Hot Topic just added its exclusive Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon Funko Pop! figure to its website. The super-sized vinyl figure stands six inches tall and costs $30.90. It is in stock and ready to be shipped today.

BEUD has been available at brick-and-mortar Hot Topic stores since at least December 2021, although, as one might expect, actually finding any can be a hit-or-miss experience.

However, there appears to be a difference between the figures sold in stores and the one Hot Topic listed online. BEUD figures sold in stores come with a yellow “Hot Topic Exclusive” sticker and a Yu-Gi-Oh! 25th anniversary sticker. But the BEUD figure sold online shows a “Special Edition” sticker instead, which is normally affixed to U.S.-retailer-exclusive products that Funko makes available to retailers in other countries. It’s entirely possible that the presence of the Special Edition sticker is a mistake since Hot Topic’s website displays a digital stock photo of BEUD’s box, not a photo of the actual product. Nevertheless, collectors who are picky about boxes should take note of this.

With today’s drop, all eight Yu-Gi-Oh! Funko Pop! figures unveiled by Funko’s social media channels last October have been placed for sale online.

The Black Luster Soldier Pop! announced by Konami last November is still nowhere to be seen.
