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.
Yeah, MTG has a big following, biggest in the business. As a player I was super excited for the line, and I really like the three I found worth picking up, but it was a brave decision for Funko to choose them. Maybe the MTG pop vinyls were selling so well that it encouraged the move, I don't follow the pop vinyl stuff. Whenever I'm in my lcs and someone's buying cards, they are not even remotely checking out any of the figures or statues so I am not surprised when I hear how many people buy the figures just to use them as generic fantasy fillers but don't know anything about the game. Hardcore Magic players, which I am not, dump a lot of cash on building better and up-to-date decks so it seems to me like they'd rather spend $25 on more actual cards than on a figure based on one of them. The Magic figures appear to sell a lot better at my TRU than the GoT line does, and that's interesting.

I will agree in hoping that Funko continues to improve their stuff. Comparing the Magic and GoT series 2 to GoT series 1 shows they're making progress.
