May 2026 is shaping up to be one of the biggest months for Funko Pop collectors this year. Whether you’re hunting for anime grails, Disney classics, or limited-edition retailer exclusives, there’s something dropping almost every week. Here’s your complete guide to every major Funko Pop release this month.
Funko.com Limited Edition Drops
Funko’s own website continues to be ground zero for some of the most sought-after limited editions. This month’s highlights include the Nickelodeon Tommy as Reptar Pop! (dropping May 12th) which comes with a Pop! Protector — a nice touch for in-box collectors. Later in the month, the Fallout NCR Power Armor drops on May 22nd, which is already generating serious buzz in the gaming community.
Retailer Exclusive Funko Pops — May 2026
The real heat this month comes from the retailer exclusives, many of which are limited to under 10,000 pieces worldwide:
- May 13th — Star Wars (Walmart Exclusive): Limited to just 9,500 pieces. Star Wars Pops with low production runs have historically exploded in value on the secondary market.
- May 20th — Toy Story (Amazon Exclusive): Another 9,500-piece run. Disney and Pixar Pops remain some of the most collected lines in the hobby.
- May 27th — Pirates of the Caribbean (Entertainment Earth Exclusive): This one’s limited to just 3,500 pieces — making it the rarest drop of the month by far.
Anime Funko Pops Stealing the Show
Anime continues to dominate the Funko Pop landscape. New Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War figures are arriving at retailers, alongside the innovative Chainsaw Man “Pop Readers” Denji — a new format that’s turning heads. The One Piece snow globe line featuring Luffy, Nami, Sanji, and Zoro is perhaps the most creative release of the season.
How to Secure Limited Drops
With pieces limited to as few as 3,500 units, speed matters. Set calendar reminders, follow @OriginalFunko on social media, and have your payment details saved on retailer websites before drop day.
