The Funko and Pokémon partnership has brought us a few iconic ‘mon to collectors in recent months. Pikachu was released last year, Bulbasaur appeared last month, and Charmander will be here soon. Out of these three Pokémon, Pikachu received a supersized surprise, being available as a 10” Pop at Target during the holiday shopping season.
Funko’s CEO has teased in an interview that we’ll see “a couple of big ones along the way.” Thanks to popkeep on social media, it appears this will be true when it comes to Bulbasaur. Tweeting out a picture of how this 10” Bulbasaur shows up in Target’s stock system, popkeep also made a mockup of their own to show how big the No.001 Pokémon will be.

Not convinced? Checking out the DPCI code on Brickseek produces results that line up with the image in popkeep’s tweet. We have no official word from Funko or the Pokémon Company yet, but we’ll report back once information is released!
Until then, here’s hoping that for $29.99, Bulbasaur’s 10” Pop version will be available in Target stores and/or online starting May 11th.
