Washington Hoops Fans Rejoice: Funko Teams Up with the WNBA

Funko Pop! WNBA player figures

Fans of the Seattle Storm and Portland's expansion team, get ready for this exciting news!  Funko announces agreement with WNBA, celebrating women’s basketball fandom.

I believe everyone is a collector deep down in their hearts and the Northwest iconic company Funko has set the collector world on fire with their Pop! figures. I have been a big Seattle Mariners fan since 1977 and have been looking at some of the Pop figures to add to the game room.

I love to watch the Seattle Mariners games on TV, and one time, Seattle Mariners broadcaster Brad Adam did a feature about Funko and the Pop! figures.  A little secret was leaked about what the sports fans in the future could be in store for. I think this might be a part of the plans for this year.
