New York Comic-Con is right around the corner and forFunko Pop!fans that means one thing. New figures are coming. Starting on October 12,Funkohas offered up a first look at a few of the special edition Pops that will be on sale during NYCC weekend. A Monkey D. Luffy wanted poster Pop!, and a Dark Magician GirlYu-Gi-Ohfigure. Don’t despair if you won’t be attending NYCC either as both Pops should be available to buy online.
If you are going to be at NYCC between October 12 and October 15, I’m assuming it’ll be an ‘until stocks last’ situation so if you want either of these Pops, you’ll want to swing by the Funko booth at your earliest available opportunity. As for buying the figures online, both figures will likely go on sale throughthe Funko storesometime on October 12. The listings will likely go up pretty early in the morning, and stock will sell fast, so you’ll need to be quick.

This may well annoy long-timeOne Piecefans, but odds are the Luffy Pop! is going to be more popular than any other Funko from the series to have come before it. The first Luffy Pop! released since One Piece’s adaptation hitNetflix, I’m assuming a lot more people are going to have their eye on it than would have if it had gone on sale this time last year. It features the protagonist standing in front of his own wanted poster, similar in design to the video game and VHS cover Pops Funko makes.
While Yu-Gi-Oh hasn’t had a similarly significant event in its own timeline, I still wouldn’t dawdle if you’re keen to add its new Pop! to your collection. The series is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, so there may well be quite a bit of Yu-Gi-Oh stuff to mark the occasion at this year’s NYCC.Its 25th-anniversary Dueling Heroes tinis available right now if the urge to buy something to celebrate Yu-Gi-Oh’s birthday simply can’t wait until October 12.
Funko clearly knew there’d be high demand for One Piece stuff after its adaptation dropped on Netflix as the NYCC Luffy Pop! isone of many figures from the manga to be revealed this month. Another nine were shown off last week, headlined by Chopperemon. Chopperemon’s new Pop! and a few more will be released on October 22, while the other five will become available throughout November.
