Funko is adding four new Sonic POP figures spread across August 2026, all already open for pre-order. Three of them share the same status: they are retailer exclusives, delivered in the micro-optic authentication packaging that Funko now uses on its most sought-after pieces. The line-up includes a large Shadow in the Rides range, two alternative forms of the blue hedgehog and a winged Shadow in the standard format. They are separate from the Halloween collection released the same month, five costumed figures that form a wave of their own.

Funko POP Sonic: the new figures on pre-order (August 2026)

The main piece

Shadow (#151)

Sonic's main rival gets the largest format in the wave with a figure from the Rides range, which pairs the character with a vehicle. Shadow the Hedgehog, known for his dark personality and his speed, is shown here in a larger and more dynamic pose. It is the biggest piece in this selection.

The standard figures

Darkspine Sonic (#1250)

This is a less common form of the hero: Darkspine Sonic, the powerful transformation that appeared in Sonic and the Secret Rings. Recognisable by its flame patterns and its distinctive aura, this 4.1 in (10.4 cm) standard figure is a nod to fans of the games. It is a change from the hedgehog's usual appearances.

Sonic with a broom (#1251)

This is the most unusual figure in the selection: Sonic wears a large midnight-blue wizard hat with a gold buckle and holds a broom in front of him, its brush decorated with a pink gem. The reference is clear, but the figure is not part of the Halloween collection released a week earlier: it arrives on 24 August, with its own numbering and a limited edition of 9,500 pieces stated on the box. It is also in the standard format.

Shadow with Wings (#1286)

Shadow returns in the standard format, but not in a plain version: Funko calls it Shadow with Wings and gives him large black and red wings that spread out on either side of his body, with the figure standing on a clear base. It measures about 4.7 in (12 cm), taller than the usual size of the range, and is also a retailer exclusive.

The release dates run through the whole month: Darkspine Sonic and Shadow with Wings come first on 1 August, the Shadow from the Rides range follows on 17 August, and Sonic with a broom is last on 24 August.
