Freddy Funko: company mascot and template for thousands of dolls.
Funko Pops (stylized as Funko Pop!) are a line of vinyl figures from Funko. The pops are well known for their signature Black Bead Eyes and Super-Deformed appearance. They were first introduced in 2010, and since then thousands of Pops have been released.
At E3 2018, it was announced that the toyline would receive its first mobile game tie-in with Gears Pop!, a spin-off of the Gears of War franchise. In September 2020, Funko Pop! Blitz, a Match-Three Game, was released. Funko Fusion, an Action-Adventure video game developed by 10:10 games, is set to release in 2024.
In 2019, a film based on the figures was announced to be in the works, being developed at Warner Bros. A story is reportedly being written by Teddy Newton (Day & Night) and Mark Dindal (The Emperor's New Groove, Cats Don't Dance). However, no further news has come about the project since, leaving its fate in question for the time being.

Tropes pertaining to Funko Pops:
- Adapted Out: Sometimes, fairly major characters won't have a Pop in a line while fairly minor ones (One Scene Wonders especially) will get one.
- Anthropomorphic Food: One line has characters from the Marvel Universe as gingerbread people.
- Similarly, there is a line for characters from The DCU as gingerbread people.
- One line fittingly features The Nightmare Before Christmas's main characters as gingerbread people.
- Art Evolution: The early Pop figures look rather simple compared to the more recent ones. For example, here's the first
◊ Thor Pop tying into his first movie, and here's a later one◊ tying in to Avengers: Age of Ultron. In the 2020s, Pops would get expanded upon with the likes of Pop! Deluxe, Pop! Moments, and Pop! Covers, which feature more detailed molds. - Art Imitates Art: There's an ensemble reproducing the famous painting of George Washington crossing the Delaware.
- Black Bead Eyes: The defining trait of most Pop figures.
- Calacas: The Dia De Los DC series figures are Día de los Muertos-themed characters from The DCU.
- Canon Foreigner: The Mystery Science Theater 3000 series includes a Pop of "Tom Serv-Crow", a fusion of Tom Servo and Crow T. Robot. Such a fusion never appeared in the show itself.
- Early-Installment Weirdness: Early DC Extended Universe figures are in "Heroes" whereas the more recent ones (except Wonder Woman 1984) are in "Movies".
- Expy: The first Pop Rocks figure was Jimi Hendrix dressed in purple...except, it wasn't. It was just a Hendrix-looking guy called "Purple Haze". This may have been done to circumvent the notoriously tight image rights. Subverted later on, when Funko released genuine, estate-approved Pops of him.
- Imperial China: The DC Comics line of figures called "Imperial Palace", which is made of superheroes from The DCU dressed in medieval Chinese armors.
- Nerd Hoard: Their ubituity and pulling from a wide variety of classic Geek Reference Pool sources has given them a place in most nerdy collections.
- No Mouth: A trait of most figures, mainly the humanoid ones. Some figures keep their mouths, though.
- Non-Standard Character Design:
- Certain characters simply don't work in the normal Super-Deformed / Black Bead Eyes style since they're not humanoid, and may be given a different body or eyes. It's particularly the case for animals, with countless examples such as the dragons◊ of Game of Thrones or Alligator Loki◊ from Loki.
- Due to licensing issues with Hasbro (which uses its Mighty Muggs line to presumably cover the vinyl figure license), the Marvel Comics and Star Wars Pops are bobbleheads rather than static figures. The Star Wars ones also come on black bases, although they can be removed for consistency with other series.
- Since Jan Brady's imaginary boyfriend George Glass didn't exist until A Very Brady Sequel, his TV-based Funko Pop doesn't exist either, leaving a big empty space in the Jan Brady & George Glass 2-Pack (the only way to get either character).
- Certain characters simply don't work in the normal Super-Deformed / Black Bead Eyes style since they're not humanoid, and may be given a different body or eyes. It's particularly the case for animals, with countless examples such as the dragons
- Oddball in the Series:
- The Pops for The Boxtrolls, Heavy Metal, and Coraline are part of the "Animation" series rather than the "Movies" series (though seeing how the numbers of the Boxtrolls Pops match up with the missing 119-121 in the "Movies" series, it's likely they were meant to go there, but for whatever reason didn't).
- The various Pops based on Western Animation that are part of the "Television" series rather than the "Animation" series.
- The "Heroes" and "Movies" series have Pops of Domo cosplaying as the Justice League and Ghostbusters characters.
- The BFG, TRON, and Gravity Falls Pops are part of the "Movies" and "Animation" lines rather than the "Disney" one.
- The Mars Attacks! Pops are in the "Sci-Fi" line; to date, they're the only figures represented in that line.
- The "Heroes" line is mostly reserved for DC Comics characters, though non-DC characters such as Judge Dredd, Gabriel, and The Phantom have figures in the line as well. It's likely the "Comics" line was added so that other non-DC and Marvel comics characters could get their due.
- Sharknado is part of the "Television" line rather than "Movies". Though it IS a Made-for-TV Movie.
- The Adventure Time/Minecraft Pops are in the "Animation" series when they had previously been in the "Television" series.
- Original Generation: Freddy Funko, Funko's personal mascot.
- Super-Deformed: The signature style of the figures, besides the Black Bead Eyes. The big heads really "pop" out, don't ya think?
- Toyline-Exclusive Character: There's a Pop of Roger Moore's James Bond wearing a space suit for Moonraker. He never dons one in the film itself, the figure is based off the famous promo shots Moore did wearing it as well as the film's posters.
