In case you hadn’t heard, Baldur’s Gate 3 is kind of a big deal. Anything that’s a big deal tends to have its own Funko Pops, and all six of the game’s core companions now have their own figures. The Funko train doesn’t stop there for Baldur’s Gate 3, however, as some of the RPG’s other characters are getting Pops too.
Jaheira, Raphael, And The Emperor Funko Pops Revealed
Revealed during this week’s New York Toy Fair, the first Baldur’s Gate 3 characters outside of the core sextet will be Jaheira, Raphael, and The Emperor. Sometimes when these convention reveals happen, there’s a bit of a wait until the Pops become available to buy. Not in this case, as the three new figures will be released this week, probably as soon as Wednesday.
Jaheira, Raphael, and The Emperor’s additions to the Baldur’s Gate 3 Funko Pop collection will have those of you collecting the characters likely breathing a collective sigh of relief. There was every chance that, with Shadowheart, Astarion, and the other core companions already done and dusted, Funko might stop there.
Thankfully, that’s not happening. If anything, these new Pops are a sign that we might be getting even more figures modeled after characters from the 2023 Game of the Year. If these three are worthy of being turned into Funko Pops, then you have to think it’s only a matter of time until the likes of Halsin and Withers join them.
I’m holding out for that Super-Sized Owlbear Pop. You know it’s coming.
The Three Newsest Baldur’s Gate 3 Pops Will Cost $14.99 Each And Ship This April
Back to the Pops we know we’re getting for now, and since Jaheira, Raphael, and The Emperor’s figures all appear to be regular-size, that should mean they’re all a regular price, that being the Funko Pop standard $14.99. Although pre-orders for the Pops will open at Funko, and hopefully Amazon too tomorrow, they won’t ship until April.
I’m guessing the Jaheira Pop is going to be the most popular of the three since she’s the character from this trio that Baldur’s Gate 3 players love the most. However, every time I check back on the images of these Pops, my eyes are drawn to The Emperor. Yes, I know he’s a complex character, but I’m always a fan of when Funko has the chance to do something unique with its Pop designs that set a figure apart from most others.
Aside from playing through Baldur’s Gate 3 another ten times (at least), we now know how its sprawling world will be expanded on. Not via a game – although that may happen eventually – but via a TV adaptation. Craig Mazin (The Last of Us, Chornobyl) is heading up the project, which will build on the events of the game. Perhaps we’ll see some of these Pops in live action one day, depending on whose playthroughs Mazin decides are going to be canon to the show.
