A First Look At An Arceus Pokemon Funko Pop Has Appeared In The Wild
thegamer.comPokemon sidestepped its regularly scheduled slate of Funko Pops to release a Cresselia figure at C2E2 this year. It now looks set to do something similar during this year's San Diego Comic-Con, taking place at the end of July, as another rare Pokemon will seemingly be getting the Funko Pop treatment at the event.

On the one hand, making figures convention exclusives and therefore very hard to find and expensive to buy is incredibly frustrating for fans who want their collections to be complete. On the other hand, some Pokemon are harder to find regardless of the way in which you're tasked with catching 'em all. Some trading cards are rarer than others, certain Pokemon are harder to find in the games, and even Pokemon Go has particular Pokemon locked to certain parts of the world.
