Hydra Cap Gets His Own Funko In Hot Topic Exclusive Variant

Feeling nostalgic for a bygone historical era? Missed out on getting your hands on one of those Hydra shirts Marvel was pushing on retailers? Well, you’re in luck! Now you can own your very own Hydra Cap Funko, as the villain of Marvel’s Secret Empire super-mega-crossover event returns as a tiny, adorable, vinyl fascist with the Hot Topic Exclusive version of the Civil Warrior Funko Pop!

The figure is part of a set of Contest of Champions Funkos announced today, with Civil Warrior an armored version of Captain America introduced in the game in 2016. Civil Warrior comes from a timeline where the original Civil War ended with Steve Rogers killing Tony Stark, and so he becomes the Civil Warrior in Stark’s honor. That’s a much better origin story than “was always a secret Hydra Agent.”

But as we pointed out back in May, the armored Hydra Cap from the latter issues of Secret Empire looked an awful lot like the Civil Warrior, except for his noticeable change in color scheme.

It looks like Funko has made that connection canon. You can get your own cute little fascist dictator and display it proudly on your desk starting in February, and only at Hot Topic. Just don’t let it anywhere near that Warren Ellis Funko, if you know what’s good for it.

Contest Of Champions Gets Some Funky Funkos, Including Secret Empire Cap

Contest of Champions, the popular Marvel mobile game, is getting a pretty big wave of Funko Pops. While I have never played the game myself, millions of others have, and I am sure that they will be excited about these. As with most other waves of Funko Pops, there will be tons of exclusives as well, including a kind of surprising one. These will all be hitting stores in February.

Marvel Contest of Champions Funko Pops

I think it’s safe to say that even non-players are going to be falling all over themselves to get Venompool. That one is a licence to print money at this point. From a game prospective, I have no clue how popular that version is. I do know however that the What If? comic is insanely popular. So expect a tough time getting to that one. Howard the Duck looks insane in that mech suit. And Groot with a beard is amazing.

Marvel Contest of Champions Funko Pop Exclusives

Whelp, there it is — a Secret Empire Captain America toy. Did not think we would ever see any merch made from that, but here we are. It will be exclusive to Hot Topic. I am curious to see how fast this one flies off the shelf. My guess is not very quickly.

For selfie fans, GameStop is getting a Venompool exclusive with a phone. Hey, Gwenpool got one, so why not? We get a very angry looking glow-in-the-dark version of King Groot at Target, and finally a Punisher 2099 Pop at Walgreens. Walgreens has had a few exclusive Punisher products the last couple years — a Thunderbolts Pop with Red accents and a Jim Lee-inspired classic Punisher Marvel Legends figure from Hasbro.

You can preorder the regular releases already here. Good luck, Venompool fans!
