Funko Gets Guinness World Record for Largest Mosaic in Dubai

Funko has made it big as they get they make their own Guinness World Record. In Dubai last week, the world's largest mosaic creation was done at the world-famous Mall of Emirates. The mosaic captured Dubai's beloved mascot Modesh within 16 hours only after 4 days of prep time. The biggest feature that Funko did was that 8,600 Pops were used to create this World Record masterpiece. The ending size of the world's largest mosaic is 157.7 m² and that broke the previous record giving Funko the new record holding title. Funko is popular all over the world and this just shows it and the time and effort put into this amazing creation is a feature on its own. I wonder how long it will take for Funko to bring the Dubai mascot to Pop form and include a cool Guinness World Record style sticker for the event. Check out all the info below along with pictures of the event and mosaic.

"Funko, the global pop culture purveyors, added to the Summer activities at Dubai's world-famous Mall of the Emirates last week by breaking the Guinness World Records™ for the world's largest mosaic creation. Using an incredible 8,600 Pop! Vinyl figures to create the largest packaged product mosaic, in honour of Modesh, Dubai's well-loved mascot, and all within 16 hours – the record was officially bestowed on Sunday 16 August, following four days of build-up, and an amped up crowd. The final creation measures an impressive 157.7 m²."

Danny Hickson, Official Adjudicator from Guinness World Records™ said, "This is another proud moment for the UAE to add a new title to its wide collection of world records. Thousands of Pop! Vinyl products were used to celebrate Funko collectors around the world and what better way than with a Guinness World Records title."

Shaddy Gaad, Senior Marketing Manager, Guinness World Records™ added, "We congratulate Funko, Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Summer Surprises on their achievement." Motasem Ahmed, Co-Founder of Monkey Distribution (Funko distributor in the Middle East) expressed, "What a way to end the Summer than by breaking a world record! We hope everyone loves Modesh's mosaic as much as we loved creating it!"
