chases (First that comes to mine is the 1/96 Freddy Stark and 1/12 Freddy Stark) but they were never labeled as chases.
