He comes as a standalone pop, or to add even more appeal for the American car fans, there’s… Read More Nerd News: Ice Cube Funko Pops Coming Soon
I saw these announced and I was quite excited as I think the concept behind this set of 4 pops is really cool.

I think the simple answer to this is yes! Funko is a pop culture company, but of course does still I think cater more towards the nerdy end of the pop culture spectrum (animated movies, comics, anime, fantasy etc), and that some of the more mainstream fandoms are a little more left out.
