It wasn't long ago we received news that Funko is expanding its range of Gen 1 Pokémon. Including a Metallic Silver Bulbasaur, those are due to arrive later this year but, in the meantime, Funko has just announced two exclusive new variants for Charmander and Vaporeon.
Calling them "Diamond Variants", these sparkly figures are planned for the upcoming Funko Virtual Con Spring 2021, working together with Emerald City Comic-Con. The ongoing global pandemic hasn't stopped Funko releasing exclusive convention merchandise – it is just doing so with an altered strategy.
Releasing on March 4th, these will be available via Funko’s online store. Within the United States, anyone looking to purchase them through traditional retailers will find Charmander exclusively at Target, whereas Vaporean is planned for Barned & Noble.
For more information on regional exclusives elsewhere, you can find that on Funko's official blog post.
Will you be buying these variants? Let us know in the comments below.

Looks expensive. But not as much as a charizard card
Diamond = Gen 4 remakes confirmed!
Making ugly things sparkly doesn't really improve the situation...
The very definition of ''why'' right here.
I've defended Funko Pops "right to exist" before, but honestly, is anybody still buying them? Every store seems to have literally thousands of them out and I very rarely see anyone even looking at the displays. I feel like they massively oversaturated the market and people are mostly done with them now, like Beanie Babies which nobody cares about but we still have billions of them out in the wild.
If these were in the UK I'd buy the Vaporeon. Looks really nice with the sparkles
I'm glad I stopped buying Funko Pops, there is the odd one that looks good, but these, these look horrible.
The sheer hideousness of Funko Pops has helped keep my figurine collecting urges in check. Jeebus. [shudders uncontrollably]
And I thought Ryu in Fortnite looked bad. This is pure nightmare fuel.
Thanks for reminding me that Funko pops are still somehow being made.
Funko pops look so bad, still can't believe people buy them.

Funko figures are unappealing.
