10 Best Pop Vinyls (Review) In 2021

It wouldn’t be a list of the best Pop Vinyls without one of the most iconic scenes from Avenger: Endgame. The Funko Avengers Endgame: I Am Iron Man Glow-in-The-Dark Deluxe Vinyl Figure encapsulates the strange combination of joy and heartbreak that occurs once Tony Stark eliminates Thanos once and for all, and if you consider that a spoiler, the movie is over a year old, guys.

The Battle-damaged style takes you right back to the moment, while the Glow-in-the-Dark Arc Reactor and Infinity Stones offer something slightly more than what you get from your standard Pop Vinyl Figure. Tony also stands defiant on a sculpted terrain base that boasts incredible detail, giving you further memories about the biggest crossover event in history. He stands (or rather kneels) 4 inches tall, meaning you’ll be able to find a place for him on your bookshelf, even if that means getting rid of a few of your books. If you want to keep him in pristine condition, the figure comes in a Collector-friendly window display box, so he appreciates in value as the years go on. 

The fastest hunk of junk in the Galaxy and the Galaxy’s favorite rogue are finally reunited, and that’s what makes the Funko Pop! Deluxe: Star Wars – Millennium Falcon with Han Solo one of the best Pop Vinyls eager collectors can get their hands on. It includes the iconic Falcon in stunning detail that makes you feel you’re piloting the ship right alongside Han and Chewie themselves. Here, you have Han Solo at the helm, directing the ship through the Galaxy, or perhaps on the run from one of Jabba’s many minions on trash planets.

It stands 5.5 inches tall and 10.5 inches wide, while the bobblehead feature is something that causes some controversy among the community, but for casuals, it’s always a fun addition. To ensure consistent quality, for this Amazon Exclusive, it comes in a sturdy Window Display box that means you can protect it from dust and curious sticky hands when young relatives come over to play.

Back in 2019, the Mandalorian burst onto the scene. Initially, people attracted to the armor similar to everyone’s favorite bounty hunter Boba Fett, but Mando soon played second fiddle to someone, or perhaps something else. The Funko Pop! Star Wars: The Mandalorian – The Child celebrates this.

While he may be more commonly known as Baby Yoda, The Child captured the imagination of viewers all over. Unlike Jar Jar Binks, people embraced this character, and so dreams and memes came out in full force. This Funko Pop is a unique 10” Supersized figure, which could easily be larger than the actual child, and the clean paint job and pristine detail combine everything to make it a cute and lovable figure. It comes with a Display box so you can show him off to the world on your gaming desk, or you can take him out, just make sure he doesn’t get too close to any frogs hopping around your yard after a rainfall.

Some of the very best Funko Pop Vinyl figures can only be found as exclusives, and the Funko Pop! Animation: Dragonball Z – Vegeta Eating Noodles is an example of this. As a Spring Convention Exclusive, you will struggle to find an authentic model anywhere else, and if this doesn’t pique your interest, we’re not sure what will.

Standing 3.75 inches tall, this figure is the perfect gift for gamers who grew up loving Dragonball Z and its many, many later iterations. Vegeta wears the iconic Battle Armor designed by wife Bulma and worn during the Cell games and beyond, and he also sports the classic annoyed expression that makes him such a popular character even now. As with all Pop Vinyls, he comes in a window display box to keep him in pristine condition and perhaps stops him from picking fights with Kakarot.

The Funko Pop! Deluxe, Marvel: Avengers Assemble Series – Hulk is an Amazon Exclusive that is number 2 of 6 special Avengers designs that fit perfectly together to create the greatest team ever, um, assembled. It is a highly detailed model that you don’t find with all Funko Pops, and the platform means he can stand freely without the risk of being too top-heavy. Hulk stands 5.5 inches tall across a base that’s 5 inches wide and 4 inches deep, meaning there’s plenty of space for him to nestle in amongst his teammates.

You don’t have to link him up with other Deluxe Avengers models, though, and if you’re concerned about waking up to a destroyed room with all your finest China scattered along the floor, it might be best for you to keep Hulk secure inside his window display box, just in case.

The Funko Pop! Movies: John Wick – John in Black Suit with Dog Buddy may not come with the high-octane thrills that each movie did, but that shouldn’t mean it’s not a perfect addition to your collection. John himself is 3.75 inches tall, and he also comes with his Dog buddy that he unites with at the end of the first movie. This is something unique with Funko Pops, as you rarely get a two-for-one deal, making it something difficult to resist.

The fixed head design is something that plenty of Pop Vinyl fans will love, and this also means he’s capable of standing with no support. There is also comes in a window display box to keep everything safe and protect John and his dog from any nasty thieves or assassins trying to ruin their harmony.

The Funko Pop!: Pokemon – Squirtle is perfect for fans of the original generation of Pokemon games and the anime, and it serves as the final piece of the Starter Pokemon set that began with Bulbasaur and Charmander. Squirtle is 3.75 inches tall, which is the same as both other Starter Pokemon, even if it doesn’t look that way from the pictures. His cute face is just like what you remember before he evolved into the leaner, meaner Wartortle, and the careful painting looks just like what you remember from your childhood.

As ever, there’s a window display box, and if you feel like it, you can even buy more than one to create your very own Squirtle Squad, if you can handle the mischief they will undoubtedly get up to.  This is an item that will definitely look amazing next to your comics or even your business books.

For lovers of the Golden Age of Hollywood, the Funko Pop! Icons: Marilyn Monroe is a superb addition to any collection, and it brings with it the class and elegance that Norma Jean brought with every stolen scene. At 3.75 inches tall, she won’t look out of place amongst other classic movie figures that are part of the Icons line that is becoming more and more popular. She’s also kitted out in that iconic white dress, which even people who never knew she existed will have some memory of, even if they saw it elsewhere.

Marilyn is a fixed head figure rather than the bobblehead you find with Star Wars and Marvel alternatives, and while you won’t be aching to agree with your every musing, she will still give your shelves the classy appeal that can only come from one of Hollywood’s greatest personalities.

Arguably the coolest of the X-Men (sorry Logan), the Funko POP Marvel: X-Men Classic–Gambit w/ Cards delivers both badassery and style with a unique design that’s much more than the simple stand-and-look-good appeal that many other figures have.

Here, Gambit comes with his very dynamic battle pose and is stylized with Power Cards that make him instantly recognizable to even the most casual X-Men fans. His bobblehead design is something that may upset a few of you, but as it’s something we’ve come to expect from Marvel Pops, you can hardly complain too much. To top it all off, Gambit can stay safe and sound in a window display box, which could certainly come in handy should a certain Mr. Stryker come-a-calling once more, especially if you don’t have a Wolverine figure for backup.

There are few Pop Vinyl figures that would appeal to everybody all over the world, but the Funko Pop! AD Icons: Coca-Cola – Polar Bear is just that, which makes it the perfect Christmas gift. After all, it is the sign that Christmas is just around the corner, so why not celebrate the holidays with something that is almost as recognizable and Saint Nick himself?

At 3.75 inches tall, Polar Bear blends in perfectly with your existing Pop Vinyls, and if you’re just starting your collection, there are few better figures to begin with than this. His super cute design will get everybody in the Christmas spirit (and perhaps even a little thirsty), while the cheery demeanor can improve even the most depressing December. There are lots of little details, including realistic molding for the fur as well as the soles and toes. If it arrives a little early for Christmas, the Window Display box will keep him safe until the sleigh bells start ringing.
