Funko Pop toys are one of the most popular figurines on the market today. The toys come in a variety of different designs, with the company partnering with several different TV and movie franchises to create unique options. The Netflix series "Stranger Things" has its own line of Funko Pop toys created based on the characters and stories of the show. With dozens of options, finding the best one to buy for a personal collection or as a gift can be harder than it may seem.
One of the first major decisions to make before buying any Funko Pop toy is what character to choose. "Stranger Things" has a large ensemble cast, with each character coming in different costumes and with different attachments.
In addition to traditional Funko Pop toys, there are several different variations, including an oversized version that is much larger than the original. Additionally, there are town versions that have backgrounds to go along with the Pop and deluxe models that have larger additional features and attachments. Some Pop toys come with vehicles.
Many Funko Pop toys are limited edition runs or are only sold at certain locations, making them worth more money. Other toys come in special finished coatings or with unique color schemes that make them unique to other, more traditional options. Some toys have specific variations that are different from the original version, making them rarer.
Alongside specific styles and exclusive options, there are other types of Funko Pop toys that are meant for collecting or being displayed as opposed to being played with. Funko Pop has specific types of toys built with display stands or special boxes that cost more but hold higher value.
Most Funko Pop toys are fairly affordable, with most options only costing around $10-$15. However, larger items or special collections may cost much more, with some even coming close to $100.
