When Baum introduced them in the first book, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, he called them Winged Monkeys as did MGM for the 1939 film. I don't think anyone has really researched when Flying Monkey became synonymous with Winged Monkey but both terms now carry equal weight.

I'd love for Funko to add the mini POP!s as Munchkins so they'd be size proportionate and downright adorable.
And then make Disney's Return to Oz! Jack Pumpkinhead begs to be Funko'd.

I am a HUGE Wizard of Oz fan. I have probably watched it over a 100 times in my life. Can not wait for this movie...but I am afraid that my expectations are soooooooo high I may be disappointed. I hope not!

I agree! I need a Scarecrow, Tinman, Cowardly Lion, Glina, Lollipop Guild Munchkin, and Lullabye League Munchkin. I would flip over a SDCC Metallic Tinman and Flocked Lion!! [-o<
