EP126 – More Mystery Boxes and Pocket Monsters


Rick and Piper are back this week bringing forth an awesome interview with former Funko design artist, Julie. First, the team kicks off with some brief NFT talk on the Flintstones NFT Release and transitions to the interview of a lifetime. Julie joins the podcast to talk about her time at Funko. Starting as a Plush Designer in 2016 and eventually moving over to the vinyl team, Julie played a vital role in creating TONS of iconic lines at Funko from Cthulhu Plush to DC Funko Pop! Julie shares what it’s like to be part of the Funko team, the interview process, designing lines, crazy licenses, being a collector, and her experience earlier this year during the Funko layoffs. The team is so thankful for Julie’s courage and coming on the podcast to share her message. Thanks again for an amazing interview. Remember there are people behind the PoP!
