Just random ideas here, some I'd buy, some I think others would.

The Three Stooges- Technically 6 total, but would love at least Moe, Larry and Curly, but wouldn't object to Shemp, Curly Joe and Joe Besser
Abbott and Costello
Laurel and Hardy
Now that we have Sinatra, would be great to get Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr
Benny Hill
Bach
Beethoven
Mozart
B.B. King
Ray Charles
The Monkees
Chuck Berry

Many many more really, I'm kind of all over the place, ha.

Would really love The Three Stooges over all the others though....maybe someday.


I can't believe I never thought about the three stooges. Def a 3 pack and would be amazing and a must have. Come on Funko make it happen lol

Yes both him and Daphne. And maybe some extra of his deaths. I remember dying so often.

I’m surprised we haven’t gotten the three stooges as pop. I would’ve thought they’d been available by now. And I like the idea you make of more classical composers for the music pops. It’d be adorable

I have a friend who's REALLY in the Three Stooges world, he's met a ton of those that are still alive, kids of theirs, grand kids, other huge fans, he has even contributed to Stooges comic books with stories from people who's met. He's also put the thought into the heads of those he knows for Funko pops, but thus far nothing has come of it. I "think" the main problem is, now that they are long gone and different family members and other people own their rights, it's difficult to get them all onboard at the same time to make the pops. Maybe someday I hope, before Funko dies to the point that no one wants to touch it anymore. As someone who used to watch a lot of the show with my dad who died in 2001, I'd really love to have at least the three main guys on my shelf, although all 6 would be best.

It’d be really kind of you if you were able to get him three stooges pops and maybe get it signed by one of their family members. I know it’s not the same but it’s the thought that counts.

That's a pretty awesome stooges resume for a fan of theirs. Hopefully they do it, would complete the fan story perfectly

The three stooges continue to inspire and remain a staple in a lot of people’s lives so I’m really shocked we never got a 3pk pop set of them. Does anyone think it might be a licensing issue?

I think that might be the problem. Since they are different family members who own the rights, apparently some of them are older and don't really care about the marketing or getting more money, so they aren't interested in Funko. I don't know if current items are still made, but I've seen shirts and comic books and other items that are new, so maybe somehow, some way, the powers that be can get the people who own the rights on board someday!

I would get MASH, Bob Hope, George Burns, Carol Burnett and friends for sure, and probably some of the others. I know we do have Betty White as Rose from Golden Girls at least.
