Tina Louise is upset about Funko Pop’s Ginger Grant figure!

From her Facebook page:

“Hello friends! I have stayed silent on this issue but I do want to address it as I have now autographed over 75 of these boxes (and I know you all wouldn’t be sending them to me if you didn’t believe they were supposed to be me.) Unfortunately, I was never brought into the conversation when these toys were being created. And as someone who has never received a single residual check for Gilligan’s Island in all these years of it continuously running, I would have hoped that Warner Brothers would have considered me when they were licensing the rights to my likeness on these dolls. Sadly, they did not. Even though the doll has my red hair and my beauty mark in the same exact spot on her face, they believe the doll is made after the "character." So I am, once again, not being paid for the use of my likeness and not even getting a licensing fee. I never want to disappoint you all so I have been signing them anyway when they come to me, but I'd really like to hear YOUR thoughts on the matter. With love, Tina

p.s. For the record, many years ago when Ted Turner ran Warner Brothers, they used the Ginger character in a Diners Club ad and I was paid what I deserved for that so they do not own my likeness.”
