Kaiju No. 8 Gets New Funko Pops Ahead of Season 2 Release

In Japan, cities are under siege by monstrous creatures known as Kaijus. The Japanese Self-Defense Forces are valiantly defending urban areas, while cleanup crews nationwide work tirelessly to manage the chaos. Meanwhile, an ordinary city worker named Kafka inadvertently picks up a parasite from one of these beasts, resulting in his transformation into a superhuman entity with extraordinary strength and regenerative abilities. This week, Funko is launching a line of collectible figurines based on the hugely popular anime, featuring characters straight from the first season.

In this story, the principal characters Kafka, Mina Ashiro, Kikoru, and Reno all show up, along with Kafka’s transformed Kaiju hybrid known as Kaiju No. 8. Notably, both Mina and Kaiju No. 8 have special versions, often sought after by collectors, called Chase versions. Additionally, there are some unique items to acquire, such as the Mina & Bakko Funko Pop and an exclusive from Buddy Entertainment Earth. Other exclusives come from Funko and Chalice Collectibles. Pre-orders for common items can be placed at Entertainment Earth and Hot Topic, with Amazon expected to carry them soon. For a comprehensive look at the wave and access to the exclusives, refer to the list below.
