Anime Expo 2025 just got a monstrous upgrade. Funko has officially revealed its first wave of Godzilla Minus One collectibles. Now, fans of the Academy Award-winning kaiju film can finally bring home a piece of cinematic destruction—super-sized and stylized in true Pop! fashion. Making its global debut exclusively at Funko’s booth in Los Angeles on July 3rd, the highly anticipated Godzilla Minus One Super Pop! figure stands tall at 5.4 inches and roars with authentic detail. In doing so, it captures the menace and majesty of Toho’s legendary titan.
Not only is this the first Funko figure based on Takashi Yamazaki’s groundbreaking film, but it also sets a new standard in collectible security. Each figure will come with a unique, tamper-proof sticker on the box, a strategic move to combat counterfeits and confirm authenticity. Especially as interest surges following the film’s global anticipation and praise. With a retail price of just $20, this Anime Expo exclusive is expected to be one of the event’s most sought-after releases.
While fans attending Anime Expo can grab the figure in person starting July 3rd at 9 AM PST, those unable to attend won’t be left in the dust. Funko has confirmed that the figure will also be available online via their official website at a later date. Although the exact release window is still under wraps. Until then, collectors and kaiju fans alike will want to keep their eyes peeled and wallets ready.
This exclusive Funko drop marks a major milestone for Godzilla Minus One, a film that not only stormed the global box office with over $113 million earned on a modest $10 million budget, but also took home the Oscar for Best Visual Effects at the 96th Academy Awards. Directed, written, and visually crafted by Takashi Yamazaki, the film revitalized the Godzilla franchise for a new era, blending emotional depth with massive-scale spectacle. The success of the movie has cemented Yamazaki as a pivotal figure in Toho’s cinematic future.
The excitement doesn’t stop there. Yamazaki is already confirmed to return for an upcoming Godzilla project, though whether it’s a direct sequel or a standalone feature is still unkown. In the meantime, he’s channeling his creative force into Godzilla the Ride: Giant Monsters Ultimate Battle, a new immersive attraction developed in partnership with Toho International. As both director and VFX lead, Yamazaki is crafting a new narrative experience for fans, promising, in his words, “the most terrifying ride in the world”. The ride’s accompanying short film will begin global distribution this summer as part of Toho’s nearly $1 billion push to expand Godzilla’s footprint across film, animation, gaming, and more.
As Anime Expo draws near, the arrival of the Godzilla Minus One Funko Pop not only signals a collector’s dream but a celebration of a cultural juggernaut that refuses to be contained. With new films, rides, and global expansion on the way, one thing is for sure—Godzilla is far from finished stomping his way through history.
