* WhatCouldHaveBeen: A line for ''Film/TheMummy2017'' was announced, only to be cancelled. There's speculation about the reasons, one being that Creator/TomCruise doesn't allow his likeness to be reproduced on toys (though that would be a stretch considering Pops are SuperDeformed to begin with).

Added DiffLines:

** Speaking of Syrax, she looks like a barely modified dragon model from the ''Series/GameOfThrones'' line, while she's clearly a different breed of dragon compared to Drogon, Rhaegal and Viserion.

Added DiffLines:

** The figure for the dragon Caraxes in ''Series/HouseOfTheDragon'' notably lacks his trademark long neck and the large fins on his legs, looking too much like that series' own Syrax but recolored, while the two beasts look very different from each other.

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: Creator/{{Hasbro}} has the licenses to make vinyl figures based off Creator/MarvelComics and ''Franchise/StarWars'', not Funko, so all Funko figures from those two franchises are bobbleheads.
