OMG! That would be awesome! I guess a petition? I'm not sure.... I might do a bit of digging.

Thanks Jedi. I have already contacted the Funko team to find out the best way of how we can go about it.
From there, we will no doubt need to send the message across the social network to build interest. I personally think Mac would be a great addition to the pop vinyl world.
But whatever else you can dig up will be appreciated!

They bob their heads up and down. They're taking over the world, just like Lego.
I think the poison that was used was applied to this knife, passed to the mutton when it was cut and then activated by the wine. - MacGyver. Sometimes you just have to die a little inside to be reborn and rise again as a stronger and wiser version of you. It's better to be a little sad than to be fake content.
I contacted Funko a couple of months ago about this. They said that their decisions are made based on demand AND (more importantly) their ability to obtain licensing rights. Sounded like a subtle way of saying whoever owns the rights (CBS?) is playing hardball. I know they had announced several years ago that Mac was an upcoming figurine, but apparently that fell by the wayside.

Leave it to CBS...

I never really saw the point in these things. What are you supposed to do with them? Just put them on a shelf?
Yep.
I never really got into them. I only have a siamese cat, which I won in a sweepstakes. It looks like it has cataracts.
They have actually become quite collectible. Depending on which franchise or edition of the figure is released, some can go for a fortune. There is a huge fan base of them too.
I have a few myself and make a nice ornament next to your collection. Like my Hulk collection.

I have several Funko POP! figures and bobble heads. One of the cutest ones is Diva Plavalaguna from "The Fifth Element". K-9 from "Dr. Who" is pretty cool too.
I would love a line of "MacGYVER" figures or bobble heads. Mac, Pete, Jack, Murdoc . . . maybe Penny.
Having said all that, here's what I know about FUNKO POP! . . .
FUNKO makes figures and bobble heads. Whether a character is a figure or a bobble head depends on who owns the rights to make "action figures". For instance, HASBRO owns the rights to STAR WARS action figures, so Funko can only make bobble heads. Disney and MARVEL characters fall under this same category.
* on a side note, the same holds true for LEGO minifigures, they can't sell STAR WARS minifigures by themselves (in the blind bags) because they would be considered an action figure. The can be sold individually as a key chain but they make it very difficult to modify the minifigure to be a stand alone minifigure (the metal hook in the top of the key chain minifigure's head is very difficult to remove). Minifigures included in the various sets are considered to be part of a play set, that's how they can be sold as they are.

They had promised us them when they started the Doctor Who pops. I constantly post to Funko to remind them how we need them:)

Upcoming Funko Pops leaked.. Knight Rider, MacGyver, a new wave of Friends, Tony Hawk, Blink 182, and I Love Lucy
No clue if that means Original and/or Reboot, though or what the release date is. "Soon" could be anything, after all. The screenshot picture doesn't reveal anything, either.
That's always a sign you might be in trouble if your dashboard is on fire... Currently blogging about the MacGyver Reboot on Dashboard On Fire
