Rumors that a Pikachu Funko POP was in the works and Reddit users were posting product photos of it Now, Funko POP themselves have announced the popular Pokémon is real and will be exclusive to Target stores starting July (this month).
With this, looks like the Funko company has license to possibly more Pokémon figures. With countless ones to pick from, this can spin out of control, especially if store exclusives. As if this was the amiibo craze all over again.
No details were mentioned when exactly they will appear. So if you are looking to get one, your best bet is to visit your Target store and be on the look-out. Nothing has been posted on Target.com yet but again, eyes peeled for searches.
Update: Here is the placeholder page at Target.com to purchase the Funko POP. No product info or photos on the page yet.
