Funko Pop Chess Board Idea

Postby **CaliCollectibles** » Sat Jun 15, 2019 11:40 pm

Saw an advertisement for a custom Chess board and pieces and thought... why not Funko? Pop keychain or pop pen scale chess pieces with an awesome licensed chess board. $\:D/$

First theme comes to mind is TMNT with Splinter King, April Queen, Turtles, Casey, etc. On the other side Shredder King, Karai Queen, Rocksteady, Beebop, Foot Soldiers, etc. I can see alot of series than can work, especially those with lots of characters.

Would you buy a Funko Chess Board and what theme would you like to see?

Funko did acquire a board game company earlier this year. So I've been expecting something like a Monopoly or Chess game from Funko.

I think a Funko chess board would be a really fun idea!

Pocket Pops are an easy DIY version.

It'll be interesting to see what kinda board game they come up with

Take prime characters from multiples lines and combine for chess or monopoly. Monopoly would give more opportunity for ideas I think but excited for what’s to come!

Oooo. I can totally see Game of Thrones. Dark and medieval style.. dragon pieces maybe?!

I would love to see how the funko team would draw up a chess piece theme from Clash Royale. You already have a King and Knights to start off with. Maybe Skeletons as pawns, Giants as rooks etc

Postby **RobinBear177** » Sun Jun 16, 2019 1:16 am

A Funko chess set would be awesome

Postby **nascar246788** » Sun Jun 16, 2019 1:48 am

I would consider a funko chess board set. I would love to see Disney tehemed and freddy themed. I think Freddy themed chess board set would be so awesome.

A Freddy themed chess board would be AWESOME! I'm a little biased because love anything Freddy Funko related, so you can count me in if this becomes a reality.

Postby **methodsmadness** » Sun Jun 16, 2019 12:08 pm

Love this idea!
I would definitely buy an Avengers, Star Wars, or Disney themed set!

Or even the idea of mixing characters is fun :bounce:

Postby **CaseyJones14** » Sun Jun 16, 2019 12:19 pm

Man that TMNT idea is amazing! Funko better make that or ill be mad lol

I am really interested to see what board games they come out with. I’m kind of surprised we haven’t seen any news yet.

Postby **A-Okay** » Sun Jun 16, 2019 12:44 pm

This is a really great idea. Would totally buy one

I am the same way I love anything freddy funko related for sure!!

Great idea! Horror-themed one would be fantastic!

Postby **mongoose12** » Sun Jun 16, 2019 9:45 pm

I was a pretty decent chess player back in the day. I'd be game for this! Definitely a cool mashup.

Not a bad idea, maybe down the road if their board game does well.

Postby **StarWarsFunkoGirl** » Mon Jun 17, 2019 9:24 am

Star Wars chess Set: Jedi vs Sith, Rebel vs Empire

With them acquiring that board game company, I'm sure they'll give us some fun products

I'd love a chess set! I'd prefer a Freddy themed set.

this would be awesome! i was also thinking about a DC heroes vs villains setup

Postby **TheStephil** » Tue Jun 18, 2019 6:30 pm

I am hoping for Funko themed board games. Chess would be great. I'm hoping monopoly, clue and some original games in the near future.

Postby **jjb11590** » Tue Jun 18, 2019 7:31 pm

Since many of us are still waiting for MHA Villain Pops, I think a super cool idea would an MHA themed chess set Heroes v Villains! This way, some of us can get out fix on MHA Villains...

I'd love to see any of those boards games with a Funko twist!

Postby **o2thedbld5** » Sat Jun 22, 2019 3:14 am

Chess would be cool even if you'd combine fandoms like Game of Thrones vs. Lord of The Rings; a mashup of sorts.

Postby **nightbodega** » Sun Jun 30, 2019 5:53 pm

this would be good. haven't played in a while though.

Postby **TJLAUTERBACH** » Sun Jun 30, 2019 6:10 pm

I haven't played in years but would be a great and fun way to teach my kids. I would like to see a chess board game. My team would have to be the Fantastik Plastik group.

Postby **digithor** » Sun Jun 30, 2019 6:20 pm

A Freddy chess board would be kind of neat for them to put out. As for a themed board, pretty much what you could do yourself with the minis or other smaller versions funko has put out.

Postby **FunkoLoco** » Wed Jul 31, 2019 2:32 pm

cool idea but i like how they ventured into creating original board games instead! i wonder if this will continue or if they will eventually release funko-fied versions of classic games.

You could easily use pint size heroes for this! It would be so much fun! Masters of the Universe. Make a Queen Marlena and King Randor!
