Funko has confirmed two of its headline Star Wars exclusives for San Diego Comic-Con 2026, and the way collectors actually get a shot at buying them has changed. Confirmed via Funko's own SDCC blog post and tracked in detail by the San Diego Comic-Con Unofficial Blog, LE Supreme Darth Maul (Kyber Crystal) and LE Supreme Ahsoka Tano (Kyber Crystal) headline this year's Star Wars lineup, and the online drawing to win purchase access opens today, July 20, at 9am PT.
Funko's reveal, corroborated by Fantha Tracks and the SDCC Unofficial Blog's running exclusives tracker, confirms the following:
Both figures fall under Funko's Supreme line, which the company has increasingly used for premium finish treatments distinct from standard mainline Pop releases, and the shared Kyber Crystal naming across both figures ties them together as a matched pair rather than two unrelated con exclusives.
This is the most significant change for anyone hoping to buy an SDCC exclusive without attending in person. Confirmed directly on Funko's own blog and detailed further by the SDCC Unofficial Blog, all online convention exclusives now go through a randomized drawing rather than the traditional first-come, first-served website sale used in past years.
Funko is also offering a limited number of SDCC Exclusive Bundles, letting winners receive one of every SDCC exclusive item in a single purchase through a separate drawing that also opens July 20 at 9am PT, though the Loungefly Pop! & Bag set is excluded from the bundle.
The old first-come, first-served model rewarded whoever had the fastest connection and the most luck refreshing a page at the exact drop moment, which shut out plenty of collectors regardless of how much they wanted a specific piece. A randomized drawing with a multi-day entry window levels that out considerably: everyone who enters during the window has an equal shot regardless of timezone or reflexes, and the pre-authorization system means collectors aren't left guessing whether a charge actually went through during a chaotic sale window.
Attending SDCC in person doesn't guarantee purchase access either. Funko's own instructions confirm booth entry is awarded through the separate SDCC Exclusives Portal, which opened to badge holders July 7 and closed its window July 16, with notifications going out to those awarded a secured time slot. After the last session each day, the booth opens to any remaining visitors without a slot, but even that doesn't guarantee stock will still be available.
The Kyber Crystal Pops share the spotlight with a wide slate of other exclusives this year, including a POP! Orko from Masters of the Universe, a Solo Leveling Sung Il-Hwan figure, and a new Pop! Mystery blind-box program launching at the show featuring Warner Bros. horror characters ahead of an August retail rollout. Funko's SDCC slate has grown into one of the year's largest single-event drops across its catalog, which makes knowing exactly how to enter for the pieces you actually want worth doing before the window closes Wednesday night.
Funko's reveal confirms both Kyber Crystal Pops' names and their 9,500-piece edition sizes, but official retail pricing hadn't been published as of this writing. Collectors should watch Funko.com directly for pricing once it's added ahead of the drawing results.
Winning a spot in the drawing is only the first step. Once a Kyber Crystal Pop actually ships, keeping it protected matters even more given the limited 9,500-piece run.
For standard Pop-scale figures, EVORETRO's 4-inch Pop protectors keep the figure and its box shielded from dust and shelf wear.
For a Star Wars-specific display option, a clear acrylic display case built for Star Wars collectibles gives either figure a dedicated, fully visible spot alongside the rest of a Star Wars shelf.
Today, July 20, at 9am PT, and it closes Wednesday, July 22 at 11:59pm PT, with winners announced July 23.
Each is limited to 9,500 pieces.
No. Select exclusives, including these, are available through the new online drawing system, separate from in-person booth access.
Not yet confirmed. Funko hadn't published pricing as of this writing.
Funko's shift to a randomized drawing system is the real story behind this year's SDCC exclusives, giving every entrant an equal shot at pieces like the Darth Maul and Ahsoka Tano Kyber Crystal Supreme Pops regardless of speed or luck. With entries open now and closing Wednesday night, getting a free Funko.com account entry in, and a second one through Fan Rewards, is worth doing before the window closes.
Once a figure actually ships, having protection ready for a limited 9,500-piece run is worth planning for ahead of time rather than after it arrives.
