London Toy Fair has all kinds of great reveals. In terms of the Funko department, there is concept art for the newest previously revealed by Funko-Funko POPs oncoming this year.
For instance we have Parks and Rec Funko Pops! We have 90's nostalgia! (For 90's kids like yours truly) and Tekken Pops! And much more! I'll try to update the pics as I find it. Not sure if anyone discusses Funko here but I could see the interest for it !

I love all the Parks and Rec Funkos! I need to get all of them so I can do a Funko Reunion with all of them! EVERYONE LOOKS SO PERFECT. And omg YES I LOVED DOUG!!

They GOT SPACE JAM! WELCOME TO THE SPACE JAM! Michael Jordan, Bill Murray. One of my childhood movies. Wow.

Bring on Doug, as well as Arnold, Rocko, and the Angry Beavers.

I love that Space Jam Bugs too.

Here is everything they revealed. Wasn't going to post these as we stopped covering Pops & such, but with over 200 individual figures/items, it's hard to ignore.

Funko London Toy Fair 2017 Reveals - Over 200 New Figures - The Toyark - News

I hate blind bagged/boxed stuff with a passion. But damn if I'm not going to buy every effing one of these.

[ukmu]

I am liking those videogame minis!!!

If we're talking 90's, I'll vote for Disney's Recess

Thank you so much! So many goodies

[Brownfinger]

Ho-lee crepes, I need those MST3K ones. Little Crow is adorable. New Mass Effect, yup, that's happening. Ooo, I want the Dig Dug minis.
Oh! And McCree!

Okay, I'm in trouble here.
Why did Funko give up on the Legacy stuff? With all of the licenses they have, they could pump out an endless parade of figures from popular media that we would otherwise not have. The quality started off a little strange, but the joints and sculpt work were showing serious improvement near the end.

[Hobgoblin238]

Please stop calling what Funko does as figures. the only figures I see are the Twin Peaks. The rest is crap

[Marvelfangirl]

Ouch dude. They are toys or what you call figures.

[EvilMonkeyPope]

Get back to me when they finish the Firefly & GOT Legacy lines.

Eh, as much as I hate Pops and the like, I have to somewhat agree with Marvelfangirl on a simple logic level. Figure is simply a shortening of the word, "Figurine," and since we can call a statue of any kind a "figurine," Toyark is not in the wrong in referring to Pops as figures, as whilst they aren't ACTION figures, they are FIGURES.


Still, a happy medium would probably be to separate the two with saying "action" or "Pop" before "figure(s)" in the article titles, but that's just me.

[MUfan97]

I see possible reuse fodder on those Twin Peaks figures.


Also, am I the only one seeing extra swivels in that one woman's elbows? Like, just a simple rotation?

[Panthro1978]

Could be very tempted by the Lexa 100 Pop Vinyl, even though I really hate Pop Vinyls.

They made a series of bad choices with that line which seems to have mostly killed it, but it technically does still exist since they just released those two League of Legends figures. Just because they have the license for a lot of things though doesn't mean they can do a sculpted figure with likeness. Funko gets off very easy since none of their pops bear any likeness to their respective performers what-so-ever so they don't have to pay for any likeness rights. For the most part then they just can't make actual figures based on those characters sourced from live-action performances. Regarding licenses not involving likeness rights (games and animated characters) it probably comes down to either Funko or the license holder. If it's Funko deciding to not do figures then it's a thing of costs and ease, it costs more and is harder to make a more detailed figure than a pop and maybe they fear the detailed figure wouldn't sell to cover costs. If it's the license holder's decision then it could be that they don't want Funko to make detailed figures for whatever reason, perhaps because they are already in a deal with another company.

Funko announced Munsters in a list of properties while talking about Reaction. They were then asked about Aadams Family and the response was they could not get all of the licenses they wanted. A year later they are talking about Aadams Family and ignoring Munsters, including questions about Munsters. I don't think this was a licensing issue.

I really wanted a Lily for a Bride of Dracula for my Universal Monsters. A really well done Morticia MIGHT work, but we will probably never see either of them.

The problem is that Funko is no longer producing ReAction figures. They're doing their own 9 points of articulation figures these days. The ReAction name is now exclusive to Super 7.

Who will probably never do those figures.

I'm a bit disappointed that they still haven't shown the Rick and Morty minis. Hopefully they are waiting for season 3 to premiere and haven't scrapped them completely.

[Brownfinger]

Oh, hello there, Mass Effect: Andromeda.

Interesting.
That's really all I was saying, that I wished to see the line thrive. (the video game properties moreso) I don't play League of Legends, but hopefully it bodes well for continuity of the line.
