Funko always brings the heat at San Diego Comic-Con, and 2025 is no exception. Whether you’re a casual fan or a die-hard collector, here’s everything you need to know to plan your hit list for Booth #5341.
What Makes a Funko Exclusive Special?
Funko’s SDCC exclusives are typically limited-edition Pop! vinyl figures, accessories, and themed bundles, often debuting at the con with unique packaging, chase variations or nostalgic twists. Each item features new authentication packaging, complete with secure micro-optic stickers verified by Octane5—keeping fakes out and collectors confident.
Funko goes beyond standard releases with “chase variants”—rare, often glittery or color-swapped versions—randomly distributed in packs, adding a thrilling lottery aspect to each purchase .
