What are Glow in the Dark Funko Pop! vinyl figures?

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

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

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

Glow in the Dark Funko Pop! vinyl figures are coated with 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 Glow in the Dark Funko Pop! vinyl figures, due to their normal light charge and their long persistence.

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

Funko has already released numerous Glow in the Dark Funko Pop! vinyl figures and the quality has improved over the years.

Most Glow in the Dark Funko Pop! vinyl figures are released as exclusives for specific retailers, conventions, or subscription boxes, making them more collectible. Glow in the Dark variants are often produced in limited quantities, which increases their value and demand among collectors.

Glow in the Dark Funko Pop! vinyl 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 Funko Pop! vinyl figure is released as a chase variant.
