5 DC Pop Figures We Still Need
Funko continues to churn out their adorable POP! collectibles at a quickened pace, but with so [...]
Soranik Natu
The Green Lantern franchise as a whole (save for the ill-received film) has been largely ignored by the powers at be at Funko headquarters, but this time the focus is on the doctor of the corps, Soranik Natu.
The Green Lantern POPs should always come with a construct of some sort, and Soranik often has a medical console type apparatus around her arm. Her pink skin makes her unique amongst the other DC POPs, but Funko needs to make sure to include her mark underneath her eye as well.
She also comes with a built-in variant, as she's currently part of the Fear Corp, so there can be both a yellow and green version for collectors to pursue.
The Question
The Question has been a fan favorite for some time now, and like Soranik Natu, this POP comes with a perfect excuse for a variant, which collectors will go out of their way to seek out.
Depending on what timeframe you disvoered the character, you might be more familiar with either Vic Sage or Renee Montoya. Sage appeared in the early comics as well as the cricially acclaimed 52 weekly series, and was also the version seen in Justice League Unliminted. Montoya took the mantle after his death up to the present.
The trademark blue hat and suit would be required, and having them in a noirish action pose would be amazing. There could even be a third variant with their actual portrait as opposed to the blank face, but that might be reaching a bit, as the character is well liked but isn't know by many in the mainstream.
Batgirl 66
There is no shortage of Batgirl POPs available on the market right now, and that almost kept this entry from being included. That said, it's a crime, A CRIME that there is a 1966 version of Batman, Robin, The Joker, and Catwoman and not one of Yvonne Craig's beloved version of Batgirl.
Okay, maybe not so much of the outrage, but you get the point. Funko could have the regular painted version and the glistening paint version if they wanted a chase variant, and if they wanted to parlay the character into a new POP Ride (like the Batman 66 Batmobile before it) there are few more recognizable vehicles than Batgirl's motorcycle.
Seriously, this needs to happen. Egghead better not get a POP before she does.
Constantine
Everyone loves Constantine unless of course, he's on NBC and then no one seems to care. The good news is that the character is still incredibly popular in the current Rebirth era DC universe, and his unique look is more than deserving of a POP.
Since this is the comic version, you can get a little more experimental with him. One of his hands could be hurling a translucent spell, and he would need to have a cigarette hanging from his mouth. Personally, a Detective Chimp inclusion would be fantastic, but that's a pretty big longshot. Still, how cool would that be?
Having some sort of mystical symbol on his base would also be fitting for the character, but Funko doesn't often do anything special for those.
Scooby Apocalypse
One of the more welcome surprises of the DC Rebirth era Hanna-Barbera relaunches was Scooby Apocalypse, which reinvented the characters from the classic cartoon into modern day interpretations, just with a lot more monsters thrown in.
Funko could do a whole set of Scooby Apocalypse POPs featuring Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and of course Scooby. They could up the ante with a special 6-inch sized monster to display next to them, and if they wanted to they could also make the reinvented Mystery Machine. As we've seen with the various renditions of the Batmobile, Funko isn't opposed to milking a popular item.
