(written from a production point of view)

Funko is an American pop culture collectibles manufacturer that is headquartered in Everett, Washington and is widely known for its popular and expansive range of Funko POP! vinyl figures.

Funko's first first foray into the Star Trek license was in the form of a series of "crossover" POP! Television figures of characters from The Big Bang Theory dressed in Star Trek: The Original Series uniforms in 2013. In 2014, the company debuted its first line of licensed POP! Television figures based on Star Trek proper, and has subsequently released several more series.
