Funko POP Sumikkogurashi: the corner-dwelling characters up for pre-order (October 2026)

Sumikkogurashi is coming to Funko: three POP! Animation figures based on San-X's small creatures are due in October 2026 and are already open for pre-order. The idea behind the series is in its name, which describes characters who prefer to stay in the corners of the room rather than at the centre of attention. The three boxes run in sequence from #2484 to #2486 and share the same approach: very round sculpts, with almost no surface detail, on pastel backgrounds.

Shirokuma (#2484)

The polar bear from the north opens the series. He is entirely white apart from his brown ears and snout. Funko repeats his best-known line: he runs away from the cold and feels most at ease in a corner, holding a cup of hot tea. The figure is listed at around 8.1 centimetres, making it the tallest of the three.

Penguin? (#2485)

The question mark is part of the name, and it sums up the character: this small pale green creature with a yellow beak is not sure it is really a penguin. Funko puts this existential question on the box as it is. The sculpt shows him holding a small light-coloured object against himself, and it measures around 7.9 centimetres.

Tokage (#2486)

The last of the batch comes in a faded blue-green, with a light snout and droopy eyelids. His box text is about hiding: he keeps a low profile so he doesn't get caught and keeps his identity to himself. He is the same size as the penguin, around 7.9 centimetres, and has the same crouching pose with a small companion held against his tummy.

All three figures are expected in October 2026 and are already open for pre-order.
