The Funko Pop figures have been a popular collectible item to many people for quite some years now, with the wide array of characters that the Funko Pops impersonate ranging from any kind of media and pop culture reference. Funkos can go from anything horror related, to even Disney related, and it goes far beyond just movies, also having video game characters in their figures. It was only a matter of time before the whole Funko Pop craze would make an attempt into the digital world.

Today, a new teaser trailer has been released, announcing an upcoming action-adventure video game featuring the iconic Funko figures from a variety of media franchises, with Funko Pop figurines featuring characters from movie franchises like Jurassic World, The Thing, Back to the Future, Shaun of the Dead and even Child's Play, all seen in events and stages from their corresponding movies.

Funko Fusion is an upcoming action-adventure game where players embody their favorite Funko Pop characters and the worlds they originate from. Explore the worlds and play as characters from Back to the Future, Jurassic World, The Thing, Child's Play 2, and more alone in single-player or in 4-player co-op. Battle enemies, explore vast environments, and solve intriguing puzzles in Funko Fusion from former TT Games developers. Funko Fusion is launching in 2024 for PC and consoles.

The game is currently being developed by a new studio based in the United Kingdom, named "10:10 Games", which was co-founded by one of the original founders and developer from Traveler's Tales and TT Games, Jon Burton, and the game is set to release on 2024 for consoles and PC.

Seems they really missed the boat on this one. Wonder if it was ignorance or arrogance. They'd have made a ton of $$ with this game/ad years ago

RIP 10:10 games

I watched the trailer to make fun of it and was instead cursed with the knowledge of how widespread these things are. Shaun of the Dead funko pops? Why? Is nothing safe?

I wonder who buys these ugly toys, then I see Youtubers with funko pops stacked behind them as if it looks pleasent to look at

proof that each gen is getting dumber by the minute

Your parents bought Beanie Babies, and their parents bought the Pet Rock.
People aren't getting dumber, people have always been dumb.

Haha, Jon Burton isn't getting better with this.

 

[yraverageamongoose]

go buy nendoroid instead.

i really wish i could tbh, they look so much better but come in at at least 3-4x the price higher than a standard funko pop in australia at least, although i dont really see the novelty of funkos at all, if you like the character i would rather buy a proper model of it or if i was really desperate find a bootleg/knockoff, anythings better than those lifeless figures

I guarantee the majority of people complaining will be pirating and playing this.

I actually have a slight bit of excitement for this game.

I just really love massive crossover games and remember the really neat dev tricks the gamehut did on old genesis and early Lego games.

I only own four of the forsaken things, but they are the only good looking kinds. Masked person, Cartoon Characters (KH Mickey and Pikachu) and bad designs, (an unholy FNaF funky pop dropped someone behind my closet, I have lost it and cannot trash it

I legit like this idea.

Seems like I will enjoy it with my SO like we enjoy the LEGO games... in fact, it's by the same people.

Edit: Weird. Before this thread I wasn't aware of this pack mentality that Funkos suck and etc. They are a toy like any other, and there are plenty that are worse.

It's one of the only, if not the only, brand in the world to serve as an umbrella for heavily adversarial products. It's a platform in which a Marvel vs. DC can take place.

I feel like the “LEGO games” element really works as this feels like a Lego dimensions but without trying to keep 100s of toys

 

[The Frenchman]

All I see here is common sense but people fail to realize one thing, people are dumb and Funko Pops are a thing...

Fuck this game.

I seriously doubt it ...in fact, I find it hard to believe that there's even a legitimate market for this.

 

[gaga941021]

Don't we hate funko's guts with our hearts? I thought we are.

I don't think you should speak for others.

Nope.

that's NOT how pirating works you pirate something YOU ACUALLY WANT TO HAVE!

I dunno, if it's anything like the co-op LEGO games then I would probably enjoy it. They just need to replace the building mechanic with something as fun.

Or something you want to just try out before making a purchase, or something from a certain draconian corpo that you don't want to support anymore

 

[Kioku]

I just want Fuzion Frenzy remade.. That’s what I read at first, and now I’m just sad.

 

[halfashark]

zoomer beanie babies, tbh.

i use the term zoomer affectionately. it's just every generation has its beanie baby weirdos and funko pops are it. i know someone whose walls are so densely packed with them that you can't even see the wall itself anymore and he is totally convinced that they're gonna be worth a fortune one day.

 

[Naster]

Stupidest shit ever created.

 

[dudeguy2022]

funko pops are the epitome of soulless corporate merchandise, literally what is the appeal for a video game of them. It's like making a video game based off of sillybands or pogs or something, there's nothing outside of the merchandise that can be enhanced by having it as a game

They're just capitalizing on "nerd culture"
