As you can see from the photo above, this is one of the many ideas for Funko's.

But despite the fact that Funko's are the most popular product, there are many ideas that have not been considered.

Here is a list of ideas that I have.

Wildcat

Former Heavyweight Champion of Boxing Ted Grant and member of the Justice Society of America. This Golden Age member of the JSA doesn't have a funko yet, so why not?

He also happens to be my favorite DC character next to Batman, Harley Quinn, Killer Croc, Bane, Deadshot, Deathstroke, Power Girl, Black Lighting, The Flash and Aquaman, but they have Funko's of them already.

Diego

There has been no Funko's so far of characters from the Dead or Alive video game series even though I am aware of how raunchy the series can get. But still, why not have them?

Diego from the recent installment of the series is a badass Street Fighter (who is trained in the same style) and as expected has the tough guy personality. He is one among many characters in the series I like.

Hitmonchan

Sawk

I am aware that there are Pokemon Funko's, but of the three fighting types seen here, there are none.

I may not be the Pokemon fan I used to be, but being a martial artist, I admire the fighting class of Pokemon very much.

If any one of these three ever came out as Funko's, I would so buy one of them (and that's if all three don't come out at the same time).

I would also like it if they were the other fighting Pokemon were made available.

Sgt. Rock

The tough-as-a-can-of-nails World War 2 hero Sergeant Franklin Rock has seen his fair share of action, but he has never been seen as a Funko

Lots of other DC Comic book characters have had there time as a Funko, so why not add Sgt. Rock and Easy Company?

Egyptian Mythology

So far mythological figures haven't been made into Funko's. So why not go with this idea?

I have the Egyptian gods here pictured because if I suggested the Nordic and Greek gods it would be an obvious start. Plus, Egyptian culture has a lot to it, including Pre-Socratic philosophy (of which I personally study).

Five Tiger Generals of Shu

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong are the famed Five Tiger Generals who served the Shu leader Liu Bei ever so loyally, so therefore they should have Funko's of them, along with their virtuous leader Liu Bei.

Now that I mention it, why not have the other famous people of the Three Kingdoms era such as Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, Sun Jian, and even Cao Cao?

Johann Sebastian Bach

The famous German composer and guy with same first name as yours truly has never had a Funko. He's got a bobble-head, but that's not really the same thing.

Richard Wagner

Mr. Ride of the Valkyries himself is another famous German composer that has yet to receive a Funko and has not yet even had a bobble-head.

Ludwig von Beethoven

This year marks the 250th anniversary of the birth of the man who wrote Moonlight Sonata. Yet, like other famous composers, he has not had a Funko of him done, just a bobble-head.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

The composer of The Magic Flute has just a bobble-head, but not a Funko.

Just for the record, the four composers I have listed here were my mom's idea.

Gladiators

The bloodiest athletes from the days of Imperial Rome have never been made into Funko's, just action figures of all kinds.

The people behind Funko could start with the Cestus Gladiator then they could do the rather intimidating Murmillo and then the heavily armored Gladiator Cataphractarius.

Who knows what else might come of the Roman times? They could add a Funko Colosseum, Emperors, Legionnaires, Barbarains, even the Spartacus series could make an appearance along with Ben-Hur.

Marie Ruumet

Marie Ruumet from Estonia, Muay Thai Fighter and member of Team Quest Thailand has no Funko, but other MMA Fighters like Connor McGregor and Rhonda Rousey have their own. Why shouldn't "The Valkyrie" have her own Funko?

Conclusion

I have Funko's of Doomfist, Reverse-Flash, Scarif Storm-trooper and Darth Vader from Rogue One (name your price and I will post them on eBay to sell.) I also have a Green Lantern and Batman combo set, but that is not for sale. I just wanted to show you all that I am willing to collect Funko's too.

Whether you love Funko's or not, they are not going away anytime soon. For the people behind Funko, the sky is not the limit with what can be done with this popular collection series.
