Funko wants to work with Nintendo on Nintendo-themed Funko Pop! figurines

It's hard to believe, but Funko doesn't have any Nintendo-themed Funko Pop! releases. The figurine that seems to have covered every pop culture brand under the sun is still waiting to work with the Big N on a line of characters. While nothing is announced at this time, baby steps have happened in terms of Funko's deal with Pokemon Co. for a line of figurines. Funko CEO Brian Mariotti had this to say about the matter.

“We still have to get those Nintendo characters. To build that relationship is super important to us. We all grew up playing Pokémon, with so many fans around the world, it’s amazing to land that license finally.”
