Funko has officially announced a second wave of Magic: The Gathering Funko Pop! Vinyl figures as part of the Pop! Games series.
What’s New in Pop! Games: Magic: The Gathering
This newly revealed wave expands on Magic: The Gathering’s recent return to the Funko lineup, following the first Pop! Games release that marked the franchise’s comeback after years of limited activity.
Rather than introducing obscure or experimental characters, Funko is doubling down on recognizability with this second wave. Two of the most iconic Planeswalkers in Magic history have been selected, making this release immediately appealing to both long-time players and casual fans.
The decision to keep Magic under the Pop! Games banner remains consistent with the first wave. While earlier Magic figures were released under a separate Pop! Magic series, Funko is clearly repositioning the franchise as a core gaming property within the broader Pop! Games lineup.
This approach may not please every collector, especially those who prefer franchise-specific categorization, but it does provide Magic with more visibility alongside other major gaming brands.
About Magic: The Gathering
Magic: The Gathering was created by Richard Garfield and first released by Wizards of the Coast in 1993, becoming the world’s first trading card game. From the beginning, Magic distinguished itself by blending strategic depth with detailed fantasy storytelling.
Over the past three decades, the game has grown into a global phenomenon. With thousands of cards, dozens of expansion sets, and an ever-evolving ruleset, Magic remains one of the most complex and rewarding tabletop games available.
A defining feature of the franchise is its narrative focus. Magic is built around a vast multiverse made up of different planes, each with its own cultures, conflicts, and characters. Players experience these worlds primarily through the perspective of Planeswalkers, powerful spellcasters who serve as the central figures of the story.
Beyond the physical card game, Magic has expanded into digital platforms, novels, comics, and competitive esports-style play. An animated series is also in development, further reinforcing the franchise’s relevance outside traditional tabletop gaming.
Merchandise has become an important extension of the brand, and Funko Pop! Vinyl figures offer fans a way to connect with Magic’s characters beyond gameplay.
New Magic: The Gathering Funko Pop! Vinyl Figures
Characters from Magic: The Gathering have been transformed into Funko Pop! Vinyl figures and are part of the Funko Pop! Games series.
The second Pop! Games wave focuses on two Planeswalkers who are deeply embedded in Magic’s identity and history.
Jace is widely regarded as the face of Magic: The Gathering. Specializing in illusion and mind-based magic, he represents intelligence, control, and strategy. Over the years, Jace has appeared in numerous story arcs and has often served as a central protagonist within the Magic multiverse.
His visual design translates naturally into Funko Pop! form, making him an essential addition for both Magic fans and Pop! Games collectors. As one of the most frequently featured characters in Magic’s promotional material, his inclusion feels long overdue.
Liliana brings a darker tone to the wave. A powerful necromancer driven by ambition and personal loss, she has one of the most complex character arcs in the franchise. Her association with death magic and morally ambiguous choices has made her a consistent fan favorite.
Visually, Liliana stands out due to her distinct aesthetic and commanding presence. In Pop! form, she adds contrast and balance to the wave, pairing perfectly with Jace’s more calculated persona.
Together, these two figures form a strong and deliberate follow-up to the first Pop! Games Magic release, shifting the focus toward cornerstone characters rather than niche selections.

By continuing the Magic: The Gathering line under Pop! Games, Funko signals that the franchise is no longer a one-off experiment. This second wave reinforces the idea that Magic now has a stable place within the Pop! Games ecosystem.
For collectors who missed earlier Magic Funko Pop! releases, this wave offers an accessible entry point with two characters that define the franchise. For established Magic fans, it provides long-requested additions that feel essential rather than optional.
While the split between Pop! Magic and Pop! Games may still feel awkward from a cataloging perspective, the quality and character selection make this wave easy to justify.
