Great attention to detail
Vivid colors
Cute, unique mall outfit design
Durable
Comes with a little shopping bag in hand
Several buyers received damaged boxes
Elle (or Eleven) is one of the most noble and interesting super-powered characters out there. In Season 3 of Stranger Things, we get to see her experiencing childhood for the first time. This mall outfit is an iconic scene in the series in which, for the very first time, she gets to pick her own clothes and discover what her personal taste is like. If you know fans of the show, they’ll appreciate what a pivotal Pop figure this is.
Read moreDesign
Delightfully set in the 80’s, some of Stranger Things’ charm comes from it’s nods towards nostalgia. This adorable little romper is evidence of that and a fun, funky look that Elle certainly pulls off. The figure stands at 3.75”.
Entertainment Value
The third season of Stranger Things didn’t just pass the Bechdel Test; it essentially rewrote it. Filled to the brim with strong female characters driving much of this season’s plot, it’s no wonder Pop figures like this one are climbing in popularity.
Value
Eleven is just a little more expensive than our average, but not by much. And given what a hit the television show is, we think this figure will only appreciate with time.

One of the Harry Potter main characters

A wonderful collectible for Harry Potter fans
Part of a set of these figurines
Comes in a display box with a window
Paint job may not be great
Damaged boxes
We highlight all of the Harry Potter statues of this well-known toy brand because they all made the best-rated list that customers are raving about. Dobby is not one of the movie’s human characters, but he is an important element that makes an adorable toy figure.
Read moreDesign
He is 3 ¾ inches in height and a wonderful collectible for Harry Potter fans and enthusiasts. This excellent replica comes in a display box with a window and is part of a set of these figurines. He has the huge ears, pointed nose, and button black eyes and is wearing a tan shirt and holding a gray sock.

The display boxes are sometimes just a treasured as much as the bodies themselves for these particular toys. Collectors may keep them in the boxes, so it is important that they are not damaged.
Value
Dobby is nestled right in the average pocket of our guide when it comes to price. Equipped with the sock that buys him his freedom, this little figure is a great homage to the arc in The Chamber of Secrets.
7. The Flash
Detailed costume design
Truly resembles television portrayal
Durable
Other characters in this line are also easily available
Some customers received damaged boxes which is bad news for collectors
Modeled after the Barry Allen of CW’s hit show, this little figure gives an old hero a new look. The suit still stays true to some of the aesthetic choices of the original (the lightning bolt emblem on his chest, the red and gold color palette) but this Flash looks a little older and a little edgier.
Read moreDesign
Standing at 3.75”, this figurine is rich with color and a detailed suit design. There are options to purchase other Flash characters as well if you want a collection dedicated to the television show.
Entertainment Value
If you’re a collector, this is a solid piece to have, especially given how much it resembles Grant Gustin, the actor portraying Barry Allen on the show. If your child likes playing with these, this is a cool, slightly edgier-looking flash that may appeal to a wider age range.
Value
Flash is pricier than our average, but certainly not one of the most expensive collectibles out there. The other three figures associated with this television show are on the high end of the scale, though.
8. The Little Mermaid Ariel
Part of the Little Mermaid series
Has the beautiful red hair with a purple hairbow
Is dressed in a gorgeous light teal color
Comes in a gift-giving collector box

The large black button eyes have cute eyelash marks to make her very pretty along with her tiny pointed nose.
Entertainment Value
The large black button eyes of this figure and the others in this toy series let you know you have an original toy from the maker along with the large disproportional head.
Value
This is one of the pricier items on our list and that makes sense given Ariel’s current popularity. Between the ABC Live showing and Disney’s rebooted Live Action Little Mermaid, you’ll be seeing a lot of this princess pretty soon!
9. Lion King's Simba
Realistic design
Hilarious, cute sculpted face
Holding a grub from the movie
Modeled after original cartoon Simba
One customer received a smashed box but the figurine was in good condition
He just can’t wait to be king, and collectors all over just can’t wait to get their hands on him! This darling Simba Pop Funko figurine is depicted eating one of the bugs Timon and Pumba offer him at the beginning of their friendship. With the recent live action remake, we’re stoked to see Simba topping the charts again.

The bug even has little ridges on it; Funko rarely disappoints when it comes to the detail of their products. This figurine’s face is another hilarious bonus; it’s hard not to smile, looking at this young cub about to try his first grub. This figure stands at 3.75” tall.
Entertainment Value
It’s modeled after the classic animated movie but we think that’s some of what makes this little guy so endearing. It’s great for collectors, but children who just want a fun, cute Simba play figurine will also get a kick out of this.
Value
Simba is priced beneath the median. If you are or know a Lion King fan, this is a steal!
