After complaining she wouldn’t be getting her own Funko Pop figure like her ‘New Girl’ castmates, Canadian actress Hannah Simone has prevailed.
“We've heard from our fans, we've heard from Hannah, and we're listening - CeCe will be added to the New Girl line-up later this year. We're sorry for making you wait, but CeCe is coming,” wrote the company on Twitter.

Fans had an uproar on social media, and Simone continued her campaign for a Funko doll, with the company finally chiming in on April 2.
“We're sorry, Hannah. We wanted to let you know that we're going to fix this, and CeCe will definitely be added to the New Girl line-up later this year.”
And it's completely fair. We're sorry, Hannah. We wanted to let you know that we're going to fix this, and CeCe will definitely be added to the New Girl line-up later this year.
