Funko POP! UK: What You Actually Get for £13.99
Here is the thing nobody mentions about Funko POP UK listings: two figures at exactly the same price can be very different sizes. In our range, the Miles Morales 2020 Suit is 8.3cm and Kiba with Akamaru is 12.2cm. Both are £13.99. Both are just called “POP!”.
That is because POP! is not one product. It is a family of lines, and the line name is the part that tells you what you are getting.
The POP! lines, and what each one means
| Line | What it means | Our price |
|---|---|---|
| POP! Animation / Marvel / Games | The standard figure. Roughly 9–12cm depending on the character’s shape. | £13.99–£17.99 |
| POP! Super | Oversized. Around 15cm, for characters that need the bulk. | £23.99 |
| POP! Deluxe | Standard height, but sculpted as one bigger piece with an effect or scene built in. | £29.99 |
| POP! Rides Deluxe | Character plus a vehicle or a second figure on one base. | £29.99 |
| POP! Jumbo | The big one. 25.4cm — roughly two and a half times a standard POP!. | £34.99 |
| POP! 8-Bit | A retro pixel-styled deco on a standard body. | £13.99 |
Where the money actually goes
Moving up a line does not buy you more articulation — POP!s do not pose, and none of them ever will. It buys size or a sculpted extra.
The Deluxe Gojo at £29.99 is the clearest example of the Deluxe idea: the Hollow Purple sphere is part of the sculpt rather than a clip-on accessory, so it cannot be lost or misaligned. The Jumbo Luffy at £34.99 is the same figure logic at 25.4cm — a shelf centrepiece rather than one of a row.
At £23.99, POP! Super Hulk exists because a standard-size Hulk next to a standard-size Spider-Man looks wrong. Super is a scale fix, not a luxury tier.
Matched sets are the best value in the range
Funko releases characters in waves with a shared deco, and buying the wave rather than the character is where the format is at its best. Our five Demon Slayer Sumi-Ink POP!s — Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu, Inosuke and Rengoku — are £13.99 each and share an ink-wash finish, so the five together read as one piece rather than five.
The number on the box is more useful than it looks
Every POP! carries a number, and it is sequential within its line. That is worth knowing for two reasons.
First, consecutive numbers mean a wave. Our Demon Slayer Sumi-Ink figures are #2190 Tanjiro, #2191 Nezuko, #2193 Inosuke and #2194 Rengoku — a block, released together, designed to sit together. The two Daredevil: Born Again POP!s are #1578 and #1579 for the same reason. If you are buying more than one, buying within a number block is how you get a shelf that looks deliberate.
Second, the number tells you roughly how old a release is. Miles Morales 2020 Suit is #769. Jogo is #2127. Those are years apart in the same line, which matters if someone is trying to complete a set — the older the number, the harder it gets.
What a POP! will not do
Worth being plain about, because it is the most common disappointment. A POP! does not pose — the head turns and that is the extent of it. It is not a likeness of the character; it is a likeness of the POP! of the character, and the stylisation is the point rather than a compromise. And the box is part of the product for a lot of collectors, so it is worth keeping even if the figure comes out.
Is a POP! worth it?
For £13.99, it is the cheapest way to put a character someone likes on a shelf, it survives being knocked over, and it does not need a display case. What it will not do is pose, and it will not look like the character so much as look like a POP! of the character. If that matters to the person you are buying for, a Nendoroid at around £46 is the next step up.
Twenty-one of our twenty-three Funko POP! figures are in stock now and ship the same day if you order before 2pm.
