BioShock Is Back on Collectors' Shelves — and It Was Worth the Wait
If you spent hours wandering the corridors of Rapture back in the day, this one's for you. After more than a decade with zero new releases, Funko has finally returned to the underwater dystopia with a fresh wave of BioShock Pop! Vinyl figures. The original 2015 wave — featuring Booker DeWitt, Elizabeth, Songbird, and the Big Daddy — became a grail set for gaming collectors almost overnight. Now, with three new characters joining the lineup in 2026, BioShock fans in the UK have a rare second chance to build out their Rapture shelf without paying aftermarket prices.
This guide covers every figure in the new wave, where to pre-order in the UK, how the new Pops compare to the originals, and what this release means for BioShock collectors going forward.

What's in the New BioShock Funko Pop 2026 Wave?
Funko's 2026 BioShock wave brings three characters to Pop! Vinyl form for the very first time. Each figure draws from the original BioShock game, which means Rapture-era designs, Art Deco detailing, and some genuinely iconic character choices. Here's the full breakdown.
1. Little Sister with Syringe — Pop! Games
The Little Sister is arguably the most recognisable character from the BioShock universe beyond the Big Daddy himself. This figure captures her in her classic Rapture outfit — tattered dress, glowing yellow eyes, and the oversized ADAM-harvesting syringe clutched in both hands. The level of detail on the syringe and the eerie glow effect on the eyes make this one of the standout gaming Pops of 2026 so far. For collectors who display by franchise, she pairs perfectly with the original Big Daddy figure from 2015.
2. Sander Cohen — Pop! Games
This is the deep cut that has hardcore BioShock fans buzzing. Sander Cohen — Rapture's unhinged artist, playwright, and all-round menace — finally gets the Pop! treatment. The figure features his distinctive bunny mask perched on his head, his theatrical suit, and that unsettling expression that anyone who survived Fort Frolic will remember vividly. Cohen is one of the most memorable antagonists in gaming history, and his inclusion signals that Funko is listening to what the collector community actually wants rather than playing it safe with obvious picks.
3. Bouncer Big Daddy — Pop! Games (6-Inch Super-Sized)
Yes, there was already a Big Daddy in the 2015 wave. But this new Bouncer variant is a different beast entirely. The 2026 version is a 6-inch super-sized figure featuring the Bouncer model — drill arm extended, diving suit rendered in weathered bronze and green tones, and the porthole visor glowing yellow. Where the 2015 release was a more static pose, this version captures the Bouncer mid-charge. If you missed the original Big Daddy (which now commands anywhere from £80 to £150 on the secondary market), this is your chance to get a premium alternative at retail price.
How the 2026 Wave Compares to the Original 2015 BioShock Funko Pops
The original 2015 BioShock Funko Pop wave included four figures: Booker DeWitt, Elizabeth, Songbird (6-inch), and Big Daddy (6-inch). That wave was produced during a period when gaming Pops were still finding their audience, which means production numbers were relatively low compared to today's runs. The result? All four original figures have appreciated significantly on the secondary market.
| Original 2015 Figure | Original RRP | Current Aftermarket Value (2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Booker DeWitt (#62) | £9.99 | £35–£55 |
| Elizabeth (#63) | £9.99 | £40–£65 |
| Songbird (#68, 6-inch) | £14.99 | £60–£90 |
| Big Daddy (#65, 6-inch) | £14.99 | £80–£150 |
The original Big Daddy is the standout performer, with mint-condition boxed examples regularly selling above £100. Elizabeth is the second most sought-after, partly because BioShock Infinite built a massive fanbase and her figure captured the character's likeness particularly well for a Pop! of that era.
What does this mean for the 2026 wave? It suggests that BioShock Pops hold their value better than most gaming lines. The franchise has enduring cultural relevance, a passionate fanbase, and — critically for collectors — Funko doesn't revisit it often. When a line only gets new releases once a decade, scarcity works in your favour.
Why BioShock Funko Pops Are Worth Collecting in 2026
Beyond the obvious appeal of the characters themselves, there are several reasons this wave stands out for serious collectors.
Decade-long gap between waves
Funko releases new Marvel, Star Wars, and anime Pops almost weekly. BioShock? Once in eleven years. That rarity factor is a genuine differentiator when it comes to long-term value. Collectors know that lines with fewer releases tend to appreciate more reliably than oversaturated franchises.
Gaming Pops are trending upward
The gaming Pop! category has grown significantly since 2023, with franchises like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and Baldur's Gate all seeing strong collector demand. BioShock fits squarely into the "prestige gaming" bracket that collectors gravitate toward — narrative-driven, visually distinctive, and culturally significant.
BioShock 4 is still on the horizon
2K Games and Cloud Chamber Studios have confirmed that a new BioShock game is in development. While no release date has been confirmed, the ongoing development keeps the franchise in the conversation. Historically, new game releases drive a spike in demand for related collectibles — so getting in before an announcement could be a savvy move.
The Sander Cohen figure fills a genuine gap
Cohen is the kind of character that collectors and fans have been requesting for years. His inclusion in this wave suggests Funko may continue exploring deeper cuts from the BioShock universe in future releases. If this wave sells well, don't be surprised to see figures like Andrew Ryan, Atlas, or a Splicer variant down the line.

Final Thoughts
The return of BioShock to the Funko Pop lineup is one of the most exciting gaming collectible drops of 2026. After eleven years without a single new release, the introduction of the Little Sister, Sander Cohen, and Bouncer Big Daddy gives collectors three genuinely desirable figures from one of gaming's most beloved franchises. The track record of the 2015 originals — all of which have appreciated significantly — suggests this wave is worth picking up sooner rather than later. Whether you're a BioShock diehard or a Pop! collector looking for something with real long-term potential, this is a wave to watch closely.
