Funko will release exclusive Marvel Pop! figures for the 2026 New York Comic Con, taking place at the Javits Center from October 8 to 11. The company has implemented a credit card pre-authorization drawing system to manage the sale of these limited-edition items.
Why it matters
This rollout allows fans to secure rare collectibles while preventing mass reselling through a managed digital entry process. The event marks a significant activation for fans attending the annual convention in Manhattan.
The Sorcerer Supreme Doom figure retails for $100, while the Ultimate Wolverine costs $50 and the Vampire Miles Morales is priced at $40. Production is strictly limited, with 500 units each for Doom and Wolverine and 1,000 for Miles Morales.
