I would Love To have my Nintendo Mii as a Funko Pop
Never Say Never.
The hard part is that Nintendo has to be the one to approach you in order to collaborate.
@Wowpowowthe only exception is pokemon. Sure, the pokemon company is in charge, it was set up by Nintendo to manage the pokemon franchise the moment the late president iwata first began working at nintendo before being promoted president.
Hey it's the four souls guy!
Not exactly. The Mario + Rabbids crossover happened because Ubisoft went to Nintendo first. In fact, Ubisoft essentially "kidnappped" Miyamoto in a midst of a gaming convention, something that took brass spheres and could have gone so wrong in any other context. The issue is whoever collabs with Nintendo has to give the company a very compelling reason or unique possibility/"what-if" to do so.
Fun fact, Nintendo do own Pokemon, along with Creatures and main owner, Game Freak
Yeah I should’ve been more clear with that! They own a good amount, I believe around 30%, but they don’t own it fully is what I was going for!
I found it really interesting that they don't like Funko from a design aspect though. Great video
33%@@RyeThePopGuy
@@MrBakersPopsInteresting how? From my understanding its not a hot take to say that funko pops generally look bad (to which i agree)
I'm pretty sure Kirby is a similar fashion to Pokemon in the sense that the franchise is only co-owned by Nintendo. (Not saying that it's likely to have Kirby themed funko pops but the chance isn't impossible)
Nintendo wants to make and sell their own amiibos, and doesn't want any other company to compete with that. That's all there's to it.
Good point but there's so many Nintendo figures that have been released by toy companies that would directly compete with their amiibos (lego, nendoroids, hasbro figures, etc.) So if that was the case they would stop working with those companies to boost their amiibos
The fact they work with PEZ but not with Funko
It makes sense, as with the Pez dispensers, they're able to keep their likeness.
I always thought it be fair that Nintendo will let Funko use the variants of the Mario characters from Illumination’s Super Mario Bros. Movie but Nintendo still owns the merchandising rights with Jakks Pacific.
Who knows, they might. At one point they said that they’d never make a mobile game, and yet they have so many.
I don't know if "many" is how I'd characterize it. Currently there's Dragalia Lost, Animal Crossing Pocket Camp, Fire Emblem Heroes, Mario Kart Tour, Pikmin Bloom and Super Mario Run, if I'm remembering them all. I left out Pokemon Go since The Pokemon Company is only partly owned by Nintendo.
Of course, there's also the now defunct mobile games, Miitomo and the Dr. Mario one. That's all of them, if I remember correctly.
2:07 fellow lego fan here:
Originally Nintendo wanted a typicall lego wave with minifigures (kinda like the Lego Minecraft and Lego Sonic) but Lego proposed the system of the interactive mario electronic figure and Nintendo seemed to like the idea so much that they let lego do it, as for other nintendo licenses there is Animal Crossing which uses the typical minifigure body with a specialized molded head made to represent the characters of the games so i doubt accuracy is a concern over lego, if they feel the need to make a specialized head to fit the design of a character, they'll do it.
Maybe for funko It can mean a problem because they rarely modify their basis for a figure but i may be wrong since i don't collect funko
No its the opposite Nintendo was the one that wanted the electronic character
@@papingosstudios161 I believe Lego was the one who pushed for the electronic Mario figure, esepcially since the late 2010's and 2021 where lego started experimenting with IPs such as Hidden side, vídyo, etc. Lego Mario was one of those lego experiments.
@@MickeyMouse-lw9hg it was Nintendo they straight up said
@@papingosstudios161 i remember that lego was the one who said It
Cant wait for em to drop next week
It would be so cute to be a Kirby funko pop🥲
You want a ⬜️ kirby?
@@SailorChristianyee
7:13 that's supposed to be Metal Mario.
Nintendo just cares a lot about quality over quantity.
And Looking at funko’s track record…
they aren’t the best at consistent quality when it comes to handling big franchises.
The reason they made Lego Mario is because Lego is known for its high quality toys. Not low quality funko pops.
That’s like comparing a chocolate cake with sprinkles and icing to a brick. It’s not even close.
Pikmin funkos would be sick
I know it's not much, but you've earnt my sub!
Nice video!
I would love Mario Funko Pops. Funko is like the only big toy company Nintendo hasn’t partnered up with.
Agree
Maybe They'll only do mini mario toys...for mario vs donkey kong
@@YaPalSpeedyWould be cool.
You said it yourself there: "the only big toy company Nintendo"
They don't need to do anything with them. Funkos aren't interesting and most of them are ugly. Besides Nintendo has amiibos.
@@SailorChristianthen they should stop making Nintendo figures if they have Amiibo
Actually, it was Lego's idea to make the Mario legos the way they were. They pitched the idea to Nintendo to make the figures electronic based to make it feel more like you're playing a game.
I don’t like the look of Funko Pops… But I think if Nintendo ever did a collab with them they should do a Mini Mario figure from Mario vs Donkey Kong, it’s similar enough in design better for them and has that Nintendo flair to make their figures stand out
whats the song name
Cool my bro
Awesome CZcams video today on your CZcams channel today.
The Kirby pops are 🔥
Mario youtooz sound cool!
Sooo when’s the wario funko pop dropping
Good for nintendo for not doing that shit
Right? They’ll rather be the ones to release overpriced shit
I want Funko Pops of Luigi (I also want more Shadow Funko Pops)
Splatoon Funko Pops could be awesome to see too
Pikmin, Master and Crazy Hand, maybe even Tabuu
Luigi's Mansion based once is also something that would be awesome, like seeing E.Gadd, King Boo, a Boo in general and etc...
even Funko Pops based on the Mario and Luigi or even Paper Mario villains would be cool
like Princess Shroob, Mimi, Dimentio, Antasma, Bowletta (or just Cackletta in general)
Ludwig, Wendy and the rest of the Koopalings and even The Broodals and Cappy from Odyssey
Crash even has his Crash Team Racing Funko Pops, so Mario and even Sonic should also have their kart racers as Funkos
plus: more Pikachu Funkos, like Pikachu wearing each of the hats Ash has in the anime, I mean you can get those for the games (or could, but probably will again later) or even Captain Pikachu or Detective Pikachu's hat from the new anime and the game
Kirby would just fit in 😂
The pops versions seem scary. I agree with nintendo on this one. The black scary eyes
I know,!!!! paper Mario has the same eyes (cries in fear)
Nice video! I really want mario Funko. So many cool charachters
And this is why I asked youtooz to make splatoon figures
I really want little nightmares funko pops so bad
I would love to see super smash bros: link as a funko pop I would buy
i want undertale and deltarune pops so bad.
I want all kinds of gaming characters as funko pops that includes Nintendo the more merch the better! ❤
kirby would look so good as a funk pop
Mario youtooz would be perfect though
If they do ever make Nintendo Funko Pops. Then I’m pretty sure they would look very different from normal Funko Pops.
I think its more likely that Nintendo doesn't like the quality of product Funko provides. If you've seen how Funko has handled fnaf you'd get why Nintendo might not want to work with them.
One word: amiibos
After watching this video, I saw a video show he at a funko pop of peach 9 days before this vid
Didn't they do a Megaman pop? I know he is technically Capcom but Didn't it start on Nintendo? So I guess rhis would be like Street Fighter along with Pokemon
Megaman has always been owned by Capcom, regardless of what platform their games are on.
Cool
I don't think Nintendo's interested in letting Funko make pop figures of the characters they made, like Mario, Zelda, Metroid or things like that.
Sonic got his own but not mario?
They wont make funko mainly because of amiibo
if there was i hope there would be
mario
yoshi
link
kirby
if you want a link funko pop get a peter pan
i wish mario funko pops were real
Nintendo: you can’t tell who these are
The entire funko fanbase: ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?
(seriously, that Kirby looks the exact same)
Theo did super Mario Movie ones
Kirby is owned by Hal Labs so that could still be a possibility
The kirby pop would look funny
Day 98. I bet the earth that you don't have funko pop 1018. Please only two more days... mabye your waiting for day 100?
I didn't know there were pvz funko pops
Isn't Kirby already a funko pop?
Those were custom-made
What about Thomas and Friends Funko Pops?
Nintendo called them funko poop
I’m the pop guy!!!
You think your the pop guy I’m the pop guy
Calm down boys,we all know who is the real pop guy here.
*N U H U H*
I’m the real pop guy, come on.
ⓃⓄ ⓂⒺ
good
super squares ( super brains)
What is your favorite Funko soda that u have Rye?👇
Rick!
@@RyeThePopGuy Nice!
W, actually
Never say never. Sooner or later Nintendo will have to allow funko to do a few of their characters in funko forms.
See, that’s what I dislike about Nintendo. They can remake the same games, but can’t make a certain brand like pops of the characters.
Pls FUNKO work with Nintendo to make funko pops !
Nintendo already makes nendoroids and those are just funko pops but they stick to the actual design of the characters instead of bastardizing them into a gross plastic demon
I did mention this in the video!
more they gave GSC a licence to make the figures. same with Legend of Zelda. since i have a TP Link figma (posable figure but not chibi styled)
Funko pops take away the soul from a lot of the things they make.
Splatoon And Mareeoh (Mario).
15 years later they probs exist
Fantastic I'm glad there's no Mario because,
Not all Funko pop look good.
Pokémon funko
Those designs are good-
Don't worry maybe a long time in the future have nintendo funko pops😊😊😊😊😊
The Pokémon company is a subsidiary of Nintendo.
Yeah! They’re in charge of the licensing/publication of pokemon, which is why there’s pokemon funko pops as they’re more lenient with giving out the license. I should’ve been more specific in the video!
Doesn’t matter to me, I’ll be buying the sonic pops
Nintendo pops would sell out (quoting Warioware) like hotcakes
KIRBY
I do agree that Funko pops looks just ugly and weird to me. I would rather punches amiibo for a premium on the second hand market then a Funko Pop.
Technically they already have with pokemon
But as he said, Gamefreak and Creatures own a majority of Pokémon while Nintendo owns 33% of it
I love kirby
If they really don’t like the look of the Funkos, why not do just the Funko Sodas? Those look nothing like regular funko and can look as close as they can to the regular character and saying that they’d look nothing like the regular character isn’t really true, the art used in your thumbnail of the fanmade Mario funkos look really good. I think it’s just another case of big Nintendo being greedy with their characters or at least not playing ball like they have been with others like damn PEZ dispensers. Hell, Fortnite wanted Samus but Nintendo not only wanted it her exclusively on Switch but also wanted it where if you weren’t playing on Switch, you couldn’t see Samus. That was big greedy
part greed. part just Nintendo being super protective of their IP. also not the first time they did that. Soul Calibur 2 had Link as a Playable character, but only the Gamecube version had him.
and i think they one time also let a game company use their characters, but then they were also going to be included in that games playstation version, and Nintendo pulled the plug on that cameo.
so uh.. they are just very paranoid over their IPs. thank you Universal trying to due them over donkey kong.
Because they are correct.
I think Animal Crossing Funko Pops would look good
Sega does what Nintendon’t
no offense but Funko Pop are kinda low quality and I'm not a fan of the design cuz most of them have the same face and it can work for some like the Adventure Time ones I think those look cool and I guess for the price is not that bad tho I'm glad they made Nendoroids Ik they're more expensive but they're actually worth it (just my opinion)
I would buy mario pops
I’m not really knowledgeable in funko, but isn’t funko more of an American thing?
Nintendo isn't stupid.. they know what's trash.
Bruh pokemon is still own by nintendo dude same gose for Kirby
Pokemon
one word amibbo
"Nintendo doesn't like the way funko pop look"
Well it's true they are ugly and boring, some are kind of a exception like the Disney Pixar Luca Sea Monsters ones.
But generally most of them are freaking ugly.
It's way better to buy other companies ones like you mentioned the Nendroids.
And besides they have Amiibos which are better.
#LuigifunkoPop
as long as they make ugly figures i dont think Nintendo want to let them make them.
And Pokemon is made by game freao
Man Nintendo gotta be more open minded with their characters
There are Pokémon ones
I guess, It's copyright?
Square Enix dosen't work with Funko either.
Based Nintendo
