Fans of the successful Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba are getting special treatment today, as Funko has unveiled an exciting upgrade for the anime’s figures. This comes months after Season 4 came to an end after running from May 12 to June 30. Per ComicBook, Funko already debuted a big wave in August for the series but is now including a glow-in-the-dark Demon Form Nezuko exclusive to the mix as part of their new Plus lineup.
The latest addition is now available on the online Funko store. The August Pop figure wave is available to pre-order at Entertainment Earth and on Amazon. Included in the wave are Demon Slayer Funko Pop Moment – Tengen Vs Gyutaro, Demon Slayer Funko Pops – Tanjiro (Sun Breathing), Demon Slayer Funko Pops – Nezuko (Demon Form / Common figure), Demon Slayer Funko Pop Keychain – Nezuko (Demon Form), Demon Slayer Funko Pops Tengen (Flash Back) and Demon Slayer Funko Pops – Gyutaro.
Speaking of the anime series, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba premiered in April 2019 and so far has sixty-three episodes and a couple of sequel films, including the 2020 Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train. Produced by Ufotable, the martial arts anime is based on the manga series of the same name by Koyoharu Gotouge and follows Tanjiro Kamado, who makes every effort to become a Demon Slayer after demons slaughtered his family. His younger sister, Nezuko, was also turned into a demon during the massacre.
