Which Disney character was the first to receive a Funko Pop! vinyl figure?

Mickey Mouse was the first Disney character to receive a Funko Pop! vinyl figure.

Funko’s Pop! line uses a distinctive stylized design with an oversized head, simplified features and a compact display format. Mickey Mouse was an early Disney subject for the line, fitting naturally into a range built around instantly recognizable licensed characters.

The figure reflects Mickey’s unusual importance in merchandise history. He was among the earliest cartoon characters to become a global licensing icon, appearing on watches, toys, clothing, books and household goods long before modern vinyl figures existed.

Other Disney characters soon followed, including characters from animated classics, Pixar films and theme-park properties. Collectors may confuse the first Disney Pop! with the first figure from a particular film or with an exclusive convention release, but the earliest Disney character represented in the general Pop! line was Mickey Mouse.
