16. Stranger Things Funko Pops
It’s been almost a month since the second season of Stranger Things dropped on Netflix and a few things are clear. First, Jim Hopper is a gem. Second, the ’80s were a real good time. And third, the Stranger Things kids are ridiculously talented, on and off screen.
As it turns out, literally all of them can sing. When James Corden had the boys on his show, they became the hottest boy band since NSYNC (they were the best, don’t fight it). When Millie Bobby Brown stopped by The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, she went viral with her rap recap of season 1.
Unfortunately, the kids have yet to drop their own official mixtape. So, in the meantime, their smaller Funko Pop! selves will get Stranger Things fans through the holidays.
In the latest wave of the figurines, Funko honed in on the popularity of the kids in their Ghostbusters costumes. The set features all four boys in the outfit, along with Eleven rocking her new haircut.
The set also features a welcome newcomer to the group, Max. She’s featured with her skateboard in this wave, along with a Hot Topic exclusive figure showing her in costume. Of course, a true fan can’t forget about Winona Ryder. A new Joyce figure was also included in the wave.
The Pop! figures are an easy way to show love for the show, and mercifully not overcharged. They make the perfect desk buddies for a work station, and have a bit of an 80’s vibe to them. And with Christmas lights strung up for the holiday, they’re the perfect complement.
