Summary
The success ofMarvel Rivalswas never guaranteed, so it’s probably going to be a while before we start to get any official merch tied to the hero shooter and its characters. That’s why, less than two months into its run, some of its more creative fans have taken it upon themselves to dream up what Rivals Lego sets and Funko Pops might eventually look like.
Clearly the addition of the Fantastic Four to the Rivals roster has been popular with those creative players as all four of them - including the two who haven’t even been added to the game yet - are featured in both the concepts for the Pops and the Lego sets.616_cbtwthas come up with the Rivals Lego sets, one featuring the Fantastic Four’s Fantasticar, and another based on the Klyntar map where you’re tasked with defending Knull’s Essence.
Both set concepts are smaller builds that clock in at under 500 pieces each, handy as if they were to become a reality, they’d both be among Marvel’s cheaper Lego sets as opposed to its set pieces like Avengers Tower. They also come with Minifigures, but the beauty of any Marvel Rivals Lego sets we might get in the future is that anyone from the game’s roster that has already been immortalized in Lego can be added to the fray whether they’re part of a Rivals set or not.
Marvel Rivals Players Have Been Coming Up With Their Own Lego Sets And Funko Pops
Hopefully It’s Only A Matter Of Time Before They Become A Reality
As for the Funko Pops, those concepts are the work offun_kollect. The Rivals fan has turned ten characters from the roster into Pops including all of the Fantastic Four. They’ve actually shared ten ideas because Venom has two Pops - one for his regular skin and a second based on the Cyan Clash skin Rivals players unlocked during the game’s beta period if they managed to hit level 30.
I’m not sure if Funko turning Cyan Venom into a Funko Pop would please or anger players sincemany of them have been asking for a second chance to unlock it. Maybe if buying the Pop also comes with a code to unlock the skin in-game.
Even though these are early days for Marvel Rivals, it’s already been heavily rumored that some of its characters will have Funko Pops before the end of 2025. Two weeks ago,Funko Pop Newsclaimed Rivals figures will drop sometime this year. Until then, we can only hope they might look like the concepts above.
