Momotaro

Momotaro, or Peach Boy, is a central figure in Japanese folklore, depicting a hero born from a giant peach who travels to Onigashima to defeat a band of marauding oni. This Pop! Asia figure, numbered 19 in the series, was released as part of Funko's initiative to highlight iconic cultural characters and legends from the Asian market. The design captures the character's traditional appearance, featuring his signature hachimaki headband and the gentle, stylized aesthetic characteristic of the Funko Pop! vinyl line.

The figure serves as a bridge between ancient storytelling and modern collectible culture. While Funko generally relies on licensed properties from film and television, the Pop! Asia line often ventured into mythology and regional mascots to appeal to international collectors. By distilling the heroic silhouette of Momotaro into the company's trademark oversized-head format, the design team aimed to make a venerable folk hero accessible to contemporary pop culture enthusiasts while maintaining the recognizable visual cues of his legendary tale.
