All Funko fans: your favorite collectible is taking a leap from shelves to screens.
The popular pop-culture collectible brand is set to expand its territory into films, television, and animated content. To achieve their ambitious dream, the brand is teaming up with Rideback – the production company that brought to life the LEGO Movie franchise, Lilo & Stitch, and Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender – along with AI-enabled creation tool company Spuree.

The content partners have agreed to work on a range of Funko-inspired projects, including animation, hybrid animation/live-action, as well as scripted and unscripted content.
While details remain thin on exactly how individual projects will unfold, the deal is described as one that “is designed to unlock new storytelling opportunities rooted in Funko’s globally recognized brands and deep fan engagement, while building scalable franchises that can live across screens, platforms, and other consumer touchpoints.”
“Funko sits at the center of fan culture, turning the moments people love into collectible characters, with more than one billion products in the hands of fans worldwide,” said Funko CEO Josh Simon in a statement shared exclusively by Variety.
“Rideback’s unmatched ability to transform beloved toys and characters — like Lego & ‘Lilo & Stitch’ — into expansive, emotionally resonant stories makes them an ideal partner. Together with Spuree, we’re excited to open a new chapter of storytelling for Funko fans everywhere,” he added.
Apparently, this isn’t the first time we have been hearing about such a Funko-inspired project. A LEGO Movie-style project has long been in gestation at Warner Bros., though it eventually stalled and faded into limbo.
This new partnership, however, signals renewed momentum, with a specific project detail expected to be announced soon.
