Typically, the mouth and eyebrows are notably missing from a standard Pop! Vinyl.

Exclusive limited release Pop! Vinyl’s are made available at trade shows such as Comic-Con and on webshops such as Gemini Collectibles. Exclusives are generally variants of existing Pop! figures that offer an alternative look. Exclusives also feature a sticker on the outer plastic of the original box. Exclusives are commonly made in a limited release of 480 units; however, this number varies from figure to figure. The sticker may also provide details such as the limited number of units made as well as where the item was exclusive to and the type of exclusivity (e.g. glow in the dark).
