Funko Pop News – New Austin Powers, Fortnite and Pokemon Figures Coming Soon
Funko is definitely on a roll with a number of new licences coming our way including new Funko Pops for Austin Powers, Fortnite and even Pokemon!
Austin Powers International Man of Mystery Funko Pops
The first wave of Austin Powers pops will be based on the first movie starring Mike Myers as both Austin Powers and his nemesis Dr. Evil.
• Austin Powers Pop Figure #643
• Austin Powers Dr. Evil Pop Figure With Mr. Bigglesworth #644
• Austin Powers Vanessa Kensington Pop Figure #645
There will also be a GameStop exclusive with Austin wearing a red suit rather than his blue one. That’s going to be groovy baby. These figures will be available November 2018.

Ultimately our goal is to create a powerful merchandise strategy for the Fortnite brand, as well as bring these amazing collectibles to fans around the world
Pokemon
A redditor shared some rather interesting new wave of Pokemon pops coming out soon. Pikachu started it and it looks like the ball will continue rolling for this IP.
No word yet when they’ll actually produce this but its interesting that there’s something now really for everybody when it comes to collecting this line. Also brings a new spin to the classic term “Gotta Catch ’em All”
