History of the Funko Pop USA Brand
Funko was founded in 1998 by collector Mike Becker at his home in Washington state. He searched for several months but never found a piggy bank with the face of the character he needed. Then he decided to simply buy a license and make such a product himself. It turned out that this character (mascot Big Boy from the restaurant chain) was of no interest to anyone; the piggy banks didn’t sell at all. The company almost went bankrupt, but still released another product — wobbly-headed figures in the form of Austin Powers. And they, unexpectedly, “took off” very well: more than 80,000 of them were sold. This was the beginning of the famous Funko Pop figures.
The next characters were the Grinch, Winnie the Pooh, and mascots from popular children’s treats. All in the same style — solid, small, with bobble heads. Finally, in 2011, the Funko Pops we know today appeared: vinyl, big-headed, very cute, with beautiful round black eyes. And they were meant not for the car, but for a shelf in the house, so their heads no longer wobbled.
Already in 2012, the new line of toys broke all records: it sold for $20 million. For many people in America (and even Russia!), buying new Funko Pops became no less important than standing in line for the latest iPhone.
Why Are Funko Pop So Popular?
First of all, these are very inexpensive toys. In America they cost on average $8 (490 rubles). At the same time, they are made very high-quality, and they look great in almost any interior. Secondly — Funko Pop allow you to be part of your favorite fandom. Did you like “The Mandalorian”? Well, here are figures with all the characters from there! Do you love “The Witcher” or “Harry Potter”? Funko Pop has toys with both heroes and villains. And when guests come over, there’s always something to talk about right away.
New figures are created through brainstorming and feedback via various social networks. Once the toy idea is approved, it goes to the Chief Sculptor and Creative Director to finalize the design. One of the main aspects of the business (and factors in success) for Funko Pop right now is tracking the popularity of specific models and characters. Which face from which TV show or music group people will want to buy, and which character is already “not a thing,” so its production can be slowed down. From concept stage to product on the shelves, Funko currently takes 70 days. The timeframe is unrealistically short, but you still need to plan ahead.
The head of the company says that the main reason for such great success of Funko Pop is precisely the ability to adapt quickly, feel the times perfectly, and give people exactly what they want right at this moment. And the choice among any popular faces — from movies, games, the world of music, superheroes, everything that interests and captivates people.
And of course, a big factor in Funko’s popularity is the signature chibi style of the figures, taken from Japan. The appearance of the toys appeals to both kids and adults.
