The 2026 edition of Toy Fair New York is just about to open its doors, but Funko couldn't wait another day. They've unleashed a flood of Pop! figure announcements that have collectors buzzing. Isn't it always exciting when a company decides to tease the goods a little early? This batch is particularly stacked, bringing together the worlds of Pokémon, Marvel's Avengers, Fortnite, and even a cult indie horror gem. Let's dive into what fans can expect to see on shelves soon.
Pokémon gets even bigger
Earlier this month, Funko already confirmed a wave of pocket monsters, but now the lineup is expanding in delightful ways. Joining the party are Growlithe, Cubone, Rattata, and the hilariously grumpy angry Pikachu. Each one captures that classic vinyl charm – Cubone cradles its bone club with a lonely gaze, while Rattata’s oversized ears and tiny body make it an instant desk buddy. But the real showstopper is the supersized ten-inch Mewtwo. Standing at roughly double the height of a standard Pop!, this psychic legend is a Target exclusive that will undoubtedly become a centerpiece for any Pokémon display. Imagine a ten-inch Mewtwo looming over your current collection. How can anyone resist that?
Marvel’s Avengers assemble — again
Square Enix’s Marvel’s Avengers may have faced delays back when it launched, but Funko is clearly ready to suit up the team. This wave is packed with heavy hitters: Hulk, Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, Taskmaster, Ms. Marvel, and Black Widow all get the Pop! treatment. And it doesn’t stop there. Some figures come with glowing variants that give them an extra shimmer when the lights go out – perfect for recreating cosmic energy or arc reactor glow. Could a glow-in-the-dark Hulk be the crown jewel of this set? The variety here is impressive, giving fans the chance to build a full roster right out of the box. It’s almost enough to make you forget the game’s rocky launch and just enjoy the iconic designs.
Fortnite skins jump into the real world
Fortnite collaborations keep popping up everywhere, and Funko is never far behind. This wave pulls directly from the game’s locker, with skins like Galaxy, 8-Ball, Blackheart, and a few more mystery additions. Galaxy, with its swirling nebula paint job, looks especially striking in vinyl form – it’s the kind of piece that demands a spot on a top shelf. 8-Ball’s monochrome menace and Blackheart’s demonic details bring plenty of attitude. Considering how quickly Fortnite skins go in and out of fashion, will these Pop!s become tomorrow’s grails? Early buzz suggests collectors are already locking in pre-orders.
A surprise from the indie corner: Sally Face
In a move that surprised many, Funko is giving Sally Face her own collectible. For those who need a refresher, Sally Face is the 2016 indie horror game that built a passionate following with its eerie storytelling and hand-drawn aesthetic. Creator Steve Gabry has hinted that even more Sally Face merchandise is on the way, making this Pop! a promising sign for fans who’ve been waiting years for additional physical love. A creepy mask, blue pigtails, and a prosthetic face – this figure is bound to stand out among the usual superheroes. Could a whole line of Sally Face characters follow? One can certainly hope.
What’s next?
Funko has promised more reveals as Toy Fair continues, so this list is far from final. With the convention kicking into high gear, there could be even larger figures, chase variants, or entirely new licenses popping up. Fans should keep their eyes locked on social channels and retailer listings – exclusives tend to disappear fast. Whether you’re chasing a glowing Ms. Marvel or a ten-inch Mewtwo, the second quarter of 2026 is shaping up to be an expensive but thrilling time for Pop! lovers everywhere.
Data referenced from Game Developer (Gamasutra) helps frame why Funko’s Toy Fair timing makes sense: when licenses like Pokémon, Marvel’s Avengers, and Fortnite keep cycling through new character drops and seasonal variants, collectibles often function as durable “snapshots” of a moment in a game’s lifecycle—whether it’s a standout skin like Fortnite’s Galaxy, a nostalgia anchor like Cubone, or a marquee exclusive like a 10-inch Mewtwo designed to dominate shelf presence and retailer demand.
