DC's Absolute line has become one of comics' biggest hits since its 2024 launch, and it's now getting the Funko treatment for the first time. Confirmed via The Hollywood Reporter's original announcement cross-referenced with the San Diego Comic-Con Unofficial Blog's ongoing exclusives coverage, Funko is releasing POP! Heroes figures of Absolute Batman, Absolute Wonder Woman, and Absolute Superman as San Diego Comic-Con 2026 exclusives, each limited to 1,000 pieces at $40.
This year also changes how fans actually get these exclusives, and that process has a hard deadline just a day away. Here's what's confirmed about the figures and how the purchase process works this year.
The Hollywood Reporter and SDCC Unofficial Blog's coverage confirms the following:
DC's Absolute line launched in 2024 and has only grown since, with Absolute Batman's sales increasing rather than declining over time and the line's titles earning 13 Eisner Award nominations this year alone. That sustained momentum, plus the fact that this is genuinely the first time the Absolute designs have been translated into a Funko figure, gives this exclusive more built-in demand than a typical one-off convention variant.
Funko has replaced its traditional first-come, first-served online exclusive sales with a randomized drawing system this year. Entries opened Monday, July 20 at 9 AM PT and close Wednesday, July 22 at 11:59 PM PT, with winners selected Thursday, July 23. Any Funko.com account holder can enter each drawing once for free, with a credit card pre-authorization required at entry (cards are only charged if selected), and Fan Rewards members can redeem points for a second entry to double their odds. A separate SDCC Exclusive Bundle drawing, covering one of every SDCC exclusive in a single purchase, also opened July 20.
With only 1,000 units of each figure and a built-in anti-counterfeit authentication system, these are exactly the kind of Pops worth protecting carefully from the moment they arrive.
For sturdier day-to-day protection over the included UV protector, EVORETRO's premium 0.50mm Funko Pop protector gives a 4-inch figure like these three added durability for handling and shelf display.
For collectors protecting all three figures as a set, EVORETRO's standard 4-inch Pop protectors keep each box clear and display-ready without replacing the included authentication packaging.
$40 each.
1,000 pieces per figure.

Yes, this is the first time Absolute Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman have received Funko figures.
Funko's Absolute Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman Pops mark a genuine first for one of DC's biggest current hits, backed by a tight 1,000-piece edition size per figure and new anti-counterfeit packaging. With the entry drawing closing July 22 and winners announced the next day, this is a strictly time-limited opportunity rather than an ongoing sale.
Whichever figures you're chasing, giving them sturdier protection on top of the included authentication packaging keeps a genuinely limited release looking its best long after the convention ends.
