I think people are overreacting to the term "Director Line" in the subject that should probably be edited when it's clearly part of the Movies line. Just like when Bryan Fuller was in the Television line, it doesn't mean there's going to be a ton of them.

James Cameron would raise the bar on director Pop. James Cameron doesnt do what James Cameron does FOR James Cameron. James Cameron does what James Cameron does beacause HE IS JAMES CAMERON!!!

Some have clearly drank all their Kool Aid today...lol

What's next CEO pops??? Ooohhh that Jeff Bezos pop is spot on! Did you see the sculpt on that Richard Branson pop?? They even got a Virgin logo on his lapel! They're called POP vinyls for some strange reason. I get that this is a Funko run board and I'm not saying anyone shouldn't appreciate this line, but sometimes I get the impression people are stretching it when they say they like certain lines...this is kinda nuts considering the dozens of other things they could be doing that people are actually asking for. Sorry...just don't see the appeal when there are plenty of other "Pop" related things to draw from. It's ok to say we don't like things too... ;)

But you know so many people are going to go nuts over it and pay whatever it takes to have it in their collection, even if they don't really want it.

Yeah, I don't really get where the naysayers are coming from. If you're a big pop-culture/movie nerd, then you probably follow directors and start becoming fans of their work.

Paul Feig is a weird choice, but I get it since GB is about to come out and I'd LOVE to see more. I'd like:

-Tatantino
-Robert Rodriguez
-Dan Harmon
-Luc Besson
-Del Toro
-JJ Abrams
-Kevin Smith
-Hitchcock
-Stanley Kubrick

I've never paid much attention to directors, even though I love watching movies.

I would however get a Hitchcock, to go along with the wife's mystery mini and to sit amongst my horror Pops. :D

As someone who got their degree in film I would totally flip over this line if it does end up getting made.

I would love to see a Guillermo Del Toro pop made (he's my favorite director). They already did Crimson Peak so I don't think it would be too hard to sell to people (I know at least I would buy him lol). He seems to love any type of art/collectable that people make about his films/himself.

I love all of the suggestions do far, though. I think a line of more 'classic' directors might sell better, though, as more people might know who they are and know their films better! lol However, I know there are a lot of modern directors that people love, too. There's so many possibilities.

Off the top of my head I want Spielberg, Hitchcock,Tarantino, Kubrick, Wes Anderson, Edgar Wright, J.J. Abrams and George Lucas.


Just no Michael Bay please. lol

I came up with this list earlier: Spielberg, Lucas, Apatow, Tarantino, Kevin Smith, Hitchcock(already has a Mini.), Scorsese, Peter Jackson, Burton, Sergio Leone, J.J., Whedon, George A. Romero, Mel Brooks.

I think all these directors have a distinct look and could make for nice POP!s. I wouldn't personally buy them all, but I could see why they were made.

They probably sold out within the minute they were listed on the funko shop site, well before the email went out. 200 is a ridiculously low production run

I was just the Late Late Show and Paul Feig is on and he said he was a funko collector. Might explain why they approached him to make the figure.

I agree with most of the posts above about a strange choice for a line to start with and then a little confused by their selection. I’d buy a Hitchcock to go with my “The Birds” Barbie though.
