It's time to say goodbye to the Jedi and embrace the dark side and join in the Sith. With Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker little over a month away the hype is getting real. This is a movie I am excited and honestly can't wait to see you. Funko isn't helping the high as they have released a new wave of upcoming a Star Wars Funko pops. This one seemingly in braces at the dark side completely. Starting off The newest wave is three sets of upcoming Star Wars Mystery Minis. There will be three retailers getting exclusive versions of these mystery minis. Walmart, GameStop, and Target will all have their exclusive characters each for you to collect. I do believe the ratio is 1/12 so it won't be too hard to find the ones you want. The ones I would love to get would be the mysterious and Knights of Ren these little mysterious nights will help my complete transition to the dark side. Coming out of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is Supreme Leader Kylo Ren who is making his rounds in this wave. First up it looks like we will be getting lights and sound electronic Funko Pop of Kylo Ren. This would go great with the upcoming Darth Vader electronic Pop that has already been revealed from Funko. We will then be seeing Supreme Leader Kylo Ren with his very own at 10 inch Funko Pop that will be glow in the dark. Next, Kylo Ren will be joining Rey in an exclusive at Barnes and Noble two-pack. Staying in the trend of two-packs we will be getting the lovable droids a BB-8 and D-O in a pack that will be exclusive to Books-a-Million. Now moving back onto the dark side will be getting up for retailer exclusive Knights of Ren Funko Pops! Each one is designed after the retrospective Knight of Ren for the upcoming fil and would be perfect to display with Kylo Ren. There was a 5th Knight that has it been read least in the past Smugglers Bounty Funko subscription box from Amazon so be on the lookout for him to finish the set. But if you don't want to complete all six of the Knights of Ren through retailer exclusives there will be a set of six silver chrome varaints. They look immortalized in the chrome versions almost as if they are statues and would still be badass for any Sith's collection. Last but not least are my two favorite reveals in this wave. First, up will be getting the red eyes C-3PO Funko Pop that we have seen in the Star Wars convention and trailer. We will also be getting dark side Rey from that trailer as well. Whether these are teasers or maybe potential spoilers I can't wait to see what happens. Out of this wave, I will be purchasing the Sith Rey and I hope we can see more companies give us this fallen Jedi Rey.

These dark side Funko Pops do not have a release date just yet they could be releasing it before the film or after the film. Excluding the retailer exclusive variants, the rest will be commons are already up and available for pre-orders and you can find them here. As for prices the commons and exclusives will vary between the $8.99 and $12.50. The 10-inch supreme leader Kylo Ren will be roughly $30 and the electronic one should be around $15-18 that is going off of the Iron Man Avengers light up to and adding a little extra for sound.

Join the dark side. We have cookies.
