Pigsy

Pigsy was released as part of the Funko Pop! Asia series, a collection dedicated to celebrating iconic characters from Eastern mythology and pop culture. This figure is based on Zhu Bajie, a central character from the 16th-century Chinese novel Journey to the West. The series was designed to introduce international collectors to legendary figures like the Monkey King and his companions through Funko’s signature stylized aesthetic, which balances traditional iconography with modern, minimalist design sensibilities.

The character design captures Pigsy’s recognizable porcine features, including his prominent snout and ears, while adhering to the distinct vinyl construction characteristic of the early Pop! Asia line. Produced as the third entry in the series, the figure was met with interest from collectors focusing on international variants. It serves as a bridge between classic literary heritage and the contemporary trend of collectible designer toys, highlighting the global appeal of the Monkey King’s folklore.
