There are roughly 900 Pokémon in existence — an impressive number built up over a quarter-century of development, merchandising, and game design. Meanwhile in half that time there have been approximately five zillion types Funko Pops made. (Okay, the actual estimate is like, 20,000ish, but that frankly passed being a reasonable number a long, long time ago.) So it’s perhaps little surprise that a handful of new Pokémon Funko Pops are being released in Wave 9 — Alakazam, Lucario and Sylveon.
Numbered 855, 856, and 857 respectively (wayyyyy off from their Pokédex numbers, like c’mon guys), they cost the typical $11.99 a Pop at Entertainment Earth. Alakazam and Lucario will release in April, while Sylveon will release in June (right in time for Pride Month! … I guess). At this point your opinion of Funko Pops is probably pretty set, so whether you buy these or not, keep having fun with Pokémon Legends: Arceus, catch ‘em all, you know the drill.
