Aga,I always wonder if I would have more ideas for Funko's of famous people in history, popular culture and where-ever else may strike your fancy.

Here are my ideas.

Vandal Savage

The oldest villain in the DC Universe has yet to be made into a funko. The Miguel Ferrer version (see above) Phil Morris version (Justice League Doom) or even the Casper Crump from the Arrowverse would be excellent choices.

Sherlock Holmes (Johnny Lee Miller) version.

With the series Elementary having ended last year, why not have the CBS version of Sherlock Holmes be made into a funko? The Benedict Cumberbatch version has a funko. Adding Lucy Liu's Joan Watson would be a good idea too.

Carl Reiner

Recently this legend of comedy had passed away at the age of 98.

This great man deserves to have his own funko, because the staff from The Office have there own funko's, so other people from comedy should get such a tribute.

The Three Stooges

Speaking of comedy legends, these three knuckleheads will leave you in stitches.

The three kings of comedy have bobble-heads, but not funko's of them.

There are many variations of them to work with (like what you see above) along with being artists, salesman, mechanics, whatever they were from their shorts.

It could not just be these three alone, Shemp could be added along with Bud Jameson along with any others who were Three Stooges regulars (but not Curly Joe).

Rocky Marciano

Since we are doing famous people, why not add the only heavyweight champion of Boxing to ever be undefeated as an idea? Muhammad "The Greatest " Ali has a funko, so why not add another famous pugilist?

Jean-Claude Van Damme as Frank Dux from Bloodsport.

The movie that help make Jean-Claude Van Damme the iconic action hero in movies worldwide.

He has had no funko made of him whatsoever for any of his roles from any movies, so I would like it if they started with the most famous role of his career.

E. Honda

The sumo wrestler from Japan has not had a chance at being a funko, neither has his friend Hakan nor Sodom who respects Honda or many other friends that make up the Street Fighter universe (except for Ryu, there is a funk of him.)

Steve Reeves as Hercules

The legendary bodybuilder who became Mr. Universe in 1950, a well-known philanthropist and famous for his many roles in swords-and-sandals films (Hercules being one among many of them) has not been given a funko.

If they are going to do famous actors from cult films, might as well give it to one of the most famous actors to play then son of Zeus.

Dick Van Dyke

Speaking again of comedy legends, Mr Robert Petrie himself has never had a funko done of him, nor any of his other roles like Dr Mark Sloan, Caractacus Potts or Bert from the original Mary Poppins.

John Lewis

This Civil Rights activist recently died this past weekend at the age of 80.

Why not commemorate such a legendary figure and hero to the African-American community by making a Funko of him?

Kenshiro

The greatest martial artist in manga/anime ever has action figures and so do other members of the Hokuto No Ken universe, but no funko's of them have been made.

It certainly would make an explosive addition to the funko-verse.

Don "The Dragon" Wilson

I'm not worthy (bowing)

Star of many cult films, kickboxing legend and my inspiration to go into the martial arts, deserves to be noticed.

Since they have UFC fighters like Ronda Rousey and Connor McGregor as funkos, this legendary kick-boxer should not be excluded.

Shinichi "Sonny" Chiba as Takuma "Terry" Tsurugi

Again, I am not worthy (bowing)

The Bruce Lee of Japan has made a name for himself in the martial arts before playing the iconic karate assassins as seen above.

Funko's of him as Takuma "Terry" Tsurugi or even Etsuko "Sue" Shiomi as Lǐ Hóng-Lóng have not been made in funkos.

Donald Trump as Adolf Hitler

Saving the worst for last. This piece of human trash isn't worthy of even being a funko.

Sadly, there is a funko of him.

Therefore, if a funko of this blight on humanity can be made, why not make a funko of him depicted as the greatest monster in history?

If a funko of him as Hitler should be made, it could be where he is doing the Nazi salute or goose-stepping, while wearing an officer's hat complete with Nazi uniform.
