Looks Like We're Getting Gundam Funko Pop! Figures Soon: Photos Reveal RX-78-2 and Char’s Zaku II

It appears that Funko Pop has obtained the license for producing a line of Gundam figures. This news was made public today by photographs from Las Vegas Funkoholics, which reveal the classic RX-78-2 Gundam and Char's Zaku II in Funko Pop's typical packaging.

The images show both mobile suits captured in Funko Pop's hallmark style, combining the popular chibi aesthetic with the precise designs that Gundam fans like. The RX-78-2 Gundam, with its famous color scheme of blue, red, and white, stands confidently within its box, whilst Char's Zaku II, noted for its striking red tint and frightening mono-eye, appears ready for conflict.

This partnership represents a big crossover of two major properties. Gundam, with a long history stretching back to the 1970s, is a staple of mecha anime and model kit culture. Funko Pop, on the other hand, has become a cultural phenomenon, known for its diverse line of collectible figures spanning multiple fandoms.

The timing of this release couldn’t be more perfect as Gundam celebrates its 45th anniversary. Introducing Gundam figures into the Funko Pop lineup is a fantastic way to honor this milestone, bringing together generations of fans and collectors.
