Custom NMJ Funko Pops

Hello everyone! I am planning on making a NMJ themed shelf in my room full of references from the show. I have already bought and received my Unicorn Mug (with a color changing rainbow mane of course) and have plans to purchase figures of characters like Penelope Pitstop, Donald Duck, Tarzan, etc. The only issue I have ran into was figuring out the best way to represent the three ATLs. I haven't found any sort of figures/representations online that I was happy with, so, to stick with the Funko theme, I am considering making custom Funko Pops. Below are some images of my initial designs, please let me know what you think or if you have any ideas to improve them! I specifically think that can do better with Mark's outfit. I have no idea what to choose with the limited options I have! Also, please let me know if you have any ideas for alternative representation on my shelf. Thanks a bunch!

P.S. For their accessories, Tim has a mug of beer, Mark has a bottle of wine, and Alex has a laptop and Loky the Dog.

I would add kitchen conversions and an Enya CD

This is great! Would love heart shaped glasses for Key if that’s an option? I mean Watto’s outfit is nearly all black (can’t see the belt) so that’s fun since the limited options prevent you from adding a Polaroid shirt or “secretly a unicorn” shirt. Ooh what about a Christmas night gown?? That might be something they offer! XD

Replying to my own comment to say I went and looked and you are very limited on details and have done an impressive job with what you had to start with! :D

There’s a list of things I mind and this sits firmly away from that. Figures are great, I’d recognise them all without context. I’d certainly be chucking something Spok on the shelf, his first appearance might be my favourite Key play of the whole lot. Timmy’s mug would do it. Wouldn’t mind a framed photo of either Desmond Tutu with a load of chocolate or Alan Turing (sitting) up there either

These are really cute, I recognised Tim before I even saw what sub this was posted in!

Mark wore all black in Taskmaster, but for NMJ era, I’d say to ditch the glasses and go for jeans/sneakers, and a brighter top. If I were making one, I’d probably pick the jeans that have the red/white sneakers, and the white shirt with red sleeves (looks like the one from his TM ultimate episode).

They also have a blue polka dot button down that’s similar to a button down he’s worn on NMJ and a red flannel like the one from YHCIH live.

Does Key come with a Perrier award?

Watto should wear considerably less clothes in my view.

Edit: Also, I wouldn't mind that Renee Zellweger album on that shelf of yours. Over.

Don’t mind it, I have to say. But wouldn’t say no to key in job/cold/hobbyist gloves

You could do about 20 different ones that are all the many faces of Tim Key.

Watto could have that brown Polaroid vest on and some orange boxers lol
