LEGO is one of the most well known toy brands in the world, and it has even seeped into the video game industry. Traveller's Tales has been delivering fun co-op games based on a multitude of different franchises through its LEGO series, currently working on LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga which is set to bring fans through all nine Star Wars movies in a fun-filled LEGO adventure.

Funko has become an integral part of collector culture and almost everyone knows someone who has at least one. However, it has not had the same success in the gaming industry that LEGO has, but if Funko took some inspiration from Traveller's Tales games it could potentially take off.
