The Most Anticipated Disney Prince Funko Pop Releases

The Most Anticipated Disney Prince Funko Pop Releases

It has been quite some time now that fans of Disney and Funko have been awaiting the arrival of the princes. For a while it was said that they had licensing issues and it was certainly putting a damper on our incomplete collections. While they released the princesses in full swing along with some resculpts, they still had not given us the princes that we truly wanted. Thankfully Funko has FINALLY begun creating some of our favorite princes in Pop form, and the fans are certainly excited. So here is a list of the princes that are now available and the ones that will be coming out soon, along with a few that still NEED to be made. We’re pointing at you Funko!

Aladdin

Aladdin is one of my personal favorites and we finally have him to finish off our sets. Funko recently released an original Aladdin look, along with Jasmine in her red outfit, Jafar with comes with a chase variant, Abu and Rajah. There is also an Aladdin and Genie movie moments two pack which is available for Pre-order on Amazon and other various retailers.

Hercules

While Hercules is more of a god than a prince, he is still a long awaited collectible. Hercules is currently up for preorder and slated to release sometime in March. Funko is releasing a full Hercules line, with plenty of Pops to sate your appetite. They have our hunky Hercules, with a glow in the dark chase version as well! Along with the rest of the line, Hercules on Pegasus, Baby Herc, Megara and the villainous Hades which also has a chase variant. This line is also stated to have Pain and Panic, the mischievous and lovable henchmen of Hades. Definitely a long awaited line, with plenty of variants to keep up excited!

Prince Eric from the Little Mermaid

Prince Eric is certainly a favorite of Disney fans, since the Little Mermaid is on of Disney’s most popular films. While he was not released as a common and easy to acquire Pop, he was released in a wedding two-pack alongside his beautiful bride Ariel. This two-pack was released as a Disney Treasures Subscription Box exclusive, and the box sold out rather quickly.

The Beast/ Adam

Of course we have plenty of these pops already released to make fans happy, but what about releasing the Beast as Adam? It would be exciting to have this special variant, maybe even as a chase? For now the fans of a couple different version of the Beast to keep us happy and our Beauty and the Beast collections looking mostly completed.

Kristoff (Frozen)

Fans have had probably more Frozen than we can stand in pop form, and was actually one of the first lines to have a male Disney character released. It might be interesting to have a prince Hans pop, our most hated villain from pretty much any Disney film.

 

Anticipated Releases

While these releases are an exciting beginning to what will hopefully create more prince Pops, there are still many that fans are awaiting. Funko has certainly tried to make us happy with these Pops, but fans are in need of finished sets! Here are a few that fans are certainly hoping to see released sooner rather than later.

Flynn Rider (Eugene from Tangled)

Tangled is a revered film that most Disney fans absolutely adore, and the Pops are certainly big sellers. While we have a couple variants of the beautiful Rapunzel, and even a Maximus figure, we are short one Flynn Rider to go alongside of them. Fans would love to see Flynn aka Eugene sporting that irresistible smolder of his, maybe even as a chase variant!

Prince Naveen (Princess and the Frog)

While we do have the prince Naveen as a frog, we don’t have an actual figure of him in his human form. This might be a licensing issue but fans are hoping that Funko can work this one out. It would be exciting to have the handsome and charming Naveen to go alongside our Princess. We also wouldn’t complain if it were to be a wedding two-pack.

Captain Li Shang 

While he isn’t technically a prince, he is certainly a strongly anticipated Pop. We have Mulan and Mushu, now we need the impressive and commanding Li Shang. It hasn’t been announced yet by Funko but fans are certainly hoping for the release of Li Shang, possible Shan Yu, Yao, and a few other notable characters from Mulan.

Prince Charming (Cinderella)

The classic Prince Charming might not be the most modern prince, but he is one of the earlier and most recognizable princes. While we have the beautiful Cinderella in a couple variants, we still don’t have her handsome prince to accompany her. Fans would adore having the prince in his full ball attire, and is certainly a pop we are anticipating.

Prince Phillip (Sleeping Beauty)

While Sleeping Beauty is one of the older Disney princess films, that doesn’t make it any less appealing. It is a classic and Prince Phillip is certainly an irresistible character. His charm and bravery makes him a truly admirable Disney prince. Fans would love to see him dawning his red cape and hat, storming off to fight to villainous Maleficent.

Prince Ferdinand (Snow White)

From the classic film Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, fans would love to see a prince Ferdinand alongside of our princess and of course our newly released set of Dwarves.

 

While we are excited that some of these Pops are in the making, there are still so many more to be created. This definitely keeps the hobby going and keeps fans anticipating potential future releases. The fact that we are finally seeing some of our favorite princes being sculpted, gives us hope that the rest will be made in the near future. What are some of your most anticipated Disney Funko releases?
