For over 10 years, Funko’s vinyl figurines have delighted fans of film, TV, music and all areas of pop culture. The small, adorable collectibles are a popular way to express love and support, whether you own just a couple or hundreds. With so many drawn from countless stories, there are Funko Pop toys for all to enjoy, including fans of beloved Disney animated movies.
Characters from the popular 2021 film “Encanto,” which tells the story of a magical Colombian family, are offered in Funko form. The best "Encanto" Funko Pop figurine, of Luisa Madrigal, showcases a relatable role model from the charming tale.
“Encanto” is a 2021 Disney animated musical about the Madrigals, a multigenerational family living in a quiet mountain town in Colombia. Each member of the family possesses a special power, except for 15-year-old Mirabel, the story's central figure. However, when the mystical house in which they live starts to fall apart, Mirabel takes it upon herself to find the cause and save her family.
There are seven Funko Pop figurines in the “Encanto” series, representing the main family. They are Mirabel, Luisa, Julietta, Isabela, Antonio, Abuela Alma and Bruno, all of whom we get to know during the film.
Most Funko Pop figurines, including all from the “Encanto” series, stand just under 4 inches tall. An oversized head makes up about two-thirds of the figurine. Despite the big head and exaggerated eyes Funko Pops are known for, each toy is designed to be instantly recognizable as the character it is depicting.
Funko Pops are made from polyvinyl chloride, a cheap, durable form of plastic. That's why Funko Pops are also referred to as Funko vinyls.
Funko Pops do not have any points of articulation; they are not posable action figures but collectibles meant to be put on display and simply observed. As they are small and sturdy, they easily fit on a shelf, nightstand, office desk or countertop. They are lightweight and durable as well, so they are easy to transport.
While most people take them out of the box to showcase, avid collectors may keep them in a box or display case to preserve their quality, hoping they gain value over time. While popular, though, "Encanto" Funko are not so rare and beloved that they will increase significantly in worth.
Collectible figurines in general and Funko Pops in particular are susceptible to fakes, forgeries and scams due to their popularity. Only buy from trusted sellers to ensure authenticity and quality.
Purchase only new figurines sold in a sealed, authentic box. This will also protect against any potential fraud or defects. Each box has a number on the top right corner; this is the mold number. In some cases, the same vinyl mold is used to produce multiple figurines with different finishes. As there are only seven characters in the “Encanto” series, there are seven different molds used.
They cost about $12-$30, depending on popularity and availability at the time of purchase.
A. The vinyl coating makes cleaning Funko Pops quick and simple. Dust regularly with a soft, non-abrasive cloth. For a deeper clean, wash for a few minutes with mild soap and warm water. For stubborn dirt, use a toothbrush to agitate the surface until clean. Avoid using any harsh chemical cleaners, as they can cause discoloration.
A. This small series does not feature any variants, unique finishes or large collectibles. All seven figurines are the same size, with colors faithful to the film.
A. Funko regularly releases series of collectibles alongside new stories or new characters. For example, there are over 25 different Thor Funko Pop vinyls inspired by various appearances on screen. As "Encanto" was just one film and there are no spinoffs or sequels planned, it’s unlikely new toys will be released.
