(Photo: Funko). The new figure raises questions about potential plans. It’s not surprising that Vecna eventually would get a Funko POP! figure (the D&D line of figures seems to be popular with Funko), but most of the figures seem to be based on official D&D artwork. For instance, the Funko POP! figure of Asmodeus, perhaps the most powerful of D&D’s pantheon of devils, is wearing robes and a look similar to that character’s depiction in the Neverwinter Tales comic. The colour of the same symbol that Xanathar is on the cover of the Xanathar’s Guide to Everything and in Waterdeep: The Dragon Heist. Basically, it’s unusual for a Funko POP! figure to feature an entirely unique design instead of a look at least inspired by some sort of official artwork. Vecna didn’t appear “official” on 5E material, so his only recent depiction comes from the Magic: The Gathering card set Adventures in the Forgotten Realms. In which the lich appeared as token (and would be totally different to the Funko POP! figure). Obviously, it’s possible that Funko could’ve just used a few exceptions to have used this figure to use something unknown reference artwork, or perhaps they got together with the design independently. But the figure does raise at least the remote possibility that Vecna, or for example, this Vecna design could be in the works for some kind of upcoming adventure or d&D book. We have to wait until the future is over. However, fans can pre-order the Pokemon Pokemon from GameStop now.
