These Pops are a great way to bring some 2000s love to your collection, especially if you were a Cartoon Network kid. I especially love the OG Dragon Ball one, which features a young Son Goku from the 80s anime, complete with his Saiyan tail and his original Gi! The Samurai Jack Mad Jack one is also pretty cool as it accurately copies the animation style of the show and I bet it would pair really well with the Samurai Jack Funko Pop. With how well these look, we’ll be excited to see more Cartoon Network Funko Pops in the future.
Knowing how close to our hearts these older shows are, it’s saddening to see what’s happening with Cartoon Network now. Not only was their iconic Burbank studio shut down, but recently, their entire website was shut down, now bringing users straight to the Max website. With this shift away from animation and the studio, fans of their work are worried about their future. Back in 2022, Warner Bros. had announced that Cartoon Network would be merging with their own in-house animation studio. So, while not completely over, the future of Cartoon Network is definitely rocky. But we can hope they continue giving us and any future kids some amazing animated shows.
