Alex Ovechkin broke the NHL goals record on April 6 against the New York Islanders. Now, nearly a year later, one of the celebratory merch items made available for preorder that day is shipping out to buyers.
Ovechkin’s fourth Funko POP!, a Fanatics exclusive figurine, celebrates the Capitals legend becoming the NHL’s all-time goals leader and features The Great 8’s exclusive logo on the white, black, and gold box. The figure itself is aggressively grey-haired and grey-bearded. The details are nailed as the Figvechkin sports his trademark gap-toothed smile, wears his Capitals’ 50th anniversary away jersey, and rocks his yellow laces on his skates.
Readers interested in purchasing one of the remaining Funko POPs! can do so through the NHL’s online shop.
Here’s a closer look at one of the figurines, which I ordered myself last spring. Please note, in the photos, I edited out the QR code and ID number of the respective POP!

The first Ovechkin Funko POP!, no. 10 in the hockey line, was announced in 2016 and featured Ovi in the Capitals’ home jersey. Three years later, Ovechkin POP! no. 59 featured the Capitals captain in the team’s third jerseys then, which were inspired by the Caps’ original sweater design. A year later, a chase version of no. 59 was released, featuring Ovechkin in the team’s away jersey along with the Stanley Cup.
P.S. – Here’s a link to all the new Ovechkin merch in the NHL Store.
