Prior to this announcement, Sonic fans have been able to collect two separate waves of Sonic Funko Pops. The first wave had less defined features, with Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles as the sole characters in the collection. The ongoing second wave of Sonic Funko Pops feature more modern and expressive designs and include two separate Funko Pops for Sonic (one with a Chaos Emerald, one with a ring), Super Sonic, Shadow, Dr. and Eggman. The wave has featured other limited edition Pops, including retailer-exclusive figures like a metallic Sonic, a glow-in-the-dark Sonic, and a version of Shadow holding a Chao. However, the rarest of Sonic’s second Funko Pop wave is a Super Shadow figure, which was an E3 2018 exclusive.
As far as Pokémon goes, collectors have been able to thus far get their hands on three kinds of Pikachu (standard, waving, and grumpy), Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Eevee, Pichu, Vulpix, Mewtwo, Mr. Mime, Rattata, Cubone, and Growlithe. To this point, only Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Eevee, and Pichu have received special flocked versions.
