Top 30 Funko POPs I'd like to have (that are unlikely)

I mean, there are certain Characters that haven't been made into POPs that I'd like to see. My Mom would've killed for a Magnum P.I. POP. I'm also aware that Funko tries not to do "Normal looking people" except when they do... Golden Girls, Hillary Clinton, Bob Ross, Donald Trump, The Saved by the Bell ones... I missed out on Cheerleader Kelly Kapowski... Mmmm! Kelly Kapowski...
So here's my list of top 30 series or Characters that I'd like to see on POPs.

30: Knight Rider:
I know most of the fun of Knight Rider is KITT... Which Funko could release and have a KARR repaint. Something similar happens to Michael Knight and Garthe Knight. Toss in Devon and Bonnie and you have a full set. and there's a Baywatch Mitch Buchanon POP...

29: Boy Meets World (and Girl Meets World if necessary):
Let's be honest here: it's all about Cory and Shawn, I MEAN Cory and Topanga Eric and Mr. Feeny. Especially Feeny. A BMW wave could be: Cory, Shawn, Topanga, Eric, Mr. Feeny, and Plays with Squirrels.

28: Full(er) House:
The Characters for these are rather obvious.
If we're going Full House: Danny, Jesse, Joey w/ Mr. Woodchuck, DJ, Steph, and Becky... Cause screw the Olsen Twins.
If it's Fuller House, then DJ with Tommy, Steph, Kimmy, Jackson, Ramona, Max.

27: Urkel (just Urkel):
Urkel made and broke Family Matters. I'd totally get an Urkel. I've seen an Urkel Custom floating around the interwebs.

26: Fresh Prince of Bel Aire:
Y'ALL know my disdain towards Will Smith... But I love Carlton, Geoffrey, Uncle Phil, even Jazz. This one lends itself for variants. Normal Jazz, being tossed Jazz, Normal Suit Uncle Phil, Pillowy mounds of mashed potatoes Uncle Phil. Intro Fresh Douche, School Uniform Fresh Douche,  and Carlton has to be in mid Carlton Dance while holding a candle. Both Ain't Viva come to mind.

25: American Pie:
Nuff'said! If we have Game of Thrones, Freddy and Jason, this is nothing.

24: Metal Gear Solid:
Just the first MGS (Shadow Moses) lends itself for a few variants.
Solid Snake, Stealth Camo Snake, shirtless tortured Snake.
Ocelot, One armed Ocelot
Liquid with and without Trenchcoat, Miller disguise.
Grey Fox and Stealth Camo Grey Fox
Otacon with pissed pants, Stealth Camo Otacon
Then we have Mantis, Wolf, Raven, Meryl...
Heck Colonel Campbell, Mei Ling, and Naomi could have a variant each: Normal colors and Codec colors.
Last but not least Johnny Sasaki.

23: FFVII:
Mentioning games and not mentioning a Final Fantasy here would be wrong. We can get about fifteen figures easily.

22: Mythbusters (the originals):
It's a six figure set: Savage, Hyneman, Kari, Grant, Tori, and Buster.

21: Captain Planet:
It's Captain Planet, what can I say about him?

20: Miley Cyrus:
House of Rants had a Miley fan past stage.  Preferably if it's Tryhard Miley.

19: Ron Jeremy:
We know why he is famous and it would be an interesting POP to have.

18: The Room:
Ohai Funko POPs! If you're making Funko POPs of crappy movies...
Sharknado POP I'm talking about thee. Getting Tommy Wiseau as a POP would be amazing. Either Hai Doggy or I did not hit her would be fine. (Mark would be a great bonus)

17: Cinemassacre:
The Angry Videogame Nerd, Bullshit guy, Board James, maybe variants of the Nerd, one with the gaming accesories, the normal AVGN, and a different pose for AVGN with Shit Pickle.

16: Nostalgia Critic:
If we're having the AVGN, we need his "rival". We could get at least two variants out of NC: Normal outfit, Dictator outfit... OF COURSE!! Bonus Characters could be Malcolm, Tamara, Rob with the Raptor mask, Santa Christ.

15: ALF:
Normal version and flocked version... Seems like an obvious nostalgic choice, but I can't believe he hasn't been made.

14: Mrs. Doubtfire:
There's plenty of potential for variants here, not to mention that it would be nice to have a Robin Williams themed display.

13: CSI:
Mostly because of Horatio Caine, but I'd take a Gil Grissom as well.

12: Highlander:
Connor, Ramirez, Kurgan, Duncan, Richie... You could even have headless variants, like the Bed Stark from 5 years ago. Mom would've bought the hell out of the MacLeod ones.

11: Barney the Dinosaur:
You have Reptar, Godzilla, the upcoming Raptors and Dilophosaurus from Jurassic Park, we NEED BARNEY... For reasons...
What? I'm going to find a wae to get the Target Goldblum...

10: Apache Chief...
We have the Wonder Twins, so an excuse to have a six inch Apache Chief POP is not needed... eunuch Chuck and all that.


9:Neon Genesis Evangelion
Some would argue that it would be expensive if the EVAs and some angels are made in the large scale. True, but it would be so awesome. That way we could have the pilots in uniform, and in civilian clothes. If it were up to me, Shinji would be in the Yogurt scene pose. Gendo's pose is obvious. But you get the idea.

8: Jackass:
Think about it... Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Chris Pontius (bonus points if he's dressed as the devil), Steve-O whose back tattoo should be of his Funko Pop self... But it would be a bit hard to see due to the small size of the Pops...

7: Darkstalkers:
A rather small roster compared to say, Street Fighter... 18 figures cover the entire series.

6: Chuck Norris:
Do I need to explain why? It's Chuck Norris!

5: Rambo:
I will be honest here: I don't need a full line Just Rambo preferably First Blood part II Rambo.

4: Bloodsport:
You know the story of the time I *MAY HAVE MET* Jean Claude Van Damme. Well, the scene referenced in that story is the reason why I want a Frank Dux and Chong Li POPs.

3: Spaceballs:
I know the vintage contract with George Lucas, but now Lucas is not the boss of Lucasfilms... I mean it's just Lone Star, Barf, Dot, Princess Vespa, Dark Helmet and Yogurt. A small release on a limited time one off deal thing.

2: Gyakuten Saiban:
And this was to be expected here at the House of Rants. We do love ourselves a little Ace Attorney (hurry up with the English dub, Funimation)
This set can be limited to 6 figures:
Wright, Edgeworth, Judge, Gumshoe, Maya, and Mia in Maya's body.
If a second wave is needed, then Von Karma (both Franziska and Manfred), Godot, Pearl, Coffee victim Wright.

1: Disney's Gargoyles:
If there was an amazing 90s show from Disney Afternoon, Gargoyles fits the bill. You can get a variant for most Characters: The Gargoyles would be Day and Night, Camaros could be in civilian clothes and in his Gargoyle armor. Demons gets a third variant with human version.

Hot damn! My wallet just committed Sudoku about 23 times.
