Hey Pokémon trainers and Funko Pop addicts, GeekGamer here with a new update about NYCC 2024. The Jumbo Dialga Pop! is one of the most impressive pieces that will be released this year at this grand event.
That’s right, the majestic legendary deity that appeared in the fourth generation of the Pokémon world is about to have its moment of glory in the Funko universe. Since its debut in Pokémon Diamond, Dialga has captivated fans, and in this post, I’ll tell you all the details about this release.
What Makes Dialga So Special?
If you’re not familiar with Dialga, this Steel/Dragon-type legendary Pokémon is one of the most powerful creatures in the Pokémon world. Dialga is known as the master of time and made its debut as the mascot and official cover of the Pokémon Diamond video game. According to Sinnoh mythology, Dialga has the ability to control the flow of time and can alter the past, present, and future at will.
Imagine being able to control time. This definitely makes Dialga one of the most impressive and powerful Pokémon.
Dialga is part of the Creation Trio, along with Palkia (who governs space) and Giratina (associated with antimatter and parallel dimensions). The Pokémon god Arceus created the universe and brought these three legendary Pokémon into being. Dialga was specifically tasked with managing time, while its companions manage other cosmic forces.
And in case you want to know a bit more about this legendary Pokémon, here are some more fun facts…
Fun Facts About Dialga
- Dialga in Battles: Dialga is a Steel/Dragon type with great resistance to many types of attacks, including Fairy type, though it can also be vulnerable to it. Roar of Time, its signature move, is a devastating attack that uses its control over time to cause significant damage, though it requires a recharge turn due to its immense power.
- Mythological Inspiration? Many fans believe that Dialga is inspired by time gods from various mythologies, like Cronus from Greek mythology or Aion from the ancient Greco-Roman tradition. These gods represent time and its power over creation, which fits perfectly with Dialga’s role in Pokémon mythology.
- Shiny Dialga: The shiny version of Dialga swaps its usual blue tone for an attractive mint green, a variant that Pokémon collectors seek eagerly! If you’ve been lucky enough to encounter one on your journey, you know how special it is to have this rarity.
- Appearances in Other Media: Dialga is a giant in video games and an important character in Pokémon movies. Dialga is responsible for an epic battle against Palkia in Pokémon: The Rise of Darkrai, which threatens to destroy Alamos Town.
Design and Features of the Jumbo Dialga Pop!
The Jumbo Dialga Pop! promises to be a must-have collectible. You already know how impressive and detailed Pokémon figures in Jumbo format can be, and this Funko is no exception.
As GeekGamer, I’m telling you, this Dialga Funko Pop is one of the nicest ones Funko has ever designed (And I’m not saying this just because I’m a Gen 4 fanboy, because I totally am not hahaha). But that beautiful, sophisticated, and even refined design perfectly captures the metallic and dramatic essence of Dialga, like its sharp eyes and the glowing mark on its chest that represents its connection to time.
It’s worth mentioning that this is one of the few times when the Jumbo size truly honors a character, as this Jumbo Dialga Pop represents the majesty and the over 17 feet height that the Pokémon has (according to the Pokédex). Almost like a two-story building in the Pokémon universe! Though this Funko will be more manageable, its special size will make it stand out in any collection.
How to Get It?
The Jumbo Dialga Funko will be an NYCC 2024 exclusive, so be on the lookout if you want one. Don’t worry if you can’t attend in person because it will later be available as a GameStop exclusive Funko Pop, though it will likely have limited stock. So get ready to act quickly! Usually, these exclusive copies sell out in a matter of minutes.
Conclusion
The release of the Jumbo Dialga Funko Pop is a perfect opportunity for Pokémon collectors and fans to have a truly epic piece on their shelves. With its rich background in Pokémon mythology and its impressive presence in both games and anime, this Funko will surely be a highly coveted treasure.
