The fall release season is always the busiest time of year for Funko collectors, and Fall 2025 is shaping up to be one of the biggest in the company’s history. Between major film releases, anniversary celebrations, and surprise license announcements, the next few months will see hundreds of new figures hit shelves. Here is your comprehensive guide to the drops that matter most.
Marvel: Phase Six Begins
Marvel’s Phase Six kicks off in late 2025, and Funko is launching an enormous wave of figures to coincide. The Fantastic Four line is the headline release, featuring the entire team in their classic blue suits plus a chase variant of The Thing in his trench coat disguise. Early photos show exceptional sculpt detail, particularly on Mr. Fantastic’s stretching arm effect.
Deadpool 3 tie-in figures are also dropping, including what may be the most anticipated Pop of the year: Deadpool in a Wolverine costume. This figure was teased at SDCC 2025 and immediately became the most talked-about reveal of the convention. With a limited production run rumored at 15,000 pieces, expect this to sell out within hours.
The Marvel animated series lineup continues with X-Men ’97 Season 2 figures. Morph, Cable, and Bishop join the existing roster, with Morph featuring a translucent morphing effect that collectors are already calling a must-have. These are shared exclusives through Hot Topic and BoxLunch.
Star Wars: The Acolyte and Beyond
Star Wars collectors have plenty to look forward to this fall. The Acolyte television series gets its first Pop wave, featuring the mysterious Master Sol, Mae with her distinctive helmet, and a stunning 10-inch Stranger figure with glowing red eyes. The Stranger in particular has generated enormous buzz due to its size and menacing presence.
The 20th anniversary of Revenge of the Sith is being celebrated with a special retro-style line featuring metallic paint applications on key characters. General Grievous with four lightsabers is the standout—a figure that fans have requested for years and which finally delivers on the character’s potential.
Andor Season 2 tie-in figures drop in November, including a two-pack of Cassian and B2EMO that recreates their iconic partnership. The B2EMO figure is notably detailed for a droid Pop, with weathering effects and articulated antennae.
Anime: The Continued Expansion
Funko’s anime line has grown exponentially, and Fall 2025 continues that trend. Demon Slayer Season 4 figures include Muichiro Tokito and Gyomei Himejima, both in dynamic action poses that push the boundaries of the Pop format. Gyomei in particular is impressive—a 6-inch figure wielding his massive spiked flail with a transparent speed effect.
Jujutsu Kaisen continues with the Shinjuku Showdown arc, featuring Sukuna in his true form and a special edition Gojo with hollow purple effect. The Sukuna figure is already being called one of the most detailed anime Pops ever produced, with intricate tattoos and a four-armed sculpt.
The surprise anime announcement of the season is a complete Cowboy Bebop line. Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, Faye Valentine, and Ed with Ein are all coming, plus a chase variant of Spike in his red suit. This license has been highly requested for years, and the first photos suggest Funko did not disappoint.
Disney: 100 Years of Wonder Continues
Disney’s centennial celebration extends into Fall 2025 with several major releases. The most significant is a complete Princess and the Frog line, featuring Tiana in multiple outfits, Dr. Facilier with shadow spirits effect, and a 6-inch Louis the Alligator playing jazz trumpet. The Louis figure is notable for being one of the largest standard-line Pops ever produced.
Pixar gets attention with Inside Out 2 follow-up figures, including new emotions Anxiety, Envy, and Embarrassment. Anxiety is already generating collector interest due to her chaotic orange color scheme and frazzled pose. These are commons, so availability should be strong.
The surprise Disney drop is a limited-edition run of classic Mickey Mouse black-and-white figures. Released in October for Mickey’s birthday, these monochrome figures recreate his earliest animated appearances. Each figure is individually numbered, making them instant collectibles.
Television and Streaming
Television-based Pops continue to perform well. The Boys Season 5 line features Homelander with laser eyes effect, a translucent Translucent variant, and a gruesome Soldier Boy with melted face. These are obviously aimed at adult collectors and will be sold through specialty retailers.
Stranger Things returns with final season figures, including Eleven in her full powers form, Vecna with extended tentacles, and a heartbreaking Eddie Munson with guitar. The Eddie figure is a shared Hot Topic exclusive and is expected to sell out immediately based on the character’s enduring popularity.
Ad Icons and Retro
The ad icon line expands with international cereal mascots: Nesquik Bunny, Tony the Tiger in his classic design, and Toucan Sam. These are commons but should develop strong collector interest, particularly the Tony the Tiger retro variant.
Funko is also launching a “Decades” retro line featuring characters in 70s, 80s, and 90s-inspired designs. The 80s subline includes a neon-colored He-Man, a Michael Jackson in Thriller jacket, and a Pac-Man arcade cabinet diorama. The 90s subline features a Tommy Pickles with Reptar toy, a Fresh Prince, and a Pogs-playing kid that is both nostalgic and bizarre.
Convention and Shared Exclusives
NYCC 2025 exclusives will drop in early October. Confirmed figures include a glow-in-the-dark Batman Who Laughs, a chrome Thanos with completed Infinity Gauntlet, and a flocked Appa from Avatar: The Last Airbender. These will be available at the convention and through shared retailers.
Black Friday brings its own exclusives, traditionally focused on Star Wars and Marvel. This year’s rumor mill suggests a chrome Mandalorian with darksaber, a holiday sweater Deadpool, and a metallic Iron Man MK-1. While unconfirmed, the track record for Black Friday exclusives makes these worth watching.
Buying Strategy for Fall 2025
With so many releases, budget discipline is essential. My recommendation: prioritize the figures tied to characters you genuinely love, and be strategic about exclusives. Commons will restock; exclusives will not. If a convention piece matters to you, plan to buy it during release week rather than waiting for secondary market prices to climb.
For vaulted lines receiving new waves—Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, The Boys—consider completing your existing collections before prices surge. New media attention often drives renewed interest in older figures from the same franchise.
Fall 2025 is going to be expensive for serious collectors. But it is also going to be one of the most exciting release seasons in years. Plan your purchases, set your alerts, and may the chase odds be ever in your favor.
