Chainsaw Man's Pochita is getting an unexpectedly wholesome look for this year's Comic-Con lineup. Confirmed via Funko's official SDCC 2026 exclusives list, the Pop! Pochita with Sunhat figure is one of 20 confirmed Funko exclusives for the convention.

This is a confirmed exclusive with an official drawing process, so here's what's included.

What's Confirmed About This Pop

Funko's official SDCC 2026 exclusives list confirms the following:

  • Part of Funko's confirmed lineup of 20 SDCC 2026 exclusives
  • Depicts Pochita from Chainsaw Man wearing a sunhat
  • Drawing entries for online convention exclusives opened Monday, July 20 at 9am PT and closed Wednesday, July 22 at 11:59pm PT
  • Winners were selected Thursday, July 23

A Deliberately Cute Take on a Horror-Adjacent Franchise

Chainsaw Man is known for its gruesome, high-stakes horror-action tone, so a sunhat-wearing Pochita Pop leans hard into the character's separate reputation as one of the series' most purely charming, merchandise-friendly designs — a common pattern for Funko's approach to darker source material.

Part of a Broader Anime-Heavy SDCC Slate

This Pop released alongside other anime-focused SDCC 2026 exclusives, including a Doflamingo Flocked Pop and a One Piece Rides Deluxe Tony Tony Chopper, giving anime collectors several exclusives to track from the same con rather than just one.

For a smaller-scale Pop like this, EVORETRO's Funko Pop protectors keep the box and sunhat detail dust-free.

For displaying Pochita with the rest of an anime Pop collection, EVORETRO's acrylic display risers add tiered shelf presence.

Why SDCC-Exclusive Pops Behave Differently Than Retail Figures

Standard retail Funko Pops are typically produced in ongoing waves that restock over time, but SDCC exclusives are almost always single, fixed-quantity print runs tied specifically to that year's convention. Once the drawing period closes and allocated units ship, there's generally no second production run, which is why SDCC exclusives tend to command a premium on the secondary market almost immediately compared to standard shelf Pops.

How Chainsaw Man's Merchandise Strategy Has Evolved

Chainsaw Man's official merchandise has increasingly leaned into contrasting Pochita's innocent, dog-like design against the series' darker adult content, using that tonal whiplash as a selling point rather than something to downplay. This sunhat variant continues that pattern, giving the character a wholesome seasonal look that stands in deliberate contrast to his true nature within the story.

Common Mistakes Collectors Make

  • Missing the drawing entry window, since SDCC exclusives are typically allocated through a lottery rather than first-come, first-served sales
  • Assuming this figure will be restocked at general retail after the convention
  • Displaying the boxed exclusive without protection while its resale value is still settling post-con
  • Confusing this exclusive with standard-release Chainsaw Man Funko Pops already on shelves
