Funko Fusionannounced on Tuesday, is an upcoming video game starring Funko pop Characters that will mix take on various Universal-owned IPs in a pop-culture mishmash that I suppose someone, somewhere, is probably excited about.
Funko Pops are more than that Plastic waste going to landfill because people don’t buy them. They are also weird looking plastic toys that can be found in every store on the planet these days. Over the past decade, the company behind them has signed deals with seemingly every major IP holder and flooded the market with big-headed numbers based on practically every damn movie, TV show, comic book, and video game you can think of . And now these cursed characters with melting faces that people sometimes have spend way too much money make the jump to video games with the help of NBCUniversal, which uses the toy video game to remind us all how much of our pop culture is owned by a small handful of mega-corporations.
That was announced in the new trailer released today Funko Fusion, we see how strange things get when a company digs into its intellectual property fund and mixes it all up with little care or concern for thematic coherence. For example, at one point in the trailer we see the iconic and gory scene the thing in which Dr. Copper from an alien monster imitating a person’s body, the arms are torn off. Just seconds before that, we see Funko versions of Back to the Future Characters having family-friendly fun.
Does it all fit together? Not really. But like the various streaming services we’ve seen over the past few years, it doesn’t matter. All that matters is that big corporations like Universal or Disney arrive throw all their intellectual property in one big box and keep selling it back to people.
Who Makes Funko Fusion?
Funko Fusion, which currently has no specific release date after 2024, is being developed by 10:10 Games. The new studio was founded by former members of TT Games, the studio behind Popular Lego games like Lego Star Wars. Funko Fusion is the first game from the fledgling British studio, and judging by the small amount of gameplay seen in today’s trailer, it seems Funko Fusion will feature colorful third-person action gameplay similar to TT’s hit Lego games.

In a press release, Arthur Parsons, the game’s design director, said it was “incredibly exciting to be able to show everyone what the team is up to here at 10:10 Games.” He also mentioned how the studio was “trusted” by Universal to create the to take various characteristics of the big media company and present them through a “Funko lens”. Terrifying stuff.
