It is for sure one of my favorite Pops and I really hope they come out with (normal) Robin, Marhsall and Lily in the future. Introducing so many subplots and clues of varying import would go some way to explaining why the show’s ending left fans infuriated. CBS had “indie movie darling” Gerwig and the voice of Meg Ryan, in what would have been her first regular TV role – they would have made it work if they really wanted to. Others pondered the significance of the many random objects baked into the show’s mythology, from a blue french horn to a mysterious pineapple, its origins unknown.

Unlike Lost, which built to a climax that was only problematic to those who wanted it to end completely differently, HIMYM seemed to pivot away from all of the storylines it had been developing in exchange for a last-minute plot twist. While fan vitriol over an unfortunate finale isn’t unusual, it isn’t often detrimental to everything that came before it. In 2030, affable architect Ted Mosby tells his teenage children about the events that led up to him meeting their mother, with Ted’s romantic trevails (and his friendships with engaged couple Lily and Marshall and pick-up artist creep Barney) unfurling in flashback. Gerwig has claimed that she was the problem with the spin-off, telling Stephen Colbert in 2017 that audiences in test screenings disliked the show whenever she was on screen – a problem, given that she was its star. Fans will be absolutely delighted by the fact that the figure isn't simply just Ted, but Ted holding the blue french horn that he stole for Robin in the pilot episode, throwing it all the way back to where everything first started.

Plus, there could be a selection of themed variants for each character should Funko opt for a large vinyl line.

Initially, they appear to be this show’s version of Ross and Rachel, the central couple which every future plot somehow revolves around.But the vitriol levelled at HIMYM around the same time must have had some impact on the show’s abandonment. Although only two figures comprise the initial release, it would be shocking if figures aren't issued for Marshall Eriksen (Jason Segel), Lily Aldrin (Alyson Hannigan) and Robin Scherbatsky (Cobie Smulders) at some point. In the final ever episode, Barney finally develops respect for women after having a baby daughter – the mother of the child, a one night stand Barney dubs “Number 31” in lieu of bothering to remember her name, is apparently irrelevant to such ostensible growth. As the show grew in popularity, stars flocked to it in the hopes of boosting their profiles by proxy.

An alternate ending, which was more or less the same as the fan-made version, was included as a special feature on the final season’s DVD release. Because in the time How I Met Your Dad was first announced to the day it was abandoned, How I Met Your Mother had wrapped up its own final season, and become too toxic as a brand to ever mine for further content. She’d be the star of a How I Met Your Motherspin-off, one titled, in all seriousness, How I Met Your Dad.There were vast Reddit threads theorising about the identity of the mother, and deep dives into potential clues from past episodes (based on an off-hand joke in a first-season episode, many fans had long speculated that The Mother was named Tracy, something not confirmed until the very last episode). fly off the shelves, Funko is bound to make more figures so that good ole Marshall Eriksen can make his way into everyone's Funko collections (or at least we can hope).
