FFunko designs and sells licensed pop culture collectibles across vinyl figures (notably Pop! Vinyl), plush, apparel, board games, and more. It secures licenses from major entertainment companies and sells products through wholesale retailers and its own online store, often releasing limited editions to boost demand. Its competitive edge comes from a large catalog of licenses (over 900 active licenses from 250+ providers) and a recognizable product line, plus an ecosystem that includes Loungefly, Mondo, and Digital Pop! NFTs. Its goal is to turn pop culture moments into broadly available physical and digital collectibles to grow revenue through licensing, exclusives, and brand partnerships.

Funko, Loungefly & Mondo bring an epic lineup of NYCC 2026 exclusives. New York Comic Con is almost here, and collectors are about to have a LOT to be excited about! Funko, Loungefly, and Mondo are heading back to NYCC 2026 with an impressive lineup of convention exclusives featuring some of the biggest names in pop culture. Whether your collection leans toward superheroes, Marvel icons, adorable Sanrio characters, or terrifying xenomorphs, there's a good chance you'll want to make some room on those shelves. Among the featured franchises this year are DC, Marvel, Sanrio, and Alien, with Funko, Loungefly, and Mondo bringing plenty of exclusive collectibles to the convention floor. DC fans, get ready for a daily surprise. DC collectors are going to have an especially exciting NYCC. Throughout New York Comic Con, Funko will release a different DC Comics: Lantern NYCC exclusive variant each day, with the variants available in limited quantities. That means there's a new collectible to hunt down every day of the convention! Alongside the daily variants, collectors can also grab the POP! Legendary LE: DC Comics - Green Lantern, which will be available every day at the Funko booth as well as online at Funko.com. And here's the important part for collectors who love true convention exclusives: select variants will only be available at the Funko booth during NYCC and will not be sold online. So, yes, the hunt is officially on! Marvel and Sanrio join the fun. Marvel fans will also find NYCC exclusives waiting at the Funko booth, while Loungefly is bringing some adorable - and highly collectible - Sanrio exclusives to the show. Because apparently a trip to Comic Con isn't complete until your collection gets at least a little bit cuter. Something's Waiting in the Dark... For fans of sci-fi horror, Loungefly and Mondo are teaming up for Alien-themed NYCC exclusives. The collaboration is a particularly exciting one for collectors who love the iconic Alien franchise, combining Loungefly's collectible style with Mondo's distinctive approach to pop-culture merchandise. And if you know anything about Alien, you already know that whatever you bring home may be considerably less terrifying than what was lurking aboard the Nostromo. Want these exclusives? Pay attention to the dates! Of course, the biggest question for collectors is: How do I actually get these NYCC exclusives? Funko is once again using its credit card pre-authorization process for convention exclusives. Pre-authorization drawing entries begin Monday, October 5, 2026, giving collectors the opportunity to enter for the chance to purchase the items they've selected. The entry window closes on Wednesday, October 7, after which randomly selected winners will be notified. If selected, their credit cards will automatically be charged for the NYCC exclusive items they pre-authorized for purchase. And if you don't get selected in the drawing, don't give up just yet! Any remaining inventory from the NYCC exclusive lineup will be added to Funko.com and Loungefly.com on the morning of Thursday, October 8, 2026, following the pre-authorization purchase drawings. Naturally, with highly anticipated convention exclusives involved, items could disappear quickly - so collectors will want to be ready to shop! With DC, Marvel, Sanrio, and Alien all represented across Funko, Loungefly, and Mondo, NYCC 2026 is shaping up to be another seriously exciting convention for collectors. Now the only question is: How much room do you have left on your shelves? Be sure to check Funko's official blog for the full details on the pre-authorization process and NYCC exclusive purchasing information.
Josh Simon, CEO of pop-culture collectibles brand Funko, credits his early career boldness for helping shape his success. As Disney's most junior employee in the early 2000s, Simon rewrote an op-ed by then-CEO Michael Eisner, establishing a lasting relationship with the executive. Simon later worked at Nike and Netflix before joining Funko in September 2024. The company had faced declining sales, excess inventory, and debt concerns. Under his leadership, Funko's recent earnings showed net sales up 7% year over year, with net income of $15.4 million compared to a $40.5 million loss previously. The company's stock has risen over 35% in the past year. Simon advises young workers to excel at their current roles first. "I feel like you're most valuable early on if you just focus on what your job is, and you do incredibly well," he said.
Funko Inc is attempting a turnaround after reporting a $67.4 million loss on sales of $908.2 million in 2024, down 13% year-over-year. The Everett, Washington-based company disclosed debts of $225 million and warned investors of "substantial doubt" about its ability to meet debt payments. Josh Simon, previously Netflix's global consumer products head, became chief executive in September 2025. He's the third CEO in two years. Simon cited tariffs in China, where most toys are manufactured, cancelled retail orders and loan covenant breaches as challenges. The maker of 4-inch vinyl Pop figurines has struggled after overestimating demand and producing too many dolls. Funko, which went public in 2017, generates most revenue from licensed characters sold through retailers and at events.
Funko reveal Marauder's Map wave, including first James Potter Pop! Funko have unveiled four new Harry Potter Pop! Vinyl figures, one based on each of the four Marauders. Sirius Black (Padfoot), Remus Lupin (Moony) and Peter Pettigrew (Wormtail) are no strangers to the 'Potter' Funko line, however this is the first James Potter (Prongs) Pop! figure since the line launched in 2015. Each figure is standing on a baseplate adorned with Marauder's Map decoration. Alongside the four Marauder figures, Funko also unveiled a 10-inch 'Jumbo' figure of Harry Potter with the Nimbus 2000 broom and a Golden Snitch. It's a very similar figure to the one released in 2015, albeit more than twice the height. It's been a big year (as always) for the 'Potter' Funko lineup, with figures such as Fenrir Greyback and a rare limited edition Lupin-as-wolf figure joining the collection. You can purchase any of the new figures below, or learn more about the current Funko Harry Potter lineup in its detailed collector guide.
