Following Astro Bot‘s Game of the Year win at The Game Awards 2024, Funko revealed the beloved character will receive a Funko Pop!
Unfortunately, details about this particular Funko Pop are pretty limited. Given the stamp this was likely one of several figures created in the event said franchise won Game of the Year. It’s something Funko has done for a while, like the Kanas City Chief’s Super Bowl Champs 4-pack.
Sources with more familiarity with Funko’s practices believe this particular Pop! will be made to order. As a result, it could be fairly common, or somewhat sought after. For example, following Astro Bot‘s release and increase in interest, the old Nendoroid was selling for $180+ via eBay. That figure was also recently reprinted, and can still be preordered.
Those interested can preorder Astro Bot from Funko direct for $25. This figure is slightly higher than normal since it includes a Pop Protector. It also doesn’t include shipping, which currently requires $40 to qualify for free shipping. Preorders will run until Dec. 19, 2024 at 12:30 AM EST / 9:30 AM PST.
Finally, anyone who hasn’t checked Astro Bot out yet can find the official overview below.
