Anime Funko Pops have gone from a niche corner of the hobby to arguably its fastest-growing segment. With Funko expanding its Japanese anime licences every quarter, 2026 is the year to build your anime Pop collection — whether you’re into classic shonen, modern dark fantasy, or slice-of-life favourites.
The Hottest Anime Funko Pop Lines Right Now
Jujutsu Kaisen
The Jujutsu Kaisen Funko line has been on fire since Season 2 aired. Key figures include Gojo Satoru (both masked and unmasked variants), Nobara Kugisaki with her hammer, and the menacing Ryomen Sukuna. The Gojo chase variant with his Hollow Purple technique is already commanding premium prices.
One Piece
With the live-action Netflix series driving mainstream interest, One Piece Pops are more popular than ever. The new snow globe line featuring Luffy, Nami, Sanji, and Zoro is a collector’s dream — combining the classic Pop format with an innovative display piece. Gear 5 Luffy remains one of the most sought-after anime Pops of the decade.
Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War
The return of Bleach has reignited demand for the entire line. New Thousand-Year Blood War figures capture the series’ evolved character designs, and older Bleach Pops that were once shelf-warmers are suddenly appreciating in value. If you can find early Ichigo or Rukia Pops at retail, grab them.
Chainsaw Man
The Chainsaw Man “Pop Readers” Denji represents Funko’s willingness to experiment with the anime licence. This new format has been divisive among collectors but is selling out fast, suggesting strong long-term collectibility.
Why Anime Pops Hold Their Value
Anime Funko Pops tend to appreciate better than most other lines because the fanbase is globally passionate, production runs are often smaller than mainstream franchises, and new anime seasons create recurring demand spikes. The vaulting of popular anime Pops almost always leads to significant price increases within 6-12 months.
