Funko’s Pop! vinyl figures are a world-dominating product line, and now the company is aiming to bring that distinct aesthetic to tabletop gaming. Funkoverse promises “four exciting game scenarios,” and will launch with DC Comics, Harry Potter, Golden Girls, and Rick and Morty.
You can get details on gameplay below, but as with any game, I don’t think you’ll know exactly what to think until you’ve played it. The cynical take would be that Funkoverse is just another avenue for selling people on the Pop! brand, but I’m willing to withhold judgment until I try for myself. And I’ll be walking away from New York with a copy of the DC version of the game to evaluate, so stay tuned. We try to sell you straight here at Batman News—if it’s good, I’ll tell you, and if it’s not, I’ll tell you that, too.
