Spring 2026 turned into one of the busiest Funko stretches we have seen in years. A brand new blind box format, a couple of anime drops that sell out on sight, and a World Cup wave landing right on time for summer. This guide covers the Funko Pop releases UK collectors should actually care about, what we would pre-order versus wait on, and the buying mistakes we keep watching people make. Written by collectors, for collectors.

1. Funko Pop Mystery Flora: the first blind box Pop line
This is the format news of the year. Funko has never done a sealed blind box Pop line before, and Mystery Flora is the debut. Six plant characters make up the base set: Bamboo, Ivy, Tiger Lily, Snake Plant, Tulip and Monstera. Each is sealed in an unmarked box with a collectible Pop card inside, and rarer pulls sit on top, including a chase Cactus, a limited edition Sunflower and a one of one metallic Snake Plant.
Why it matters: blind box culture is huge right now. Pop Mart and Sonny Angel have run the table for years, and Funko has finally answered. Our take is to buy a case if you want the chase, since singles stack duplicates fast. Funko has not confirmed UK pricing yet, so ignore the made up figures doing the rounds online.
2. Jujutsu Kaisen: Gojo stays the one to watch
Every season throws up one anime Pop that becomes the stock headache of the quarter, and Jujutsu Kaisen's Gojo Satoru is usually it. Glow in the dark Gojo variants tend to sell out within days at UK retailers, then climb on the secondary market through the summer. If a new Gojo lands and you want it at RRP, treat day one as the only reliable window. Waiting a fortnight usually means paying well over the odds.
3. Demon Slayer: the Infinity Castle wave
Demon Slayer is one of the strongest anime licences in the world, and the Infinity Castle film has kept demand sky high. The Funko wave tied to it covers the core cast, with convention and metallic variants drawing the biggest premiums. Pre-order the rarer pieces if you want them anywhere near RRP. Our Demon Slayer range carries the Funko alongside the bigger figure lines if you want to build a proper shelf.
4. FIFA World Cup 2026 England Pops
Timing is everything with sports Pops. Funko's officially licensed World Cup 2026 range includes England players, with Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka and Jude Bellingham leading the wave, plus Pops of the three tournament mascots. With the tournament kicking off on 11 June, these make a clean gift buy for any England fan. Buy at launch if you are a fan, because the football line rarely reprints once a wave sells through.
5. Bluey Pops
Do not underestimate Bluey. It is one of the biggest family properties in the UK, and parents buy the Pops as birthday gifts whether collectors rate them or not. The line keeps expanding with the secondary characters fans have asked for. Buying for your own kid? Pre-order. Hoping to resell to parents at Christmas? Buy cases now, because gift buyers clear shelves the week before any school holiday.
Buyer tips: how to actually win this season
- Pre-order early, pre-order often. UK allocation on convention exclusives is small. Wait for launch day and you are already late.
- Buy the protector at the same time. A couple of quid of hard case protects a fifty quid Pop. The maths is obvious.
- Avoid the marketplaces in week one. Prices peak in the seven days after release. Miss out and you can usually wait a few weeks for them to soften.
- Check the sticker. Convention exclusives only hold value with a clean, straight, unscratched sticker. A damaged one halves the resale.
- Box condition is the collectible. For anything over £30, the box matters as much as the figure. Store it flat, keep it out of direct sun.
FAQ
Q: When do Funko Pop Mystery Flora figures release in the UK?
Funko has set a summer 2026 launch. Exact UK dates depend on retailer allocation, but stock should land through the summer, with pre-order lists opening first at specialist shops.
Q: Are convention exclusive Pops worth buying?
If you get them at RRP, often yes. Convention pieces with a clean sticker have a track record of climbing on the aftermarket, especially for strong licences like Demon Slayer. Pay over the odds at launch and the maths gets shakier.
Q: Will the Jujutsu Kaisen Gojo Pops sell out in the UK?
The popular Gojo variants usually do, the glow in the dark ones fastest. Pre-order is the only reliable route if you want one at RRP rather than chasing it later.
Q: How much is a standard Funko Pop in the UK?
Standard Pops generally sit around £13 to £16 at RRP. Specials, glow in the dark figures and convention exclusives run higher, and sold out pieces climb on resale.
Q: Where can I buy genuine Funko Pops in the UK?
Stick to official UK retailers or well reviewed specialist shops. Check stickers against Funko's own listings, watch for grey market imports, and be wary of prices that sit well below RRP. Our full Funko range is checked before it ships.

These drops will appear on our site as stock lands. If you would rather not track every release yourself, start with one or two Pops you actually love rather than buying for investment. The hobby is a lot more fun that way.
