Funko brought a Dark Urge Pop, numbered #1313 and themed around Baldur’s Gate 3, to New York Comic Con 2026, sold at Funko’s own booth #4515. It joined a lineup that also included a Dungeons & Dragons Baby Brass Dragon exclusive at the same booth.
The Dark Urge Pop carries an official NYCC 2026 sticker on the box and Funko’s standard retail pricing for the format, making it one of the more accessible convention exclusives on the show floor this year compared to some of Funko’s higher-tier grail releases.
Here is what the figure actually is, how Funko is authenticating it this year, and what to watch for if you are buying it after the fact on the secondary market.
The Dark Urge is a playable origin character from Baldur’s Gate 3, distinct from the game’s other companion-based origins in that the character carries a hidden, sinister backstory that unfolds as the story progresses. Funko’s vinyl rendition captures the character’s core look rather than any specific in-game costume variant.
Choosing the Dark Urge for a convention exclusive makes sense given how much discussion the character generated within the Baldur’s Gate 3 community after the game’s release, making it a recognizable pick for Pop collectors who also play the game.
At roughly 4.1 inches tall, the Dark Urge Pop sits at Funko’s standard vinyl figure scale rather than a larger Pop! Premium or deluxe format. That keeps it compatible with the same display and protection approach collectors already use for a typical 4-inch Pop figure.
Not every convention exclusive gets this treatment. Some NYCC releases this year moved up to larger premium formats, so it is worth confirming scale before assuming a new exclusive will fit existing display setups.
This release uses Funko’s newer authentication packaging, built around micro-optic technology designed to be difficult to duplicate or replicate. Each box carries a sticker with a unique item code that can be verified through Octane5, Funko’s third-party authentication partner.
That authentication layer matters more for convention exclusives specifically, since limited-run figures sold at a single physical booth are a common target for counterfeit secondary-market listings once the official run sells out.
This is not Funko’s first Baldur’s Gate exclusive. The brand previously revealed a Dame Aylin figure as an SDCC 2026 exclusive, showing a continued willingness to mine the game’s cast for convention-specific releases across multiple shows in the same year.
Collectors tracking Funko’s Baldur’s Gate output specifically should expect this pattern to continue, since the game’s companion and origin character roster still has plenty of recognizable faces Funko has not yet turned into a Pop.
Anyone who missed NYCC’s show floor is now shopping resale listings for the Dark Urge Pop, and prices there have already climbed meaningfully above the original retail price. Checking that a listing explicitly shows the NYCC 2026 sticker and an intact Octane5-verifiable code is worth doing before paying a resale premium.
Comparing a handful of listings rather than buying the first one found is a simple way to avoid overpaying on a figure that, while limited, was not capped at an unusually small production number compared to some of Funko’s rarer grail-tier releases.
The Dark Urge Pop was just one piece of a much larger NYCC 2026 lineup from Funko, which also included Lantern Corps variants, Marvel figures tied to Doctor Doom, and Halloween-themed releases at the same booth. That breadth meant fans visiting booth #4515 had to prioritize which exclusives mattered most rather than expecting to pick up everything in one visit.
Fans who could not attend in person were still able to access select NYCC exclusives online and through select retail partners, though availability for any individual figure varied depending on how quickly it sold through on the show floor itself.
Knowing that the Dark Urge Pop competed for attention against a genuinely large slate of other exclusives helps explain why it moved quickly once the show opened, even at a standard retail price rather than a deep-discount or clearance price point.

A convention exclusive with this much authentication detail is worth protecting rather than leaving loose on a shelf. EVORETRO’s Premium Funko Pop Protector fits the standard 4-inch scale this figure uses.
Pairing it with a riser also helps if you are building out a wider Baldur’s Gate 3 Pop shelf rather than displaying this one figure in isolation.
