Based on the Japanese mega-franchise, Pokémon has spawned countless cards, video games and toys. Plus, we can't forget about the massive Pokémon Go app. Nevertheless, it took a while for the brand to join the Funko vinyl ranks.
Initially met with skepticism given the unexpected release, the Funko Pop Pokemon figure for Pikachu started arriving before the official announcement from Funko. Funko soon confirmed the launch of the line and collectors rejoiced.
The lovable Pikachu helps kick off the Pokémon set as an exclusive figure found at Target locations. Pokemon.com revealed a larger version of Pikachu, as well. The 10-inch edition came as part of the Funko Friday release at Target for the holiday season.
Next came Bulbasaur in early 2019, which is the first Funko Pop Pokemon figure that is not an exclusive release. In addition, Funko promised new figures "every season."
The official Pokemon website also announced new figures via "A Day with Pikachu," which starts on February 13, 2019. The 12 figures will be issued monthly across 2019 and 2020. These do not appear to be Pop! figures, though.
