Wow! Just Wow.

I want them already

[jpaskoff]

Very excited for these!!! I hope they also do a set of PSH, there's so much that could be done with the license.

[CaseyJones14]

Huh interesting. I used to watch the show back in the day, but not sure I'd want Pops. Curious to see how these turn out though!

[GeekyFinds]

Glow Blue Eyes White Dragon

[jpaskoff]

Glow Blue Eyes White Dragon

I wonder if they'll even do any of the monsters, or just stick to the humans.

[SaintsRow2008]

They could do so much with these!

Duelist & Duel Monster two-packs, Trap/Spell card variants, Egyptian God three-packs...

This is gonna be so hard to keep up with, but I'm strongly looking forward to what Funko has in store for us!

[Sarcasticguy]

Hopefully this does better than the MTG stuff... Planeswalkers for daaaays.

[Tyr0ners]

Glow Blue Eyes White Dragon

My thoughts exactly .

I'm curious as to how these will turn out.

[SaintsRow2008]

Glow Blue Eyes White Dragon

I wonder if they'll even do any of the monsters, or just stick to the humans.

That'd be a very bad idea, on their part. The line would sell tremendously better if they also sold the monsters. I'm sure they'll make Yugi at the very least, but it'd be crazy of them to not do any of the monsters at all.

[leosalion]

This is amazing! I hope they do Yugi, Kaiba, Dark Magician, Blue Eyes White Dragon, and a flocked Kuriboh as wave 1

I personally didn't watch or collect the cards for the human characters...the monsters were the best part

[Buffalow32]

Will we get pop trading cards?

[Vin phx]

Will we get pop trading cards?

Would be cool to get a card with the pop

[Kaosu]

I hope we get Exodia or the Red Eyes black dragon.

Agreed! Besides, they state in the article that they're making both the characters and the monsters.

Funko will be launching a line of stylized vinyl collectible figures and other related products focusing on the fans’ favorite Yu-Gi-Oh! characters and monsters.

[Mr Yac]

never a fan of the show or the game, but I will freely admit it has some awesome monster designs.

[Zae05]

Used to watch the show and had the cards, but Idk about adding these to my collection.

A blue eyes white dragon will definitely look cool though.

[GeekyFinds]

I remember the Metallic Beerus came with a trading card when I got him from SDCC 2016, so it is a possibility at some point

[Kenjutsu763]

Where do you think they'll start? I really just want the full Gen1 with Yugi, Joey, Kaiba, and Bakura. Then 6" Gods! Mabe 6" Blue eyes and red Eyes

[Fawny]

Oh, my boys will want those! P is just getting into collecting Yu-Gi-Oh cards.

[RogueSolo]

Maybe a minis series with each character and "their" monster? Like the Princess and companion set

[daOCHO]

Very interested in this product, so much potential in this line. Can't wait to see this

[riceand1]

Should be a nice line, hopefully they make some nice chases. There is alot of potential with this line.

[Stareiskies]

I just think this is one step closer to Beyblade, Digimon, Pokemon, etc Funko items. And anything that is early 2000 and up Saturday Morning anime related is 1000% okay in my book.

Someone mentioned that it would suck if you had to collect the parts of Exodia

I can feel my pockets burning already for these, but I'll still be skeptical until I see some mock-ups, etc.

Imagine the Yugi with chase oh lord!

[alienfeast]

Are the POPS going to be from the show or the actual TCG? Either way I'm down.

[Sonic77]

I guess I'll have to take my cards out to match with the Pops .

[Picmahweji]

Yu gi oh and other anime themed fundays next year ?

[chaostryder]

Six inch blue eyes white dragon....OMG

Five exodia pieces exclusive to different retailers around the world

[Valde]

Heart of the Pops guide me! Most of the monsters form the show are really awesome, I wouldn't like to see Yugi or Seto as Pops though.

[Deathlinks]

More of my childhood being brought back! Thank you Brian! Hopefully we get a blue eyes white dragon 6 inch (and a maleficent dragon 6 inch *Cough* *Cough* )

[dolphinax2]

Used to watch the show and had the cards, but Idk about adding these to my collection.

A blue eyes white dragon will definitely look cool though.

Yes it would and I would definitely buy.

[Marvelous WD]

This calls for Rock Candy versions of Dark Magician Girl, Mai Valentine, Tea Gardner and Ishizu Isthtar

[SpongeTheSquid]

How exciting! I loved Yu-Gi-Oh! when I was younger.

I''m sure we'll see pops of the main cast like Yugi or Kaiba, but hopefully we'll see some of the monsters, too. I would buy a Dark Magician Girl, Winged Kuriboh and 6 inch Blue Eyes White Dragon.

[HarryPOPter]

Six inch blue eyes white dragon....OMG

Oh goodness, imagine that chase with the Exodia pieces. I don't even like Exodia enough to get that pop but if they did that, I'm pretty sure I would join that hunt just for the fun of the it

[HarryPOPter]

I guess I'll have to take my cards out to match with the Pops .

Love this idea!

[Joser777]

i was pretty excited that they got the license for yu-gi-oh cant wait for a dark magician or a jinzo

[professorratigan]

If they do a Bandit Keith Pop, I will die happy. Oh, man. REALLY want Keith, Pegasus and Marik at the VERY least! Super excited for these!

[professorratigan]

Maybe a minis series with each character and "their" monster? Like the Princess and companion set

That would be amazing!

Yugi & Dark Magician
Kaiba & Blue Eyes White Dragon
Joey & Red Eyes Black Dragon
Mai & Harpie's Pet Dragon
Pegasus & Thousand-Eyes Restrict
Bandit Keith & Barrel Dragon...

And those are just the Duelist Kingdom characters!

[Kuro-kun]

My childhood! I'm so excited for these!
I hope there's a (NOT chase) flocked Kuriboh.
