What’s New in Funko Pop! Animation: Ranma ½
This new release brings eight characters to the Funko Pop! Animation lineup, including two chase variants and two retailer exclusives.
With its signature blend of martial arts action, comedy, and gender-bending transformations, Ranma ½ has long been a cult favorite among anime fans.
The new wave is sure to appeal to Pop! collectors who grew up with the series as well as newcomers who are discovering Rumiko Takahashi’s iconic work for the first time. With detailed sculpts and character-specific poses, each figure captures the essence of the show and its quirky cast.
About Ranma ½: A Quick Recap
Originally created by Rumiko Takahashi, Ranma ½ debuted as a manga in 1987 and was later adapted into an anime series that aired in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
The story centers on Ranma Saotome, a martial artist who transforms into a girl when splashed with cold water, due to a training accident involving cursed springs in China.
The series blends slapstick comedy, martial arts battles, and romantic entanglements. Over time, it introduced a wide cast of rivals, fiancées, and shape-shifting animals, all of whom contribute to the show’s chaotic charm.
Ranma ½ remains one of the most beloved titles in anime history. Its unique premise and memorable characters helped define the anime boom of the 1990s and continues to influence creators today.

- Akane Tendo
- Shampoo
- Shampoo (cat form) – Chase Variant
