Cronologia
Overview
The Overwatch product line by Funko, produced primarily under the popular Funko Pop! Games banner, is an extensive line of vinyl collectibles based on Blizzard Entertainment's iconic hero shooter franchise.
Launched alongside the original game, the toy line translates Overwatch's diverse roster of international heroes, mech pilots, and scientific oddities into Funko's signature stylized aesthetic.
The line encompasses standard 3.75-inch vinyl figures, 6-inch Super-Sized Pops for heavy characters and mechs, 10-inch Jumbo figures, and secondary formats like Mystery Minis, Pocket Pop! Keychains, and Loungefly fashion accessories. Positioned as a premier video game collectible series, the line serves both dedicated Overwatch gamers and Pop! completionists by capturing hero skins, ability poses, and weapon designs across the franchise's evolving universe.
History
Funko debuted the Overwatch line in early 2016 with Wave 1, featuring core characters Tracer, Reaper, Widowmaker, Pharah, and a 6-inch Winston, quickly becoming one of Funko's largest video game licensing partnerships.
As Blizzard expanded the lore through animated shorts, digital comics, and novels like The Hero of Numbani and Deadlock Rebellion, Funko kept pace by rolling out successive waves.
Wave 2 in 2017 introduced fan favorites like D.Va with her mech, while Wave 3 (2018) and Wave 4 (2018–2019) expanded into support and tank heroes like Mercy, Sombra, Genji, and Orisa. Between 2019 and 2021, Waves 5 and 6 introduced Ashe, Moira, Brigitte, and Wrecking Ball. Following the launch of Overwatch 2 in October 2022, Funko refreshed the line with updated hero redesigns and released the 2023 Invasion wave, bringing new playable heroes like Kiriko, Junker Queen, and Sigma into the vinyl realm.

Collecting
For collectors, Funko's Overwatch line represents a unique bridge between competitive gaming culture and vinyl figure collecting. The line's depth—spanning dozens of heroes and alternate skins—offers rich opportunities for both full-set completionists and hero-main collectors.
Early vaulted figures from Wave 1, particularly convention exclusives like Emerald Pharah and retailer exclusives like Soldier: 76, have appreciated significantly on the secondary market as high-value grails. Additionally, Funko's engineering of oversized 6-inch mechs like D.Va and Wrecking Ball provides impressive display presence compared to standard Pop! releases. With continued distribution through convention appearances, the Blizzard Gear Store, and ongoing Overwatch 2 updates, the secondary market and active retail pipeline remain vibrant for veteran and new collectors alike.
Beyond vinyl figures, the Overwatch product line expanded into Mystery Minis, Pocket Pop! Keychains, Pop! Rides, and wearable Loungefly fashion accessories.
