Features of the Funko Raphael Baldur's Gate 3 POP! Games 1188 Figure

Some characters turn up to help you, others appear to make your adventure considerably more complicated, and then there is Raphael, who has probably finished drafting a suspiciously detailed contract while you are still deciding which dialogue option to choose. Straight from Baldur's Gate 3, the cambion joins the Funko POP! range ready to bring a small piece of Avernus to your collection. This release is numbered 1188 in the POP! Games series and captures one of the most memorable, theatrical and dangerously persuasive characters from Larian Studios' role-playing game.

Raphael is a cambion connected to the Nine Hells and the master of the House of Hope, a location whose name becomes increasingly ironic the longer you stay there. Throughout the adventure he repeatedly approaches the player with offers designed to solve seemingly impossible problems. Naturally, deals involving infernal beings rarely come without conditions. One of his greatest ambitions concerns the Crown of Karsus, an artefact of extraordinary magical power that turns his interest in the party into something far more serious than an ordinary side quest.

Produced by Funko, this static collectible figure is made from PVC/vinyl and stands approximately 12.2 cm tall. Raphael has been adapted to the instantly recognisable POP! format while retaining the demonic visual identity that makes the character so distinctive. Its compact size makes it easy to display alongside other Baldur's Gate characters, gaming collectibles or a larger fantasy and RPG collection without requiring you to clear an entire inventory slot first.

Of course, Raphael's popularity is not simply the result of his talent for speaking as though every conversation deserves its own theatre stage. Players who have visited the House of Hope will probably remember exactly why his final confrontation became one of the game's most talked-about encounters. What initially appears to be another major boss battle suddenly gains a soundtrack with considerably more personality than expected. When the villain himself effectively decides to participate in his own boss theme, you know the encounter has moved beyond normal RPG territory.

The Funko Raphael POP! Games 1188 figure is therefore a fitting collectible for Baldur's Gate 3 fans, Dungeons & Dragons enthusiasts and anyone whose display shelf could benefit from a little infernal charisma. Just remember the most important rule of dealing with Raphael: displaying him is perfectly safe, but if a contract mysteriously appears beside the box, read every clause before signing.
