Anime Expo 2025: Shared Funko Pop Exclusives You Need to Know
Surplus Hive is breaking down all the Spring 2025 Anime Expo shared exclusives — one Pop at a time. This lineup may be lean, but it’s stacked with limited editions, fan-favorite reveals, and a few curveballs that could skyrocket in value. Ready? Let’s dive in:
Kuromi – Translucent Purple (LE 3000)
Brand: Sanrio
This 3,000-piece cutie is giving full-on goth candy vibes. A translucent purple shell makes this Kuromi a must-have for Sanrio and kawaii collectors. With her moody charm and limited run, she's one of the hottest sleepers of AX 2025.
Elemental HERO Shining Flare Wingman (Metallic)
Brand: Yu-Gi-Oh!
Metallic shine meets GX nostalgia.
This heroic fusion monster brings that duel-ready stance and chrome heat. Metallic Pops always have high trade value, and this one’s already getting buzz for clean paint and collectible legacy. Yugi fans, don’t blink.
Koby
Brand: One Piece
From crybaby cadet to serious Marine!
Koby’s evolution arc in One Piece makes this Pop hit extra hard for longtime fans. He’s got that fresh determination and sharp marine uniform — perfect for those repping the non-pirate side of the Grand Line.
Sung Jinwoo
Brand: Solo Leveling
Before the shadow army… there was just this guy.
This Pop shows Jinwoo at rock bottom — barely surviving dungeons and looking like he just opened the wrong door in a horror movie. But collectors know: this is where legends begin. Great for getting in early on Solo Leveling merch.
Aki Hayakawa with Katana (LE 5000)
Brand: Chainsaw Man
The fan-favorite devil hunter gets his blade.
This 5,000-piece limited edition features Aki in mid-slash, katana out and drip on point. Clean lines, battle stance, and that signature hair tie make this a serious grail alert for Chainsaw fans.
Godzilla Minus One – Super-Sized
Brand: Godzilla Minus One
Raw power in Pop form.
Towering and terrifying, this super-sized beast is straight from the Oscar-winning Godzilla Minus One. Dorsal fins? On point. Roar energy? Maxed out. This one eats shelf space like it eats Tokyo.
Geto Suguru – Summer Outfit
Brand: Jujutsu Kaisen
Peaceful villain mode activated.
Geto rocks the “on-vacation from cursing humanity” look. Ponytail, open shirt, and chill vibes — this Pop is a rare break from the usual sinister energy. Lowkey a vibe.
Gojo Satoru – Summer Outfit
Brand: Jujutsu Kaisen
Sunglasses. Shorts. Sorcerer drip.
Gojo’s taking a break from saving the world to bring us summer king energy. With his playful pose and shades-on look, this one’s flying off shelves. If you miss it… well, domain expansion might not save you.
Final Buzz from the Hive
Anime Expo 2025 might’ve gotten off to a late start for Funko, but these shared exclusives are dripping with gold — from super-limited pieces like Aki (5k) and Kuromi (3k) to fan-favorite newcomers like Gojo in beach mode and Godzilla in full stompy glory.
