I wasn't a fan of Funko Pops when they first started coming out. I understood their appeal. The charm of owning a highly stylized version of a beloved character, the cuteness of having it right on your shelf, and the quiet joy of having another collectible to show off. But I've accepted the fact that Funko Pops aren't for me. Things changed when my father gave me a gift. interview with a vampire Funko Pop. Suddenly there was a click.
Since then I've picked up Funkos tied to IPs that have left their mark on me. at glass!!! on ice to Baldur's Gate 3My collection is small, intentional and very personal. So, I'm excited to announce that my little ensemble is now set to grow into four Funkos. oncoming dungeons and dragons The Funko Pop lineup will be released in March 2026. Some retailers, like Hop Topic, will begin shipping pre-orders in late February. Conveniently, this number falls right before my birthday, which I take as a little wink from the universe.
these coming D&D Funkos are released with typical Faerunian flair. It has all of the unique features that any super geek like me would be proud of. Even the most discerning desk geek will enjoy this, as this is no ordinary figure. And after much thought, here are my upcoming official rankings. dungeons and dragons Funko Pops.

Pop! Strad (Shapechanger)
The Funkos I collect tend to fall into one of two categories: fandom and vampires. That's why I'm heartbroken that Pop! Strahd is at the bottom of this list. To be clear, I like this version of Count Strahd von Zarovich. However, this vampire lord from Barovia performs far better than the other standouts in the March 2026 lineup.
In other words, pop! Strahd stands out from the typical Funko Pop. He sports decorated armor and daggers befitting a menacing vampire lord who has struck fear into the hearts of his tenants for four centuries. But the most notable feature of this figure is the swarm of bats under his right hand. in Curse of StrahdCount von Zarovich is famous for being able to use his Shapechange ability to transform into a bat, a wolf, or a cloud of fog. So even though he got smaller by 4 inches, he still D&D's most powerful villain.

Pop! blue dragon earth dragon
The Blue Dragon Wyrmling is the cutest thing I've seen since an owlbear cub. With its large eyes, light blue scales, and stance that feels more curious than menacing, it captures the perfect middle ground between 'little terror' and 'dude look.' Like other baby creatures, wyrmlings already exist at the intersection of danger and innocence, and Funko fully leans into that duality here. It's attractive, expressive and instantly recognizable.
That said, this pop ranks #3 on my list for a very specific reason. That is, because it stands out too much. Unlike the character-based pop that slots neatly into the lineup, Blue Dragon Wyrmling is just a dragon. There are no humanoid frames, no familiar faces, no brief narratives like how the heroes or villains are named. For collectors who prefer traditional Funko silhouettes, these differences may be a deal breaker. but D&D Pan? It's a great addition.

Pop! Balindra Shadowmantle
Whenever the Arcane Brotherhood appears D&D When you come, pipe down and listen. I actually wrote about my first guild because I found it fascinating for so long. BG3 Tab’s backstory. When I found out that Valindra Shadowmantle, the Arcane Brotherhood's most infamous Archmage of the North, was getting her own Funko Pop, the knowledge-obsessed fangirl in me squealed.
For those of you who, unlike me, haven't taken the time to research fictional wizard guilds, let me fill in the blanks. If you have ever combed your hair D&D In the video game, Valindra was the mastermind behind the attacks on Neverwinter and its surrounding areas. And Funko Pop immortalizes her in the form of terrible moss. With torn robes to match her elf-turned-necromancer and a crown to herald her standing within a dangerous guild, Valindra's Funko Pop is an incredible must-have for anyone. D&D Pan. Adding to the visual splendor, the transparent base gives the feeling of floating in the air. I'm literally stabbing myself as I type this.

Pop! Premium Spider Queen Rolls
I'm as obsessed with Drow as the next person. dungeons and dragons Pan. I think the Drow are fascinating, and the foundation of this story is ripe for creating compelling characters. But all cultural nuances, motivations, and theocracy stem from the evil-minded Spider Queen. Lolth isn't just random. D&D god. She is the heart of the entire race. The only reason for their infighting, rigidity and suffocating matriarchy. And Funko knocked it right out of the park with their depiction of Lolth.
Funko created a statue similar to Lolth with meticulous attention to detail. In fact, even her cute appearance closely matches the canon character design, as all of her renditions include the head of a beautiful Drow woman. With scary spider legs and predatory hands to match, this Funko Pop balances uniqueness and tradition in the best way possible. This is why it sits proudly at the top of my list.
