Pokemon Funko Pops are surprisingly uncommon, especially considering the franchise's immense popularity. So far, Funko has only released Pops based on Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, and Eevee--all of which are pretty adorable. Funko will practically double the Pokemon Pop lineup on May 2 with four new figures: Mewtwo, Mr. Mime, Pichu, and Vulpix. All four new Pops are available to pre-order now. Check out their designs below.
Mewtwo | $11
Mewtwo is looking fierce.
Mewtwo is the first legendary Pokemon to get its own Funko Pop. The Psychic-type from the original 151 has had a memorable ride as of late. Mewtwo had a critical role in Detective Pikachu and has a title role in the upcoming Netflix animated film Pokemon: Mewtwo Strikes Back--Evolution, which is a remake of the first Pokemon movie. Though the often misunderstood Pokemon still looks serious as a Pop figure, I think Mewtwo also looks cute for the first(?) time.
Pichu's ears are about 20 times the size of its feet.
Before Baby Yoda existed, I would have probably told you Pichu was the cutest fictitious baby creature. This Pichu Pop won't get the baby mouse its crown back, but it's still adorable and would look nice on your shelf next to this joyous Pikachu Pop.
Before I saw Detective Pikachu, I thought Mr. Mime was easily one of the worst Pokemon to ever disgrace this world. However, Mr. Mime's hilarious scene in Detective Pikachu made me much more sympathetic to his plight. He is, in fact, a wonderful creature who tells magical stories without ever saying a word. Sure, he's creepy and no one knows why he exists, but I'm glad he does. Mr. Mime was destined to be an expressive Funko Pop, and soon you can add him to your collection.
Though Vulpix probably isn't as well-known as the other three new Pops, it makes sense that the Fire-type fox would get her own figure. Vulpix is one of the cutest Pokemon in the original 151. However, I can't help but think about the possibility of a much cooler Ninetales Funko Pop in the future.
