The animation kick continues over at Funko with a wave inspired by The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius.

Funko has a certain boy genius in their sights for the next wave of Pop! figures based on a nostalgic animated TV series. That’s right, Funko has launched Pops inspired by the beloved CG-animated series, The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius!
After tackling The Fairly OddParents recently, it was clearly time for Funko to take on Timmy’s multi-verse companion. The new drop includes the three main best friends of the show; Jimmy Neutron and his jetpack (#1903), Carl Wheezer (#1904), and Sheen Estevez (#1902). Look for these Funko Pops to go up for pre-order today, March 19th at 12pm ET here on Amazon and here at Entertainment Earth.
As noted, Funko has been on a nostalgic cartoon kick lately. They’ve released a wave based on the iconic Batman: The Animated Series, Ed, Edd n’ Eddy and The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy on Cartoon Network as well as the aforementioned The Fairly OddParents, along with Winx Club on Nickelodeon. Fans certainly aren't complaining. The recent drops have shed a light on Funko’s ability to handle some odd character designs as well, ones that might not fit perfectly into the Funko Pop! mold. The Cosmo & Wanda as Goldfish Pop! Moment is one of the most fun and inventive items that Funko has released in a long time, combining the design of the cartoon with the Funko way. Maybe we'll see Jimmy's faithful robot dog, Goddard, as a Funko Pop! figure one day. Click here to see the entire The Fairly OddParents collection.

The Ned's Declassified Podcast Survival Guide podcast is back after going on a short break.
Lindsey Shaw / Threads
After taking a brief break, the hit Ned's Declassified Podcast Survival Guide podcast is set to return for a brand new season on Wednesday, March 26, with new episodes set to be released every Wednesday!
Captioning a new trailer on YouTube, the Ned's Declassified Podcast Survival Guide said: "[t]he wait is over, Ned Heads! We’re back, we’re independent, and we’re bringing you the most exciting season yet! 🎉 This time, it’s all on OUR terms, and we’re taking things to a whole new level.
"Expect more laughs, more nostalgia, more unfiltered convos, and epic guests—dropping EVERY WEDNESDAY on YouTube! Plus, we’ve got exclusive content and behind-the-scenes access over on our new Patreon!"
Launched by PodCo in February 2023, each episode of the Ned's Declassified Podcast Survival Guide invites listeners to join Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide stars Devon Werkheiser (Ned), Daniel Curtis Lee (Cookie) and Lindsey Shaw (Moze) as they rewatch their hilarious adventures on the series, share their own ups and downs from middle school to adulthood, and chat with special guests throughout the podcast.
However, back in November, the gang revealed that Ned's Pod would be going on a short hiatus following some big changes behind-the-scenes.
In a video uploaded to the official Ned's Pod YouTube channel, Devon, Daniel and Lindsey have revealed that they have now separated from PodCo, and will now be managing the podcast themselves.
During the video, they explained that as they themselves didn't know what the future of the podcast would look like, they would be taking a short break to figure things out, promising listeners that they'd be back soon, with the video's description saying "2025". The gang also take the opportunity to thank viewers for tuning in each week.
At the very end of the video, the guys tease some "exciting" news, with Devon going on to explain that when they first started the podcast, they hoped that it would lead to a reboot of Ned's Declassified School Survivor Guide, however, Devon was cut off by a testcard before he could get the full word out. Whilst it's not confirmed that Devon was going to "reboot", Devon has hinted in the past that he would like to revive the series with Ned's Declassified Adult Survival Guide, following the gang as adults.
