Pop! Vinyl by Funko is one of the most recognizable and successful collectible toy lines in the world. Launched in 2010, these figures feature a distinctive design with oversized heads, small bodies, and minimal facial features, often with black, round eyes. The line covers a vast range of characters from movies, TV shows, video games, anime, sports, and pop culture. Despite their mass-market nature, Funko Pops have influenced the designer toy scene by popularizing vinyl collectibles, introducing mainstream audiences to the joy of collecting, and occasionally collaborating with artists for unique, stylized designs.
