Baldur’s Gate 3 Funko Pops: Shadowheart, Karlach, and Astarion Become Collectible Icons

Baldur’s Gate 3 has remained a cultural phenomenon since its explosive launch in the summer of 2023, and by 2026 its legacy continues to grow. One of the most exciting pieces of merchandise to emerge from the fandom was the first wave of official Funko Pop figures, featuring three of the game’s most beloved companions: Shadowheart, Karlach, and Astarion. These figures first went on sale in late 2024, and for many collectors, they remain essential additions to a growing Baldur’s Gate shelf.

At first glance, there is no mistaking who these miniature versions are meant to represent. Each Pop is equipped with a tiny accessory tied directly to the character’s identity in the game. Karlach wields her iconic axe, Astarion grips his trusty dagger, and Shadowheart holds the mysterious artifact that plays such a pivotal role in the story. The attention to detail impressed fans, especially those who had spent hundreds of hours adventuring with these characters across Faerûn.

The standard price for each figure was set at $12.99 when the Amazon listings went live. That affordable entry point helped drive immediate interest. However, Karlach’s Pop offered an extra surprise: she was joined by a Bitty Pop version of Clive, the teddy bear that can be discovered in the camp after Karlach joins the party. The little bear even appears slightly charred, a charming nod to the destructive power of Karlach’s infernal engine. It was a detail that made many players smile and highlighted the tiefling’s softer side.

Astarion’s figure came with a special twist. Alongside the standard Pop holding a dagger, a chase variant was produced featuring the vampire spawn holding the Necromancy of Thay, a dark tome familiar to anyone who explored the game’s more sinister corners. Chase variants are usually much rarer than standard figures, and this one was no exception. Rather than allowing buyers to choose, retailers shipped chase variants at random. The odds of receiving the Necromancy of Thay version were roughly one in six, turning every unboxing into a small gamble. Did that make collectors hesitate, or did it only increase the thrill of the hunt? For many, the chance at a rarer figure was part of the appeal.

As of 2026, these first-wave Funko Pops continue to circulate in secondary markets, often at prices above their original retail value. That raises a question: will more Baldur’s Gate 3 companions receive the Funko treatment? While nothing has been officially confirmed, the game’s enduring popularity makes further waves feel almost inevitable. Fans who want figures of Gale or Lae’zel have already turned to Youtooz, which offers stylized collectibles of several party members. Still, many collectors hope that Funko will eventually expand the line to include the entire origin cast.

For those who missed the initial release, patience and careful searching often pay off. The charm of these figures lies not just in their recognizable designs, but in the small storytelling details—Karlach’s charred bear, Astarion’s forbidden book—that reward longtime players. Whether displayed in their boxes or arranged in a camp-like diorama, these Pops serve as miniature reminders of one of the most acclaimed role-playing games of the decade. After all, who wouldn’t want a tiny Karlach and her battle-worn teddy bear watching over their desk?
