Keeping on brand, it also seems more important that FunkO’s is a collectible product rather than an edible one. It's expanding their brand into a new, lucrative market. Combining the popularity of its Pop! vinyl figures with this favored breakfast food seems like a smart move for Funko. The global cereal market has been valued publicly at over $37 billion. Known for its fun mascots and toy prizes, cereal is hardly a surprising avenue for Funko to branch out into. If it exists, there’s probably a Funko version of it. There are Funkos for musicians and celebrities.

There are Funkos for movies, TV and comic books. The second wave of cereals will include Pennywise, Batman and Batgirl, Beetlejuice, Huckleberry Hound and Cthulhu. All cereals will change the color of the milk to match. The Mega Man cereal will be blue, the Gollum one green and the rest red. The Lord of the Rings' Gollum FunkO’s will be available at BoxLunch.Īll of the cereals will feature multigrain O shapes. Freddy - the company mascot - FunkO’s will be available through Funko itself, with Nightmare On Elm Street’s Freddy Krueger FunkO’s and Friday the 13th’s Jason FunkO’s both offered at FYE. Mega Man FunkO’s will be available at GameStop, while Cuphead & Mugman FunkO’s are at Hot Topic. They’re going to be sold in the same stores exclusive Funkos usually find themselves at. Those interested won’t be able to pick up these cereals at their local supermarket. Funko’s aim is to put the “fun back in breakfast”. In addition to the box, which they encourage fans to collect, each cereal will contain a mini figure. Joining Mega Man and Cuphead will be Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees and Gollum cereals. Now they��re adding food to their stable of products. They’re working with Microsoft to create the Gears Pop game. Funko has flooded the market with countless amount of figures based on pop culture properties. I guess to get the answer to that question, we'll have to do a taste test when the cereal launches later this month across stores.Has Funko’s branding gone too far by branching out from making their popular Pop! vinyl figures to producing their own Mega Man and Cuphead themed cereal? Called FunkO’s, the cereal is set to be released this summer. There's no word on if each cereal tastes unique too (the blog only notes that it will change the color of milk), like if Gollum's green loops are comparable to Apple Jacks, etcetera. This won't be the end of FunkO's, as other cereals with official mascots will be rolled out until the end of the year. In perhaps the most shocking reveal of the blog post, which outlines the store exclusivity for each figure-including Cuphead's exclusivity to Hot Topic and Mega Man's to GameStop-is that FYE is somehow still open across the country. Cuphead (and Mugman) and Mega Man are among the first six, as the collection also includes Funko's own mascot, classic villains Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger, and Gollum from The Lord of the Rings.

Of course, there are some familiar video game heroes for the new cereal. Cuphead's Pop figures remain as some of Funko's best, in my opinion. According to a blog announcement with a nod towards saturday morning cartoons, "every breakfast starts with a bowl of brightly colored cereal that comes out of a box with a really cool mascot on the front and a prize inside!" Fittingly, each branded FunkO's box comes with special cover art, a unique mascot and color scheme for the Fruit Loops-looking cereal, and a unique mini-Funko Pop figure to match. And this has been a big year for Funko Pop: a new video game with Gears of War on the marquee featuring the Pop branding was unveiled at E3 2018, and now Funko's expanding into the cereal market too.įunkO's is a new cereal from the company behind Funko Pop figures. I have a Baymax one floating around somewhere in my house, as much as I hate to admit it.
