Star Wars Pop Question

Postby **jgordini** » Tue Oct 30, 2012 3:21 pm

Does anyone know if Funko plans to make a series 4? This is my only series that I plan to collect everyone (only need Shadow Trooper) and I have run out of display space. So I was curious if I needed to clear space for future series or if Funko was done at three.

(Side note: the other series I only collect who looks cool vs getting the full list)

Like there is not enough Star War out there, do we really need more

I hope so! I am hoping for Queen Amidala, Oola, the Emperor and Bib Fortuna in this series.

It would be cool to see Plo Koon, Kit Fisto and Ki-Adi-Mundi.

i am happy that disney bought lucasfilm

I'm all for more Star Wars pops, but I'd prefer if they stuck mostly to characters from the original trilogy. A few big name characters from the prequels, like Darth Maul are cool, but I'd hate to see the SW Pops go the route of Mighty Muggs and go too obscure and have them not sell.

he will basically be a consultant, but if Disney doesn't like something he suggests they can ignore it

I agree that if they do more series to include the better known people. I would like to see R2-D2, Emperor, Anakin, Queen Amidala, General Ackbard would be a cool exclusive, an Ewok, and I would enjoy a biker scout

Probably too tough with the age of the actors but would love for VII - IX to be the Thrawn trilogy.

meh... i'd want a little bit of everything. there's only so many OT characters you can make before they too become too obscure. the fact is, jar jar binks has more name recognition than bib fortuna. i think you have to weigh the 'popular character' versus the 'cool character design' and try to tap into both sides a little bit.

not a big sw fan, but as for their pops, im assuming, most the main if not all the main character were released already, i doubt they will do a series with second/third string characters....

You assume incorrectly.

Lando Calrissian
Bib Fortuna (You may not know his name but most people would recognize him immediately)
Queen Almadala
Jar Jar Binks
Young Anaken (if ANYONE had a perfect Pop! shaped head!!!)
Padame
Young Obi-Wan
Wicket the Ewok
R2-D2
Emperor Palpatine
Qui-Gon Jinn
Salacious Crumb
Admiral Ackbar

Then there's the creatures like the Wompa, the Rankor, the Bantha (Tell me that wouldn't be adorable!) maybe a TaunTaun (GITD guts chase!

)
