Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include Funko, Inc. and its subsidiaries (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Consolidation All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Cash Equivalents
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include amounts due from third-party financial institutions for credit and debit card transactions, that typically settle in less than 5 days. Cash equivalents also include short-term investments, which are highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased.
Concentrations of Business and Credit Risk
Concentrations of Business and Credit Risk
The Company grants credit to its customers on an unsecured basis. The Company monitors the financial health of its customers and will take actions to mitigate a customer's credit risk if a negative financial forecast is expected. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the balance of accounts receivable consisted of 8% and 6%, respectively, of amounts owed from the largest customer for the given period. The collection of these receivables has been within the terms of the associated customer agreement.
For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, there was no individual customer that generated over 10% of net sales.
For both the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, no individual license agreement accounted for more than 10% of sales.
The Company maintains its cash within bank deposit accounts at high quality, accredited financial institutions. These amounts at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any credit losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to significant credit risk on cash.
Inventory
Inventories
Inventories consist primarily of figures, plush, apparel, homewares, accessories and other finished goods, and is accounted for using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Inventory costs include direct product costs, freight and duty costs. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company estimates obsolescence based on assumptions regarding future demand. This valuation requires us to make judgments, based on currently available information, about the likely method of disposition, such as through sales to customers, or liquidation, and expected recoverable value of each disposition category.
Property and Equipment and Long-Lived Assets
Property and Equipment and Long-Lived Assets
Property and equipment is stated at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation, and, if applicable, impairment charges. Depreciation of property and equipment is recorded using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. The estimated useful lives of our property and equipment are generally as follows:
Asset
Lives (in years)
Tooling and molds
2
Furniture, fixtures, and warehouse equipment
2 to 7
Computer equipment, software and other
3 to 5
Leasehold improvements
Lesser of useful life or term of lease
The Company monitors long-lived assets for impairment indicators on an ongoing basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset (or asset group), a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset (or asset group) is used, or any other significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. If impairment indicators exist, the Company will perform the required impairment analysis by comparing the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the underlying asset groups to the related net book values. If the net book value exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. An impairment loss is measured as the difference between the net book value and the fair value of the long-lived assets. Fair value is estimated based upon a combination of market and cost approaches, as appropriate. Changes in economic or operating conditions impacting these estimates and assumptions could result in the impairment of the Company's long-lived assets.
Revenue Recognition and Sales Allowance
Revenue Recognition and Sales Allowance
Revenue from the sale of Company products is recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, which is upon shipment or upon receipt of finished goods by the customer, depending on the contract terms. Deferred revenue is recognized when the Company collects cash from the customer and had not yet filled its obligation for delivery of product or service. Deferred revenue was $17.6 million and $13.3 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and is recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The Company expects to recognize revenue under these performance obligations over the next 12 months.
The Company routinely enters into arrangements with its customers to provide sales incentives, support customer promotions, and provide allowances for returns and defective merchandise. These sales adjustments require management to make estimates. In making these estimates, management considers all available information including the overall business environment, historical trends and information from customers, such as agreed upon customer contract terms as well as historical experience from the customer. The costs of these programs reduce gross sales in the period the related sale is recognized. The Company adjusts its estimates at least quarterly or when facts and circumstances used in the estimate process change.
The Company has made an accounting policy election to exclude from revenue, all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the Company from a customer (for example, sales, use, value-added, and certain excise taxes). 
The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after control of the related good transfers as fulfillment activities instead of assessing such activities as performance obligations. Accordingly, shipping and handling activities that are performed by the Company, after a customer has obtained control of the products, are considered fulfillment costs and are included within cost of sales when related revenues are recognized. Shipping fees billed to customers are included in net sales.
The Company has elected the practical expedient to not recognize a significant financing component for contracts that include payments terms of one year or less. The Company has also elected the practical expedient permitting expensing of costs to obtain a contract when the expected amortization period is one year or less.
Royalties
The Company enters into agreements for rights to licensed trademarks, copyrights and likenesses for use in our products. These licensing agreements require the payment of royalty fees to the licensor based on a percentage of revenue. Many licensing agreements also require minimum royalty commitments. When royalty fees are paid in advance, the Company records these payments as a prepaid asset. If the Company determines that it is probable that the expected revenue will not be realized, a reserve is recorded against the prepaid asset for the non-recoverable portion.The Company records a royalty liability as revenues are earned based on the terms of the licensing agreement. In situations where a minimum commitment is not expected to be met based on expected revenues, the Company will accrue up to the minimum amount when it is reasonably certain that revenues generated will not meet the minimum commitment. Our license agreements typically grant our licensors the right to audit our compliance with the terms and conditions of such agreements. Any such audit could result in a dispute over whether the Company has paid the proper royalties and a requirement that the Company pay additional royalties.
Advertising and Marketing Costs
Advertising and Marketing Costs
Advertising and marketing costs are expensed when the advertising or marketing event takes place. These costs include the fees to participate in trade shows and Comic-Cons, as well as costs to develop promotional video and other online content created for advertising purposes.
The Company enters into cooperative advertising arrangements with customers. The fees related to these arrangements are recorded as a reduction of net sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations because the Company has determined it does not receive an identifiable benefit and cannot reasonably estimate the fair value of these arrangements.
Product Design and Development Costs
Product Design and Development Costs
Product design and development costs are recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations as incurred.
Foreign Currency
Foreign Currency
The Company has international sales and operating expenses that are denominated in local functional currencies. The functional currency of our international subsidiaries is the same as the local currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end foreign exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing throughout the period. Translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive income (loss) on the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Transaction gains and losses including intercompany transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of Funko, Inc. are included in other (income) expense, net on our consolidated statements of operations.
The income tax effects related to the unrealized foreign currency component of other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified to earnings only when the net investment is sold, or when a liquidation of the respective net investment in the foreign entity is substantially completed.
Assets Held-for-Sale
Assets Held-for-Sale
The Company evaluates the held-for-sale criteria under ASC 360 when it commits to a plan to sell an asset or disposal group. Assets that qualify as held-for-sale are reported at the lower of its carrying value or its fair value less cost to sell. Assets held-for-sale were included within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards and Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 amends existing income tax disclosure guidance, primarily requiring more detailed disclosure for income taxes paid by jurisdiction and the effective tax rate reconciliation. The Company adopted the ASU for the year ended December 31, 2025, on a prospective basis. Refer to Note 12, "Income Taxes" for further information on the Company's enhanced disclosures.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses for public business entities. ASU 2024-03 requires that an entity disclose in the notes to the financial statements specified information about certain costs and expenses, including the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) other amounts of depletion expense included in each relevant expense caption presented on the statement of operations. The standard also requires disclosure of a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, as well as the total amount of selling expenses and an entity’s definition of selling expenses. The ASU was clarified in January 2025 and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted and it can be applied on either a prospective or retroactive basis. The Company is currently evaluating the ASU to determine its impact on income statement presentation and enhanced footnote disclosures.
