This year has been a very busy one for Funko, however with some 2991 Pops listed on the Funko app for this year, it has actually only been the 4th busiest year for pops, with much of their business coming from all their other products this year from masks and Christmas tree decorations to digital pops and getting involved with online games.
As you can imagine choosing the original 20 I wanted to choose was pretty tough going, so that became 25 and I decided to stop at 30! I have to say that most of their better work this year in my opinion came in the last quarter of the year.
Now this is just my own personal list of which pops I like most from 2021 – I’m not interested in to getting in to a discussion about why you think I’m wrong… but what I would LOVE to see is what your favourites were from the year to see if I missed any!

Oh nice, which ones? A lot of these haven’t made it over to the uk or have insane reseller prices over here… I do moan a bit about the rate of things being released by funko lol bit I have to say that the pops in the second half of this year have really had some absolute beauties amongst them!
