Of all of the licences that Funko has the rights to, I can't quite fathom why they would choose Magic the Gathering, Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Book of Life, and now Evolve, to carry on the Legacy line. Game of Thrones was a great choice for the first series, but the rest seem like odd choices to me.

I guess Magic has a huge built-in fan base, and Mr. Fox kinda makes sense since Wes Anderson's films have a huge cult following, but it seems to me that these would have made sense later on, after the Legacy series had firmly established itself as a contender in the field of collectible figures.

Oh well, that's just me ranting because I'm eager to finally get some news on the Firefly Legacy figures . On the bright side, all these other Legacy figures have given Funko extra time and practice to make the Firefly Legacy figures absolutely amazing.

Kinda agree with ya. The monster from Evolve would've been enough. I think this Legacy line should be like the Movie Maniacs or cult Classics. Don't make a series of everything. Like the Rocketeer! I am more excited for that figure than any Funko figure this year. All I want is the Rocketeer. I don't expect them to make 5 other characters from the Rocketeer movie lol
In a way, it's cool that they're trying to be different with there 6" figure lines. I just don't see any series that's a real hit yet. As much as like Game of Thrones, they're slowly becoming peg warmers. With all the good 6" and 7" figure rights of popular characters are gobbled up, Funko has a long road ahead. I personally would like to see them make a Jaws Legacy line. Now they have the property. Quint, Brody, Hooper, and Jaws of course. That would be really cool. Something that hasn't been done, but it's a huge property. Long overdue for figures.
