There’s a video game about Funko Pops coming out in September. Yes. It’s called Funko Fusion, and it’s just gotten a reveal trailer, which features Funko Pops from about 15 thousand different IPs. Your kids might end up totally addicted to it, as they are to Roblox and eating crayons. Or, they might hate it. Or, they may very well not even care that it exists.
Why’s this a thing, you ask? Well, without answering ‘capitalism’ in quite a reductive manner and clocking off for tea and biscuits, my answer has to be that it’s the product of a collaboration between 10.10 Games and Funko to create video games. Funko Fusion is one of those, and apparently it’s designed to be “a festival of fandom” the likes of which you’ve never experienced.
In line with that slgan, the reeveal trailer that’s just arrived for Funko Fusion – a name which in and of itself sounds a bit like a drug from a 90s cartoon – features enough popular franchises in Funko Pop form that you’ll definitely get flashbacks to times you’ve visit a shop that happens to sell a few DVDs or comics in addition to a mountain of real life Funko Pops.
