Will There Be Shadow And Bone Funko Pops

Okay, let's get right to it: Will we be blessed with Shadow and Bone Funko Pops? This is the question keeping me up at night. This is the question I whisper to my cat. This is the question I'd carve into a pumpkin if it were October! (Okay, maybe not carve, because pumpkins are delicate. But you get the idea.)
Right now, the answer is... well, frustratingly, it's a big, fat "we don't know." BUT! Don't despair, darling reader! Hope springs eternal, especially when it comes to tiny vinyl figurines with oversized heads. Let's break down why I think (and desperately hope) that Shadow and Bone Funko Pops are not just possible, but practically inevitable.
The Evidence: Let's Play Detective
First, let's look at the facts, ma'am, just the facts! Shadow and Bone is a huge deal. The books are bestsellers. The Netflix series was a smash hit (even if some of us – ahem, me – had opinions about certain... creative choices... in the adaptation). Netflix throws money at things that are popular, and Funko throws money at things that Netflix throws money at. It's practically a law of nature.
Must Read
Secondly, Funko loves a good fantasy series. Think about it: Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, The Witcher. They've all been Funko-fied to within an inch of their lives (and wallets). Shadow and Bone fits right in! We've got magic, we've got prophecies, we've got morally grey characters. It's a Funko goldmine!
Finally, and this is crucial, the fanbase is rabid! In the best way, of course. We're talking about people who have memorized the Grishaverse map, who can debate the merits of different pairings until the sun explodes, and who would happily donate a kidney to see Kaz Brekker immortalized in plastic. That kind of passion gets noticed.
Dreaming of Funko Figures: What Could We Get?
Oh, the possibilities! Picture this:

The Obvious Choices:
Alina Starkov, Sun Summoner, glowing (literally, a glow-in-the-dark Funko? Genius!). Maybe even a limited edition one with her in her kefta!
General Kirigan (The Darkling), brooding and mysterious, possibly with some shadows swirling around him (okay, maybe that's asking too much, but a girl can dream!).
Kaz Brekker, looking perpetually unimpressed, cane in hand (obviously!), and maybe even one with his gloves ON and one with his gloves OFF (for... reasons...).
Funko POP!, figurka kolekcjonerska, Shadow and Bone: Alina Starkov Inej Ghafa, deadly and graceful, knives at the ready. A balancing Inej? I'd buy ten!
Jesper Fahey, charming and sharpshooting, with his revolvers (obviously). And a variant with Milo the Goat!
The Wish List (because why not?):
A Zoya Nazyalensky Funko with a dramatic wind effect billowing her hair. Maybe even a limited edition one mid-Squall!
Amazon.com: Funko Shadow and Bone POP! Alina STARKOV SDCC 2023 Shared A Wylan Van Eck Funko covered in paint (he's an artist, after all!).
Even background characters like Baghra, looking suitably terrifying.
And let's not forget the possibility of scenes! A Funko Movie Moment of Alina summoning the sun? Kaz and Inej having a moment? Okay, I'm getting ahead of myself. But you see my point!

Why It Might Not Happen (Don't Panic!)
Okay, let's be real for a second. There are always reasons why these things don't happen. Maybe Netflix and Funko can't agree on a licensing deal. Maybe Funko thinks the fanbase isn't big enough (they're wrong!). Maybe a rogue Grisha used a shadow amplifier to curse the whole project. Who knows? But even if the odds seem stacked against us, remember the power of collective manifestation!
The Call to Action (Because We Need to Make This Happen!)
What can you do? Tweet at Funko. Tag them in your Shadow and Bone fan art. Start a petition. Write impassioned letters to the CEO (okay, maybe not the letters). But seriously, let your voice be heard! Let Funko know that the Grishaverse is a force to be reckoned with, and that we're ready to throw our money at them for these precious, precious pops!
So, will there be Shadow and Bone Funko Pops? Only time will tell. But I, for one, am choosing to believe. And if we all believe hard enough, maybe, just maybe, we can summon them into existence. After all, we're practically Grisha ourselves, right?
