One Piece's Funko lineup keeps digging into the franchise's deeper character history, and NYCC 2026 delivered one of its more unexpected picks yet. A Young Big Mom Pop, depicting Charlotte Linlin during her younger pirate days, is confirmed as box #2478.
This is a standard 4-inch vinyl figure rather than a deluxe or oversized release, keeping it in line with Funko's usual con-exclusive format for the franchise.
The figure carries Funko's 2026 Fall Convention Limited Edition sticker, which signals a shared-exclusive release rather than a strict booth-only drop.
Here is what is confirmed about the figure, why the younger-era design matters, and how it fits into Funko's broader One Piece convention output.
Box #2478 shows Charlotte Linlin in her big pirate hat, styled to reflect her appearance from earlier in the One Piece timeline rather than her familiar present-day look. Standard scale is 4 inches tall.
The shared-exclusive sticker means the figure is not locked to the show floor alone; it is expected to surface through the Funko Shop, at the booth, and potentially through a shared retail partner.
One Piece's long timeline gives Funko real room to revisit a character's earlier appearance instead of only producing the current version, and Young Big Mom is a clear example of that flashback-era approach.
For long-time readers, a younger Charlotte Linlin carries genuine narrative weight tied to her backstory, making this figure a deeper-cut pickup than a standard current-look release.
Funko has been consistently active with One Piece convention waves, including prior reveals like a Rides Deluxe Chopper piece and a flocked Donquixote Doflamingo. Young Big Mom continues that pattern of mixing marquee characters with deeper-cut variants.
Compared to a vehicle-scale Rides Deluxe release, Young Big Mom's standard 4-inch format makes it a more accessible pickup for collectors not chasing the larger-format pieces.
Early secondary-market listings for the figure already show a wide price range depending on whether a seller includes the official con sticker and a protector, underscoring how much presentation affects resale value on a fresh con exclusive.
A figure this early in its convention run typically sees price volatility settle down once wider shared-retailer availability actually materializes.
Unlike a strict booth-only piece, a shared-exclusive sticker gives collectors who missed the show floor a realistic path to picking the figure up later, which should keep secondary-market prices from spiking as hard as a true booth-exclusive would.
That said, early adopters at the convention itself still get first access before general retail availability catches up, which matters for anyone building a complete set quickly.
A standard 4-inch box benefits from protection the moment it leaves the show floor, since convention travel and shipping both add real wear risk compared to a figure bought off a local shelf.
A simple 4-inch Funko Pop protector keeps the box corners and window intact through the trip home.
One Piece has built decades of backstory across its cast, and a flashback-era figure like Young Big Mom rewards readers who have followed Charlotte Linlin's full arc rather than only her current appearance in the manga and anime.
Funko choosing to produce a younger-era look at all signals confidence that the character's backstory is well-known enough among fans to make the figure instantly recognizable without needing an explanatory card or packaging callout.
Funko's sequential box numbering for its Pop line has climbed well past 2,000 in recent years, and box #2478 places this figure among a wave of late-2026 releases rather than an older, previously-announced piece resurfacing.
Collectors tracking box numbers as a rough release-order reference can use that placement to confirm this is a genuinely new convention-era reveal rather than old stock getting a fresh marketing push.
Collectors who already own a current-look Charlotte Linlin figure get real display value out of pairing it with Young Big Mom, since the side-by-side comparison tells a visual story the character card alone cannot.
That kind of before-and-after pairing has become a popular display approach across One Piece collections generally, especially for characters whose appearance changes dramatically across the story's decades-spanning timeline and whose backstory reveals genuinely reshape how fans read earlier chapters.
