The two studios do share a connection, as both were founded by game developer Jon Burton.“It’s incredibly exciting to be able to show everyone what the team here at 10:10 Games has been up to,” shared Arthur Parsons, a co-founder of 10:10 Games.

He also described Funko Fusion as offering “a gaming experience that is incredibly fun, surprising, authentic, and celebrates fandom like never before”.While the trailer showcases a couple of family-friendly franchises like Back To The Future and He-Man, other scenes are more adult in their nature — such as one Funko getting their hands bitten off in a cartoonish recreation of this scene from The Thing.Dolly Ahluwalia, the senior vice president of licensing and emerging brands at Funko, said it has been able to work with “characters that appeal to all ages” to create Funko.
