Alexandra Trese

Alexandra Trese was released as part of the Funko Pop! Comics line, representing the titular character from the Filipino noir-horror komik series created by Budjette Tan and Kajo Baldisimo. The character, a detective who deals with crimes involving supernatural entities from Philippine folklore, gained global recognition following the 2021 Netflix animated adaptation. The figurine design captures her signature professional look, complete with her iconic black trench coat and stoic expression, translating the dark, urban aesthetic of the original graphic novels into Funko’s stylized, simplified form.

This collectible was produced to celebrate the international expansion of the Trese franchise. By placing the character into the Pop! format, the manufacturers aimed to bridge the gap between traditional Filipino komiks and the broader global toy market. The reception was largely positive among fans of the series and collectors of international media, as it served as a notable acknowledgment of the cultural impact of Tan and Baldisimo’s work outside of the Philippines.
