Pepita (6-Inch) (Glow in the Dark)

Pepita, the vibrant alebrije guide from Disney and Pixar’s 2017 film Coco, was immortalized as part of the Funko Pop! Disney series. Released to coincide with the film's enduring popularity and the expansion of its merchandise line, this figure captures the creature's intricate, chimeric design, which combines features of a jaguar, eagle, and lizard. The glow-in-the-dark finish was specifically chosen to evoke the spectral, otherworldly luminescence of the Land of the Dead as depicted in the movie.

The figure’s design focuses on translating the film’s complex computer-generated textures into a stylized vinyl format. Funko’s artists prioritized the striking color palette and the creature's imposing posture, aiming to honor the intricate hand-painted aesthetic of traditional Oaxacan alebrijes. Upon its release, it was well-received by collectors for its attention to detail and ability to represent a standout, mystical character from the Pixar canon.
