More fully disclose and discuss the specific nature and amounts of the types of costs included in each adjustment for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Please also explain to us how you determined that the adjustments related to each type of cost is appropriate based on the guidance in Question 100.01 of the SEC’s Non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance & Disclosure Interpretations. •We note the adjustments related to (8) one-time cloud based computing arrangement abandonment, (9) one-time disposal costs for finished goods held at offshore factories, (10) one-time disposal costs for unfinished goods held at offshore factories, and (11) inventory write-down. It appears to us that these items represent normal operating expenses related to your business and should not be eliminated from non-GAAP financial measures. Please revise future disclosures to not exclude these adjustments from your Non-GAAP performance measures or explain why you believe these adjustments are appropriate. Refer to Question 100.01 of the SEC's Non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations. RESPONSE The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff's comments and submits that the Company has considered the guidance in Question 100.01 of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations (the “C&DIs”). As more fully described below, the Company believes that its non-GAAP adjustments are not normal, recurring, cash operating expenses necessary to operate its business and believes that the exclusion of the noted costs does not cause the presentation of the Company's non-GAAP measures to be misleading. When adjusting for costs in determining the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures, the Company evaluates the nature and effect of the excluded costs and whether and how those costs correlate to the Company’s operations, revenue generating activities, business strategy, and industry. Based on this evaluation, the Company considers whether a cost could be viewed as a normal, recurring cost related to the Company’s core operations and the exclusion thus misleading. The below paragraphs provide additional background on the noted adjustments and explain how the adjustment for these costs is consistent with the guidance in Question 100.01 of the C&DIs. With respect to the adjustments related to Acquisition transaction costs and other expenses, the expenses and charges related to transactions outside of the Company’s normal business operations, in particular the abandonment of potential new business initiatives that had not become operational, including, vinyl record manufacturing (the “Vinyl Record Manufacturing Initiative”) and a deposit towards a jewelry company acquisition (the “Jewelry Initiative”), the sale of certain assets of the Company’s board games business (the “Sale of Board Games”), the acquisition of Mondo Collectibles, LLC, the Capital Contribution (as defined below), the ACON Sale (as defined below) and the settlement of a previously-disclosed dispute arising out of a U.S. customs matter relating to the Company’s Loungefly, LLC subsidiary (the “Loungefly Matter”). The specific costs were as follows: •For the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily included (i) a lease termination charge of $5.0 million that related to the Vinyl Record Manufacturing Initiative, (ii) expenses related to assets held for sale of $6.8 million (including fair market value adjustments of $6.5 million) in connection with the Vinyl Record Manufacturing Initiative and the Sale of Board Games, (iii) related charges of termination of service contracts, architecture and design fees directly tied to the Vinyl Record Manufacturing Initiative lease termination of $1.6 million, and (iv) purchase agreement termination charge of $1.0 million related to the Jewelry Initiative, partially offset by acquisition-related benefits of $975,000 related to a working capital adjustment under the Mondo Collectibles, LLC acquisition. Each of the foregoing was an unusual, special cost that is not part of the Company’s ordinary operations. The Company does not regularly pursue acquisitions or dispositions as part of its strategy and therefore considers acquisition costs and assets held for sale to be unusual and not reflective of ordinary business operations. Within the most recent five-year period, the Company has completed the acquisition of Mondo Collectibles, LLC, MessageMe, Inc. (d/b/a HipDot) and acquired a majority interest in and subsequently acquired the remaining membership interest in Tokenwave, LLC. The Sale of Board Games was the first disposition in Company history. •For the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily included investment banking and due diligence fees related to (i) the acquisition of Mondo Collectibles, LLC of $181,000 and (ii) the Capital Contribution and ACON Sale (each as defined below) of $2.4 million. As noted above, the Company does not regularly pursue acquisitions or dispositions as part of its strategy and therefore considers acquisition costs associated with the Mondo Collectibles, LLC acquisition to be unusual and not reflective of ordinary business operations. As used herein, “Capital Contribution” refers to the Company’s purchase of 4,251,701 newly issued common units of our subsidiary, Funko Acquisition Holdings, L.L.C. (“FAH, LLC”) in exchange for a capital contribution of approximately $74.0 million, as further described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 10-K”) and “ACON Sale” refers to the sale of equity in the Company and FAH, LLC by ACON Funko Investors, L.L.C and certain of its affiliates to TCG 3.0 Fuji, LP, as further described in the 2022 10-K. The Capital Contribution and the ACON Sale were each a one-time transaction unrelated to the Company’s ordinary operations. •For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily included a net one-time legal settlement gain of $1.4 million related to the Loungefly Matter and costs of $2.0 million related to contract settlement agreements and related services for assets held for sale (including fair market value adjustments of $109,000) for the Vinyl Record Manufacturing Initiative and the Sale of Board Games. Legal settlements vary significantly in their nature, size and frequency and the Company believes the associated costs are not normal operating expenses. As noted above, the Company does not regularly dispose of assets as part of its strategy and therefore considers costs associated with assets held for sale to be unusual and not reflective of ordinary business operations. •For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily included a lease termination charge of $5.0 million that related to the Vinyl Records Manufacturing Initiative, and related charges of termination of service contracts, architecture and design fees directly tied to the Vinyl Records Manufacturing Initiative lease termination of $1.2 million, a purchase agreement termination charge of $1.0 million related to the Jewelry Initiative, partially offset by acquisition-related benefits of $975,000 related to a working capital adjustment under the Mondo Collectibles, LLC purchase agreement. See the first bullet above for an explanation of the Company’s analysis with respect to these adjustments. With respect to the adjustments related to Certain severance, relocation and related costs, the expenses and charges also relate to events outside of normal business operations, namely reductions-in-force that occurred in March and July 2023, certain executive management departures, and two related, extraordinary warehouse events: the consolidation of our Washington-based warehouses and the opening of a new warehouse and distribution facility in Buckeye, Arizona (together, the “Warehouse Relocation”). The specific costs were as follows: •For the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily included severance expenses of $5.2 million related to the reductions-in-force in March and July 2023, $879,000 of severance and benefit costs related to certain executive management departures and $382,000 related to the removal of leasehold improvements and the return of warehouses as part of the Warehouse Relocation. The Company does not consider reductions-in-force, these executive management departures or the charges related to the Warehouse Relocation to be part of its ordinary course operations. •For the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily included severance, relocation and related benefits expenses of $1.7 million, $1.4 million of severance and benefit costs related to certain executive management departures and warehouse equipment and inventory moving costs of $5.6 million related to the Warehouse Relocation. See prior bullet for analysis. •For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily included $1.9 million of severance and benefit costs related to certain executive management departures. The Company does not consider these executive management departures to be ordinary course. •For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily included warehouse equipment and inventory moving costs of $376,000 related to the Warehouse Relocation. It also included $5.4 million of charges related to severance and benefit costs for reductions-in-force in March and July 2023. See the first bullet above for the Company’s analysis of these adjustments. In future periods, the Company will more fully describe the nature of the foregoing adjustments. The adjustment related to one-time cloud-based computing arrangement abandonment represented capitalized costs related to an enterprise resource planning software solution to replace the Company’s multiple global applications that was developed but ultimately abandoned prior to implementation. The development and software costs were deemed to be not transferrable and specific to this single project that was unfit for the Company’s business needs. The Company believes this adjustment is appropriate as this initiative was unique and not reflective of the Company’s ordinary operations. With respect to one-time disposal costs for finished and unfinished goods held at offshore factories and inventory write-down, these charges resulted from an accumulation of various factors, including shipping delays coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic and certain customer order cancelations, the Warehouse Relocation, and the Company’s transition of IT systems, that resulted in excess inventory in the latter part of fiscal year 2022. This excess inventory was primarily related to the foregoing reasons and the related charges were not a result of the Company’s normal course inventory management. In order for the Company’s U.S. warehouse to efficiently receive, process and distribute inventory to meet future customer demand, an inventory write-down and disposal of goods held at offshore factories was deemed necessary. While the Company disposes of certain inventory in the normal course as part of its ordinary operations, it is not normal Company practice to hold a significant amount of excess inventory as a result of a warehouse transition or issues relating to IT systems, and the Company therefore considered these all to be appropriate adjustments to its non-GAAP financial measures. As noted above, the Company considers each of these adjustments to be related to unusual transactions or circumstances not reflective of the Company’s ordinary business operations and therefore appropriate adjustments consistent with Question 100.01 of the C&DIs. In future disclosures, the Company will continue to evaluate non-GAAP financial measures considering the Commission’s rules and the C&DIs. Form 8-K Filed November 7, 2024 Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures 2.We note your disclosure that your senior secured credit facilities use adjusted EBITDA to measure your compliance with covenants, such as senior leverage ratio. Please clarify whether you are using adjusted EBITDA as both a performance and liquidity measure. If so, please enhance your disclosure to also reconcile adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP liquidity measure, cash provided by operating activities, and separately discuss the limitations of your non-GAAP measures as both performance and liquidity measures. RESPONSE The Company uses adjusted EBITDA internally for evaluating its operating performance, for planning purposes, including the preparation of its annual operating budget and financial projections, to assess incentive compensation for its employees, and to evaluate its capacity to expand its business. A similarly named measure is utilized in its senior secured credit facilities to calculate compliance with the financial covenants. However, adjusted EBITDA under the Company’s senior secured credit facilities is not calculated in the same manner as presented in its filings with the Commission and, accordingly, the Company will remove the following statement from future filings: “In addition, our senior secured credit facilities use adjusted EBITDA to measure our compliance with covenants, such as senior leverage ratio.” The Company does not consider adjusted EBITDA as presented in its filings with the Commission to be a liquidity measure.

Amendment No. 1 reflects certain revisions to the Initial Filing in response to the comment letter from the staff of the Commission (the “Staff”) to Mr. Tracy Daw, the Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of the Company, dated May 6, 2019. The response provided herein is based on information provided to Latham & Watkins LLP by the Company.

Washington, D.C. 20549 Re: Funko, Inc. Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2018 Filed March 6, 2019 File No. 001-38274 Dear Ms. Chaudhry: Funko, Inc. (the “Company”) is pleased to respond to the comment of the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) contained in your letter dated May 6, 2019. For ease of reference, the comment is repeated in italics below and followed by the Company’s response. Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2018 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Non-GAAP Financial Measures, page 71 1. The presentation of “adjusted pro forma net income” on page 72 does not appear to be presented in accordance with the pro forma requirements of Article 11 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, please remove “pro forma” from the description of this measure. RESPONSE The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that it will remove “pro forma” from the description of the current non-GAAP measure “adjusted pro forma net income” in future filings with the Commission. Liquidity and Capital Resources Operating Activities, page 75 2. Your analysis of changes in net cash provided by operating activities cites non-cash items and changes in net income, which is on the accrual basis, as material factors. Please revise your analysis to focus on factors that actually impact cash. Refer to section IV.B.1 of SEC Release No. 33-8350 for guidance. RESPONSE The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that it will revise its future analysis of changes in net cash provided by operating activities to focus on factors that actually impact cash, as opposed to discussing non-cash items and changes in net income. Please see the following example of the type of disclosure regarding the net change in cash provided by operating activities that we would provide in future periods: Net cash provided by operating activities was $[●] million for the year ended December 31, 20[●], compared to $[●] million for the year ended December 31, 20[●]. Changes in net cash provided by (used in) operating activities result primarily from cash received from net sales and cash payments for product costs and royalty expenses paid to our licensors. Other drivers of the changes in net cash provided by operating activities include shipping and freight costs, selling, general and administrative expenses (including personnel expenses and commissions and rent and facilities costs) and interest payments made for our short-term borrowings and long-term debt. Our accounts receivable typically are short term and settle in approximately 30 to 90 days. The increase for the year ended December 31, 20[●] compared to the year ended December 31, 20[●] was primarily due to an increase in net income, excluding non-cash adjustments, of $[●] million, driven primarily by an increase in net sales and a decrease in interest expense, net (excluding the effect of a $[●] million decrease in non-cash adjustments related to accretion of discount on long-term debt and amortization of debt issuance costs), primarily offset by an increase in cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) and selling, general and administrative expenses. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was also partially offset by a decrease in the changes in working capital. Changes in working capital reduced net cash provided by operating activities by $[●] million and were primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable of $[●] million and an increase in accounts receivable of $[●] million, partially offset by increases in prepaid expenses and other assets, accrued royalties and inventory of $[●] million, $[●] million and $[●] million, respectively. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, page 91 3. In view of the risk factor disclosed on page 43 in regard to your status as a holding company and that you have no independent means of generating revenue or cash flow, and your ability to pay dividends in the future, if any, is dependent upon the financial results and cash flows of FAH, LLC and its subsidiaries and distributions you receive from FAH, LLC, please explain to us your consideration of Rules 4-08(e), 5.04(c) Schedule I and 12-04 of Regulation S-X. RESPONSE The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that for the year ended December 31, 2018 and at the time of filing the Form 10-K on March 6, 2019, the Company qualified as a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X and the Staff’s guidance in Section 5350 of the Financial Reporting Manual, the requirements of Rules 4-08(e), 5.04(c) Schedule I and 12-04 of Regulation S-X are not applicable to smaller reporting companies. Therefore, the Company believed that these requirements were not applicable to the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company nonetheless has reviewed the Staff’s further guidance in Section 5350 of the Financial Reporting Manual, which provides that: “[W]hen the restricted net assets of a smaller reporting company’s consolidated subsidiaries are a significant proportion of consolidated net assets (not necessarily applying the 25% threshold test) as of the most recently completed fiscal year end, the amount and nature of those restrictions may be important to understanding the smaller reporting company’s liquidity and its ability to pay interest and principal on debt or dividends. In these circumstances, the smaller reporting company should fully discuss, in MD&A, the nature of the restrictions on its subsidiaries net assets, the amount of those net assets, and the potential impact on the company’s liquidity (see S-K 303(a) and Instruction 5). Disclosures within MD&A similar to the parent company condensed financial information specified by S-X 5-04 and 4-08(e) may be necessary to facilitate this discussion.” In light of this guidance, the Company will prepare its future filings with the Commission to include additional discussion in the liquidity and capital resources section for the areas discussed in the Staff’s guidance outlined above. In future filings, the Company intends to include disclosure substantially similar to the following: The New Credit Facilities are secured by substantially all assets of the Borrowers and any of their existing or future material domestic subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions. We are a holding company with no material assets and we do not conduct any business operations of our own. We have no independent means of generating revenue or cash flow, and our ability to pay dividends in the future, if any, is dependent upon the financial results and cash flows of FAH, LLC and its subsidiaries and distributions we receive from FAH, LLC. Under the terms of the New Credit Facilities, our operating subsidiaries are currently limited in their ability to pay cash dividends to the Company, subject to certain customary exceptions, including the ability to pay, so long as there is no current or ongoing event of default, amounts required to be paid under the Tax Receivable Agreement, certain expenses associated with being a public company and reimbursement of expenses required by the LLC Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement, as well as to make other distributions of up to $10 million during any period of four fiscal quarters to pay dividends to the common unit holders of FAH, LLC (including the Company) as long as the funds received by the Company are used to pay dividends to the Company’s stockholders, the Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Facilities) is not in excess of 2.00:1.00 and there is remaining Availability (as defined in the New Credit Facilities) under the New Credit Facilities of at least $25 million. We expect these limitations to continue in the future under the terms of the New Credit Facilities and that they may continue under the terms of any future credit agreement or any future debt or preferred equity securities of ours or of our subsidiaries. The Company further advises the Staff that, to the extent that the Company does not qualify as a smaller reporting company in future periods, the Company’s filings with the Commission will comply with the requirements of Rules 4-08(e), 5.04(c) Schedule I and 12-04 of Regulation S-X. Please do not hesitate to telephone the undersigned at 425-261-0440 if you have any questions regarding this response letter.

Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has updated its disclosure on pages 104 through 106 of Amendment No. 2 to revise its pro forma financial information and its pro forma net income (loss) per share data calculations. The Company respectfully advises the Staff that potentially dilutive securities were only included in the calculation of diluted net income per share for the year ended December 31, 2016 and not for the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2017. We hope the foregoing has been responsive to the Staff’s comments and look forward to resolving any outstanding issues as quickly as possible. Please do not hesitate to contact me at (212) 906-1281 with any questions or further comments you have regarding this filing or if you wish to discuss the above. Sincerely, /s/ Marc D. Jaffe Marc D.

Re: Funko, Inc. Proposed Price Range and Share Number Information Form S-1 (File No. 333-220856) Ladies and Gentlemen: This letter is filed supplementally on behalf of Funko, Inc. (the “Company”) in connection with the review by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of the above-mentioned Registration Statement on Form S-1 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”). To assist the staff (the “Staff”) of the Commission in its review, the Company hereby provides (i) the following preliminary proposed price range and share number information, which will be the basis for the information expected to be included in the Company’s preliminary prospectus (the “Preliminary Prospectus”) forming part of the Registration Statement which relates to the Company’s proposed initial public offering of its Class A common stock (the “Offering”), and (ii) the form of proposed disclosure of the Company’s estimated results for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The preliminary information presented herein reflects an initial offering price to the public of the Company’s shares of Class A common stock (the “Shares”) of between $14.00 and $16.00 per Share, 11,575,486 Shares offered to the public by the Company and 1,757,848 Shares offered to the public by the selling stockholders named in the Registration Statement (the “Selling Stockholders”) in connection with the Offering (or 13,106,726 Shares offered to the public by the Company and 2,226,608 Shares offered to the public by the Selling Stockholders should the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares be exercised in full), representing in the aggregate approximately 54.2% of the post-Offering economic interests in the Company (or approximately 58.7% of the post-Offering economic interests in the Company should the underwriters’ option to purchase additional Shares be exercised in full). October 16 2017 Page 2 Attached as Exhibit A to this letter are certain relevant sections of the Registration Statement updated to reflect the preliminary proposed price range and share number information as described above, certain related changes and other updates, all of which we expect to include in Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement (“Amendment No. 2”) to be filed on or about October 23, 2017. The Company advises the Staff that, given the volatility in the public trading markets and the uncertainty of the timing of the Offering, the preliminary price range and share number information in this letter that the Company is supplementally providing to the Staff is for illustrative purposes only and may differ in the actual Preliminary Prospectus for the Offering. In addition to the information described above, the Company also proposes to include in the “Prospectus Summary” section of the prospectus contained in Amendment No. 2 certain preliminary estimated financial information of the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2017, which information is attached as Exhibit B to this letter. Because the quarter closing procedures are still in progress, the Company cannot provide final numbers for the estimated results at this time; however, the Company respectfully requests that the Staff review the enclosed disclosure in advance of its inclusion in the Registration Statement. The Company is supplementally providing the information in this letter to the Staff in order to assist the Staff in its review of the Company’s Registration Statement. We confirm on behalf of the Company that, prior to circulating copies of the Preliminary Prospectus in connection with the Offering, the Company will file a pre-effective amendment to the Registration Statement that will include all information, including the information set forth in this letter, other than information that may be excluded in reliance upon Rule 430A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including any such information set forth in this letter. Please direct any questions or comments regarding this letter or the Registration Statement to the undersigned at (212) 906-1281. Thank you for your assistance. Sincerely, /s/ Marc D. Jaffe Marc D.
