All right my neato nerd and nerdettes! =D

Everyone knows I’m a LOVER of FUNKO Pops! Guilty! Charge me! Moving on! 😉 I have over 300 now, but I really enjoy collecting them and their kawaii ascetic, how they have gotten more details over the years.  STILL! Some series have NOT been represented well! And it is a darn shame! Well, FUNKO; here is my WISH LIST of FUNKO Pops I need! <3

Which characters do you want added to your geeky collection?  Let me know in the comments! 🙂

Top 12 Characters/Franchises I NEED FUNKO Pops For:

• Bolin from “The Legend of Korra:” (I have PREACHED this one on my Unboxing Playlist to kingdom come! There are FOUR members of the New Team Avatar crew introduced in ‘The Legend of Korra;’ Mako, Korra, Asami, and Bolin.  Mako, Korra, and Asami all have FUNKO Pops…but not Bolin.  MY BOY BOLIN HAS BEEN TREATED DIRTY! >.<  Makes me angry! Petition to get Bolin his FUNKO Pop! PLUS! He has a pet FIRE FURRET, PABU! A cute little mini critter figure to come with him! It’s perfection!)

• Mori from “Ouran High School Host Club,” (Same as with Bolin: There are SEVERN Host Club Members at Ouran Academy.  Mori-senpai is the ONLY one so far that does not have one.  HOWEVER, I am hopeful for this one because the twins finally got theirs in October after the originals came out a few years prior.  Let’s go, Mori-senpai!)

• PERCY JACKSON – (Rich Riordan is my FAVORITE author of ALL TIME! I especially LOVE all of Greek/Roman series, featuring our main water demigod, Percy Jackson!  And NOW, with a long-awaited series Disney Plus series coming out in 2024, I think versions of them may be possible.  BUT, if they could get the ORIGINAL, especially the seven Heroes of Olympus (AND GROVER, NICO, AND WILL,) that would be AMAZE-BALLS! Seeing the beloved Camp-Half Blood shirt in FUNKO Pop detail would be incredible!)

• Swan Princess (at least Odette and Derek-) (This is one of my most cherished movies and now that Anastasia has a FUNKO, I see no reason why Odette can’t have one!  AND, a mini figure of her in her swan form to go with it would be precious.  Odette would make a beautiful figure and her and Derek would be adorable as a pair.  The animal buddies, The Queen, Rodgers, and more would be gems.  And there are 11 sequels to the original so DO NOT tell me no one recalls this franchise! LOL!)

• Rest of “Anastasia” Characters: (I WANT THEM ALL! Dimitri, Vlad, Grandmother, Sophie, Rasptuin, Bartock, and different versions of Anastasia (the orphan version has to have Puuka!) Bring them all on!)

•  Season 3 Fire Nation Outfits of Team Avatar from  AND Melon Lord“Avatar The Last Airbender” (There are some FANTASTIC “Avatar: The Last Airbender” FUNKOs and I have many of them.  I just love the gang’s season 3 fire nation attire and Melon Lord is such a legendary one-episode character! These versions would heat up this amazing series further!)

• LORE OLYMPUS- (This is one of my FAVORITE medias EVER! I am ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED!  And I have seen so many beautiful custom-made FUNKO Pops of these characters (I even own myself.)  The characters have long lives and so many tasteful styles that the possibilities are endless and would be stunning! It IS the number #1 webtoon for a reason… Good marketing chance and to make fans happy.)

• The rest of the 9 zodiac members AND Arisa and Hana from “Fruits Basket” (Crunchyroll was smart to release the four main characters as FUNKO Pops when this precious manga became a new anime in 2019, resurging this wonderful story and beloved characters.  There are 14 Soma zodiac members and other very important characters, like Hana and Uo-chan.  So, at least 13 other Funko opportunities that TONS of fans would love!)

• The rest of the original 151 Pokemon lines they haven’t done yet- (I was surprised FUNKO started releasing Pokemon since there are SO MANY! But, I did like that they were starting with the original 151.  I agree and think they should continue that mindset, at least one FUNKO for each evolution.  They also added a few popular Pokemon from other series.  Again, I am fine with that AND maybe the iconic legendaries.  BUT, what I REALLY WANT NOW that Ash is officially leaving the picture (cries) is to make FUNKO Pops of ASH, MISTY, BROCK, JESSE, AND JAMES! Immortalize these iconic characters that have given generations joy for over 20 years!)

• STUDIO GHIBLI- (Studio Ghibli films are moving, heart-touching pieces of art.  All the characters are staples in anime culture.  So, endless great choices!  There could be plenty of cool designs.  I am not sure Studio Ghibli would WANT to market with FUNKO since they have an impressive line of products, but it would be epic.)

• Vampire Academy (Other than ‘Twilight,’ which is ties, this is my favorite vampire book series! And NOW that is is a T.V. series on Peacock (it had a movie too,) FUNKOs of these beyond-cool characters would look great on my collection.  I like the book character designs better (not just saying that as a purist; being honest.))

• House of Night- (This rich universe has 12 main books, four in a spin-off sequel series, four novellas, a graphic novel, and more, all expanding the world of night.  So, with that being said, lots of characters. What appeals to me so deeply with them is the vampires in this series all have unique tattoos based on their powers and personalities/talents gifted by their loving goddess. How lovely would that be to see on these collectibles?)
