Funko Inc. is an American toy company that focuses on making stylized pop culture vinyl figures. It has released Godzilla figures as part of its Pop!, Hikari, and SciFi Mystery Mini lines, along with Pops! of King Kong from Kong: Skull Island and several characters from the Ultra Series. Most notably, it produced a wide range of figures for Godzilla vs. Kong. As of 2022, Funko is the parent company of Mondo, which has produced a wide array of Godzilla merchandise itself.

Pop!

Godzilla #239

A 6" Godzilla Funko Pop! figure was revealed in late August of 2015. The common green version was released in November.[1] Funko also produced five variants: "Original B&W" and "Ghost Glow", both Toy Tokyo exclusives sold at the New York Comic-Con from October 8-11, 2015; "Burning Godzilla", a GTS Distribution exclusive; "Atomic Breath", a glow-in-the-dark PX Previews exclusive; and a Books-a-Million exclusive with gray skin, white eyes, and purple dorsal fins.

King Kong #338

A King Kong Funko Pop! figure based on his appearance in Kong: Skull Island was revealed on November 30, 2016 and released in January 2017.[2] This was the first product to include the Monsterverse logo on its packaging. The figure's box initially labeled it as "King Kong", unusual for this incarnation of the character; this was later changed to only say "Kong".

Godzilla vs. Kong

Funko revealed 10" Pop! figures of Godzilla and King Kong on January 19, 2021, the first day of Funko Fest. Pre-orders for these two figures, along with Walmart-exclusive variants and smaller figures, began on January 27, with Walmart planning to ship them at the end of February. A low-resolution packaging image of Mechagodzilla leaked online the following day, followed by photos of the actual figure in early March before it was eventually released. On November 3, 2022, Funko revealed an FYE-exclusive Pop! figure of Burning Godzilla; though this form only appeared in Godzilla: King of the Monsters, the figure is being sold as part of the Godzilla vs. Kong line. On December 15, 2022, Entertainment Earth announced that it would be exclusively selling two 4.25" scale Pop! figures which glow when placed under a black light. These figures, a variant of the standard 4.25" Godzilla and a figure of Mothra from Godzilla: King of the Monsters, released in March of 2023.

Trivia

  • On the box art for every Funko Pop! Godzilla figure (including the exclusive variants), Godzilla's dorsal fins are shown to extend into his forehead area; however, this detail is missing from the actual figures, with the fins actually stopping near the top of Godzilla's head.
  • The Sleeping Godzilla with Minilla Funko Pop! is numbered #1954 as a reference to the release year of the first Godzilla movie.
