Looking for the best Stranger Things Funko Pops? Allow us to assist! With a vast array of memorable characters from four TV seasons, there’s an awful lot of awesome Funko figurines to choose from. To help you pick your favorites without having to turn the internet… ahem… ‘upside down’, this guide pulls together the best Stranger Things Funkos on offer in 2023.
Core party members like Dustin, Mike, and Will; adults like Joyce and Hopper; approximately 478 variants of Eleven – you name it, you can Funko it. It doesn’t stop with the humans, of course: add into the mix such iconic DnD monsters as Vecna and the Demogorgon, and it’s easy to see why there are over 100 Stranger Things Funko Pops currently (with many new ones on the way).
If your collection already has enough Hawkins, Indiana residents in it, check out our guides to the best Harry Potter Funko Pops and the best Marvel Funko Pops on offer – you might find one you’re missing! For now, though…
The best Stranger Things Funko Pops are:
1. Eleven Funko Pop
Our favorite Eleven Funko Pop is undoubtedly Eleven with Eggos, instantly recognizable in her Season 1 outfit. Pink dress, check. Cropped hair, check. Nose bleed, check. She’s even chowing down on some Eggos, presumably smash and grabbed from the Hawkins supermarket.
2. Demogorgon Funko Pop
Straight from Eleven to her Season 1 nemesis, the fearsome (and some argue faintly yonic) Demogorgon Funko Pop. With its mottled skin and enormous, fleshy, toothy maw, this is probably one of the more terrifying Funko Pops you can buy and a very good likeness of the Stranger Things Demogorgon.
3. Demogorgon Special Edition
The regular Demogorgon Funko might be scary, but let’s be honest, that brownish-reddish color combination is a bit of an eyesore. Luckily you can add a splash of color to your model with the Demogorgon Special Edition Funko Pop.
Who knew that, with a bit of UV light, the Demogorgon would light up like some tropical Rafflesia plant? It’d be perfect to throw some shapes on the dancefloor of your local EDM club if it wasn’t so prone to eviscerating and eating every human it sees…
4. Ghostbuster Dustin Funko Pop
Of the original Stranger Things kids quartet, Dustin is probably the standout star (sorry Mike, Will, and Lucas) and the Ghostbuster Dustin Funko Pop is by far our favorite of his many figurine variants.
There are plenty of different Dustin Funko Pops worth checking out, but if you want something a bit different, why not nab this version of him in his finest, apparition-catching Halloween attire?
5. Steve With Ice Cream Funko Pop
That Scoops Ahoy costume from Season 3 really is ridiculous, but if anyone can pull off the look, perhaps it’s the Steve with Ice Cream Funko Pop. It’s simply the best outfit for infiltrating top-secret Russian bases, especially when you’re also armed with deadly ice cream.
6. Nancy with Gun Funko Pop
Or maybe an actual weapon would be a better choice. Nancy began her transition to monster-fighting badass by proving herself a natural sharpshooter in Stranger Things Season 1, so we reckon the Nancy with Gun Funko Pop captures her essence pretty well.
And now she apparently stashes guns at her house. Unexpected. Her Funko Pop is quite hard to find, but it’s a good one if you can get it.
7. Will the Wise Funko Pop
With the exception of Billy, who kind of deserved it, Will is probably the character who has the least pleasant time throughout the Stranger Things series. For that reason, we reckon the Will the Wise Funko Pop is his best figurine, showing him in his tabletop RPG-playing happy place.
You can find models of him all pallid and grey in the Upside Down if that’s what you prefer, but why not go for this Funko Pop where he’s having a jolly nice time pretending to be a DnD Wizard?
8. Max Mall Outfit Funko Pop
Max was a fantastic addition to the gang in Stranger Things Season 2, instantly impressing with her skateboard and arcade game skills, before going through turmoil and loss in Season 3, and finally running up that hill in Season 4.
Her Max Mall Outfit Funko Pop shows her at peak happy kid, capturing the joy of just going to the mall with friends. She’s rocking the red shades, ready to tear up The Starcourt Mall with Eleven in Funko Pop form.
