San Diego Comic-Con is here. The biggest week on the pop-culture calendar runs July 22–26, 2026 at the San Diego Convention Center, and for Funko collectors that means one thing above all: the SDCC exclusives. Every year a wave of convention-only and shared exclusive Pops drops from Funko's booth (#5341 this year), and every year they're some of the most chased figures of the whole season. Here's what's been revealed, and — more importantly — exactly how you get one, whether you're on the show floor or refreshing a browser tab from home.
See Every 2026 SDCC Reveal in One Place
Reveals roll out across the whole week, so the single best way to keep up is our live 2026 SDCC Reveals checklist. We add each exclusive as it's announced, so you can see the full current line-up at a glance and tick off the ones you already own. Bookmark it and check back — by Sunday it's the complete picture of the con.
The Exclusives Everyone's Talking About
This year's slate is stacked, spanning both comic heavyweights and video-game favourites. Among the standouts revealed so far:
- Star Wars — Darth Maul (Kyber Crystal), Funko's headline “Supreme” convention piece.
- Absolute Batman from DC's red-hot new comic line.
- One Piece — always one of the fiercest scrambles on the floor.
- Invincible, riding the show's momentum.
- Persona 5 Royal, Baldur's Gate, Street Fighter and Masters of the Universe for the gamers and the retro crowd.
Several pieces are limited to as few as 100 units — genuine grail territory. New reveals keep landing through the weekend, so treat any list (including this one) as a snapshot; the always-current run is in our SDCC Reveals checklist.
How to Actually Get an SDCC Funko — In Person
If you're lucky enough to be at the con, everything runs through Funko's booth #5341. There are three ways in:
- Exclusives Portal time-slots. Badge holders registered through the official SDCC Exclusives Portal (registration ran July 7–16). Winners are chosen at random and given a secured time slot to shop the booth — this is the main, orderly route to the hottest pieces.
- Walk-ups. After the final daily time-slot session wraps, the booth opens to walk-ups — first-come, first-served, subject to whatever's left. Lines form early.
- The POP! Mystery activity. Funko's daily mystery game runs a virtual queue that launches at 9 AM each day of the con. You'll need a buddy to take part, there are daily participation limits, and a waiver to sign — but it's a fan-favourite way to walk away with something you didn't expect.
How to Get One Online — No Badge Needed
Can't make it to San Diego? A good chunk of the line-up is available to everyone through Funko.com, and you don't need a con badge:
- Pre-authorization drawing. Entries opened Monday, July 20, with the drawing window closing before July 24. Fan Rewards members get an extra entry — worth signing up for if you haven't.
- The July 24 drop. Any remaining inventory posts on the morning of July 24, sold first-come, first-served while supplies last. Have your account, address and payment ready before it goes live — the good stuff moves in seconds.
- Select retail partners. Many SDCC Pops are “shared” exclusives, so participating retailers carry them around the same window. It pays to have more than one tab open.
“Shared” vs “Convention-Only” — Why It Matters for Price
Not all SDCC exclusives are equally hard to get, and that difference drives resale value. Shared exclusives reach Funko.com and retail partners, so supply is wider and prices stay more sensible. Convention-only pieces — available solely through the booth and portal — are the scarcest, and they command the steepest premiums the moment the con ends. Either way, the giveaway is the box: an SDCC exclusive wears a convention sticker, and with exclusives the sticker is often the value itself. Our sticker guide decodes exactly what each one means.
Buying on the Secondary Market Without Overpaying
Most collectors will miss at least one figure they wanted and end up buying it resale — that's normal. Just do it with eyes open. The golden rule: pay off real sold prices, not hopeful asking prices. Anyone can list an SDCC common for silly money; what matters is what buyers have actually paid. Look up any figure in our catalogue and read the sold history — our value guide walks through the whole method. Two more things worth knowing before you spend: high-value convention grails attract counterfeits, so read our guide to spotting fakes first; and some SDCC exclusives are chase-style variants, where the chase guide helps you understand what you're really paying for.
SDCC only comes around once a year and the reveals drop fast, so keep our 2026 SDCC Reveals checklist open to catch everything as it lands, check the catalogue for real sold prices before you buy, and follow the news hub for the rest of the season.
