Glow in the Dark Funko Pop! vinyl figures are popular among Pop! collectors. But what exactly are Funko Pop! vinyl Glow in the Dark figures?

Funko Pop! vinyl figures with a unique glowing effect.

Since the launch of the Pop! vinyl product line, Funko has always worked hard to improve the world of Funko Pop! with new possibilities and trends.

There are many different types of Funko Pop! vinyl figures, with remarkable and unique effects and finishes, and the Glow in the Dark Funko Pop! vinyl figures are popular among Pop! collectors to collect and display.

The Funko Pop! vinyl Glow in the Dark figures contain special phosphorescent paint, commonly known as glow-in-the-dark paint, which creates a unique glowing effect when the paint or Funko Pop! vinyl figure is exposed to an outside light source.

The phosphorescent paint contains phosphors, a substance that emits visible light after being charged or energized.

There are thousands of chemicals that behave like a phosphor, all with three similar characteristics; the type of energy they require to be energized, the color of the visible light that they produce and the length of time that they glow after being energized (known as the persistence of the phosphor).

Some phosphors only glow for minutes when energized, while the newer phosphors glow for several hours. Zinc sulfide and strontium aluminate are ideal phospors for glow-in-the-dark products such as Funko Pop! vinyl Glow in the Dark figures, due to their normal light charge and their long persistence.

Hold a Funko Pop! vinyl Glow in the Dark figure up to a light to charge, then take the Pop! vinyl figure to a dark place to enjoy the unique glowing effect.

Funko has already released numerous Funko Pop! vinyl Glow in the Dark figures and the quality has improved over the years. The Funko Pop vinyl Glow in the Dark figures can be recognized by the yellow Glow in the Dark sticker on the box, or the exclusive Glow in the Dark Chase (limited edition) sticker, when the Pop! vinyl figure is released as a chase variant.

Most Funko Pop! vinyl Glow in the Dark figures are released as an additional variation of a common Funko Pop! vinyl figure, assigned exclusively to one of the major Funko Pop! resellers, such as Amazon, Target or Entertainment Earth.
