The Funko team has something bitty special in store for you at New York Comic Con 2024, and it’s going to make your shelves (and hearts) that much fuller. We’re talking about the Bitty Pop! Freddy Funko & Friends, a limited-edition set of only 4,000 pieces, shared with the Funko Shop. If you haven’t heard about Bitty Pops yet, prepare yourself for a wave of cuteness overload—and if you have been collecting these mini wonders, well, you already know the hype is real.
Let’s dive into why these teeny-tiny collectibles are an absolute must-have this year, and how you can score one at NYCC or online!
What Are Bitty Pops? The Tiny Craze That’s Taking Over Funko Collecting
First things first—what are Bitty Pops, anyway? Well, imagine your favorite Funko Pops, but shrunk down to miniature form, smaller than you thought possible, and somehow still just as detailed and adorable. It’s like Funko gave us all the chance to build a tiny version of the Funko universe that fits in the palm of our hands.
Funko first launched Bitty Pops in early 2023, and they’ve already become a hit with collectors. These micro-sized versions of classic Pops come in cute little sets, and they’re packaged with mini display cases—because, obviously, even the tiniest collectibles need to look good on your shelf. Popular characters like Disney princesses, Star Wars heroes, and Harry Potter icons have all received the Bitty treatment, and now… it’s Freddy Funko’s time to shine (again).
Freddy Funko & Friends Are Here to Steal the Show at NYCC 2024
Freddy Funko is back and scarier (and smaller!) than ever with the NYCC 2024 Exclusive Universal Monsters X Freddy Funko Bitty Pop set. This spooky mashup brings together some of the most iconic characters from Universal’s classic horror lineup.
With Bitty Pops gaining popularity for their small size but big impact, this Universal Monsters X Freddy Funko set is going to be one of the hottest drops at NYCC 2024. Whether you’re a longtime fan of these classic monsters or just love collecting Funko’s quirkiest mashups, this exclusive set is bound to be a collectible grail.
A Look Back at Previous Bitty Pop! Drops
Since Bitty Pops are still relatively new, we haven’t seen too many releases yet—but that’s all the more reason to get excited for this one. Funko has been rolling out Bitty Pops in themed waves, and the Bitty Pop! Star Wars and Harry Potter collections have already made their way into collectors’ homes. Each set comes with four figures, including one mystery figure (for those of us who live for a little suspense).
Collectors have fallen in love with these pint-sized figures not only because they’re perfect for space-conscious fans, but because they manage to capture all the charm of their full-sized counterparts. The added bonus of rare chase variants in some sets has also made them a must-have for serious Funko hunters. With the Freddy Funko & Friends set, it feels like Funko is doubling down on their Bitty Pop success by offering a limited-edition set that’s equal parts rare and adorable.
When and Where to Buy the NYCC 2024 Bitty Pop! Freddy Funko & Friends
Okay, now let’s get to the nitty-gritty—how can you get your hands on these tiny treasures?
- At NYCC 2024: If you’re lucky enough to be attending New York Comic Con this year, you’ll have the chance to grab the Freddy Funko & Friends Bitty Pop! set directly at the Funko booth. But—and this is a big one—you’ll need to be on your A-game, because exclusives like this tend to sell out faster than you can say “Funko drop!” Make sure you’ve secured your NYCC badge and keep an eye on Funko’s booth schedule for details on when the Bitty Pops will be available.
- For Everyone Else: If you’re not hitting the convention floor in person, don’t panic just yet. Funko is sharing the Freddy Funko & Friends set with their Funko Shop, so you’ll have a shot at scoring this exclusive online. Traditionally, Funko releases their shared exclusives sometime during or right after NYCC, so keep a close watch on the Funko Shop website and their social media channels for the exact drop time.
Here’s a pro tip from one Funko hunter to another: make sure you’re already logged into your Funko account, have your payment info saved, and refresh that page like there’s no tomorrow. These limited-edition items go fast, and with only 4,000 pieces in existence, you’ll need every advantage you can get!
Why These Bitty Pops Are a Big Deal for Collectors
The Bitty Pop! Freddy Funko & Friends set is more than just another cool NYCC exclusive—it’s a symbol of how far Funko collecting has come, and how much Funko fans still love discovering new ways to engage with their favorite characters. For collectors, these little guys represent that sweet spot between nostalgia and novelty—whether it’s a childhood obsession with Star Wars, or a deep love for all things Freddy Funko.
Plus, let’s be real, the sheer rarity of these Bitty Pops makes them a gold mine for Funko enthusiasts. Limited to just 4,000 pieces, they’re not just collectibles; they’re instant grails for anyone lucky enough to snag them.
Final Thoughts: Get Ready to Go Bitty or Go Home
