I am a big fan of the Sally Face Funko Pops and the Genshin Impact Funko Pops. The Mortal Kombat Funko Pops are also pretty special as well. You can put just about anything you can fit in them. Pens, lighters, a gunblade, whatever fits! They feature lovingly handcrafted details and even movable whiskers. The quality is the heir apparent from even a first glance.

Before the recent remaster was released, gamers had no option for playing this title on modern hardware outside of emulators. Final Fantasy and Funko Pops seem like a perfect match, don’t they? Both seemingly came out of nowhere and have become mainstays in pop culture. With the former quite literally having “final” in its title because if it flopped, it would have been the first and last installment, and the latter is on everyone’s desk nowadays. Squaresoft and Enix merged in 2003, and unfortunately, this also means that there are no Dragon Quest Funko Pops as Square-Enix owns the rights to that IP.
Not only do I believe that Square-Enix is protective of their own intellectual property, but I also believe that they are currently making more money crafting and commissioning their own figurines and Funko Pop-like collectibles than they would be if they negotiated a licensing deal with Funko. The two of them would be a perfect match, but unfortunately, Square-Enix won’t bite the bullet and let fans get adorable vinyl figurines of their characters. Thankfully, the internet is vast and has excellent alternatives from Square-Enix and people like you and me. Weaving a web of political intrigue, time travel, sorceresses, and drawing inspiration from Saved by the Bell of all things, the eighth installment had a unique “junction” system that involved players drawing magic from enemies they fought and being able to outfit any character with any combination of spells and summons they see fit, albeit in a somewhat clunky way.

Despite seemingly being able to conjure up a Funko for just about everything, the Final Fantasy franchise has remained elusive. Unless you’re going the Etsy route and commissioning a custom Pop, there is no Final Fantasy Funkos, and it doesn’t look like that will change anytime soon. While Square-Enix has made a boatload of Final Fantasy media, the fact of the matter is that they always do it themselves or play a heavy supervisory role in the process. They don’t like to let the likeness of their characters fall into the hands of just anybody. They hold a high and peculiar standard, and it’s also possible that due to cultural differences, they very well may have distrust an American-based business. Will you be looking to add this Tiamat Funko Pop to your Dungeons and Dragons Funko Pop collection? The reason is complicated and multi-faceted. For starters: Square-Enix is an old-school Japanese company. The land of the rising sun is not like the land of the star-spangled banner. Japan plays by a different rulebook than we do.Read also: Complete Final Fantasy Merchandise Guide.

In a do-or-die moment, they merged with Enix, the creators of the popular Dragon Quest series and the rest is history.
