There are a lot of Funko Pop! figures out there - more than 13,000 different designs at last count - spanning a number of different fandoms. There's one character I can almost guarantee even the most avid Pop! collector doesn't have, though. You. Funko has been focused on turning MCU heroes and video game characters into Pop! figures for the past 25 years, but thanks to the introduction of the figure maker's new Pop! Yourself experience, now it's your turn.

Funko fans have had the chance to Pop! themselves in person for a little while already. TheGamer's very own Eric Switzer turned himself into a figure at this year's San Diego Comic-Con. However, the in-person ability to Pop! Yourself at Funko stores in Everett, WA, and Hollywood, CA has now found its way online. Turning yourself into a Funko Pop! will cost $30, and you can start the process by clicking the link in the box below.
Marvel, DC, Star Wars, and just about every other franchise and series has its own Funko Pop! figures, now it's your turn. Funko's Pop! Yourself experience is now available online, allowing fans to turn themselves and their loved ones into Pop! figures for their collections.
The Pop-making process kicks off with picking your body type, skin tone, and then hair style and color. Pop your preferred clothes on the figure and then you'll have the chance to add a couple of accessories if you want to. There are a lot of options, giving you the chance to add a little of your own personality to a figure that hopefully resembles you somewhat by this point.
The accessories include backpacks, cookware, sports equipment, and even a little controller should you want the Pop! version of yourself to be a gamer just like you. There's even an option to add a buddy, either a dog or a cat, should you want to turn your pet best friend into a Pop! figure too. Your initial reaction will be to turn yourself into a Funko Pop!, of course, but this is also a pretty great gift idea for the holidays. Everyone in my family will be unwrapping Pop! versions of themselves this Christmas thanks to me.
It'll be interesting to see some of the creative things Pop! fans do with this new ability. With a lot of customization options, it may well be possible to turn characters you love who haven't received the Funko treatment into truly unique Pop! figures.
