::::: I don't think they're really all too similar. Those games have a specific character or group going through a series of potential events, including ''Doctor Who'' ones, while ''FP!B'' is... barely even a fictional narrative honestly; it's been a fair bit since I've played it but it's much closer to something like ''[[Fortnite]]'' in my opinion, as I said earlier.

:::::: As Cookieboy says, the ''[[TV Comic]]'' games are not really comparable to ''Funko Pop'' in my view. Something like ''[[Basil Brush goes Rent Collecting (game)|Basil Brush goes Rent Collecting]]'' has a story behind it and places the crossovery characters within that framing. If [[Mighty Moth]] or [[Popeye (character)|Popeye]] decided to follow the path to [[King Arthur]]'s castle they would encounter [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] on their journey, for example. On the other hand, my limited playtime with ''Funko Pop'' gave me no suggestion that the different IPs were on the same plane of existence, no indication they could truly "cross over" with one another. | |||
:::::: It's why I said earlier I didn't think it even constituted a [[crossover]] of the sort that [[Talk:Vienna (series)]] speaks of. To phrase it another way, I don't believe ''Funko Pop! Blitz'' is a source you could cite in-universe events to. It deserves a page for licensed use of visual ''[[Doctor Who]]'' elements but it's much more similar from a ''Who'' perspective to a piece of merchandise than most of its (video game) brothers and sisters. ''[[Monopoly: Doctor Who Collector's Edition]]'' or ''[[Top Trumps: Doctor Who (video game)|Top Trumps: Doctor Who]]'' is a more apt comparison versus games like ''[[Legacy (video game)|Legacy]]'' or ''[[Infinity (video game)|Infinity]]''.
