Chang E

Released as part of the Pop! Asia series, the Chang'e figure draws inspiration from the central deity of the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival legend. This figure, numbered 196 in the Asia line, represents Funko's effort to integrate traditional folklore and cultural narratives into their stylized vinyl collectible format. By focusing on the 'Story Book Classics' aesthetic, the design team aimed to capture the ethereal and celestial qualities associated with the goddess of the moon.

The design features the signature oversized head and simplified proportions characteristic of the Pop! aesthetic, while incorporating motifs associated with Chinese traditional attire and iconography. Upon its release, the figure was noted by collectors for its departure from standard Western pop culture licenses, marking a significant moment in the expansion of the Pop! Asia brand. It remains a representative piece of the series' intent to celebrate diverse mythological figures through a contemporary design lens.
