Funko could go out and produce the rest of the FF in pop form, same with the Spiderman baddies. It just isn't the priority at the moment, I guess. Marvel also doesn't want to really give any attention to properties they don't have control over (which is why we're just NOW getting a large group of X-men pops, as well as only The Thing from FF).


I think you could even argue that Marvel will not license anymore Fantastic Four to Funko. They've effectively pulled everything Fantastic Four from store shelves. Additionally, you'll continue to see X-Men Pops, but probably only comic representations. Marvel is not playing nice with Fox...


That wouldn't surprise me at all, and would actually be a really good explanation as to why The Thing and Dr. Doom were retired rather randomly.

With that said, it might also be a good time to pick up Silver Surfer if you haven't yet, as I think Fox has some kind of ownership over his character too (which means he's probably gonna be retired in the near future).
