The Kardashians deserve to be celebrated with KUWTK Funko Pop! figures
For more than a decade, Keeping Up with the Kardashians has been a guilty pleasure for viewers who have happily welcomed the likes of Kim, Khloe, Kourtney and the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan into their homes for 18 seasons and counting. Beyond their status as reality TV royalty, the family has also become pop culture icons amassing millions of followers and launching several successful brands.
One achievement that continues to evade the Kardashian family; however, has been the honor of their likeness inspiring their own Keeping Up with the Kardashians Funko Pop! figures.
Although Funko continues to announce dozens of new collections each month, Keeping Up with the Kardashians and the Kardashian family continue to be left out in the cold which is a true shame.
Given the many iconic fashion moments the Kardashian family has gifted us with over the years, there are plenty of looks Funko’s design team could turn to for inspiration. Considering how passionate Kardashian fans are, we also imagine a Keeping Up with the Kardashians inspired figure line would fly off the shelves!
Why hasn’t Funko made Keeping Up with the Kardashians Pop! figures?
In all honesty, it’s not quite clear why Funko has never created or released a line of figures inspired by Keeping Up with the Kardashians but if we had to guess it’s likely a licensing deal. Like with most merchandise, brands such as Funko have to seek out certain licenses and rights in order to release figures inspired by both real-life and fictional individuals.
While the brand is best known for figures inspired by the biggest movies and TV dramas, Funko has been rolling out more celebrity-inspired figures including figures based on everyone from game show hosts, music icons, and industry visionaries. In fact, Funko even has released figures featuring the stars of fellow E! Network reality series Total Divas.
At this point, it’s uncertain whether we might ever see official figures featuring Kim, Khloe, Kourtney and the rest of the Kardashian family, we’re definitely keeping our fingers crossed that the brand might finally see the light and gift us with KUWTK inspired Pop! figures someday!
Would you purchase Keeping Up with the Kardashians Funko Pop! figures if the collectible brand were to finally create a line of figures inspired by the first family of reality TV? If a KUWTK collection were to be given the green light, which members of the Kardashian family would you hope to see featured?
