"Stranger Things" Newest Wave of Funko Pop Vinyls Arrive [Review]
Stranger Things Season 3 had its newest wave a Funko Pop's drop. I was able to finally find both after some quite intensive collectible hunting. So let us take a look at the newest wave of Stranger Things Funko Pops in this review. This is a pretty small wave of Stranger Things Funko Pop's to drop. I would mainly say that this is a mini wave and only for spoilers of the show. A lot of the time, Funko only makes the first wave of Pop vinyl from what we see in the trailer. We are finally able to get our hands on the newest wave of Stranger Things Funko figures with Alexei and Robin.
Alexie is a new fan favorite of the Stranger Things Season 3 and I'm glad that they turned him into his own collectible. The box is pretty simple with the normal Popified version of the character on the front and side with the newest wave of figures on the back. Alexei himself is pretty nice with his Icee in hand. He was honestly quite hard to find, most stores I went to sold out within the hour after opening. Test your luck and try to find him yourself, he would have been a perfect character to be made exclusive.
Next, we have everyone's favorite Scoops Ahoy employee Robin. This isn't the first Robin Funko Pop figure to come out, as the first one came out last summer during a Funko Fundays in the special Steve and Robin 1800 limited edition attendee giveaway. So fans can now rejoice as she gets her own very first Stranger Things Season 3 common released figure. The box for her is also quite simple with her picture on the front, side and the newest wave of Stranger Things Pops on the back.
This figure is mainly used as a meme now so I'm not surprised Funko decide to make a Pop of her in this position. We get to see her holding the sign that says "You rule, You suck " with the tally going to suck. This is making fun of Steve Harrington's bad luck streak at Scoops Ahoy. The outfit is quite nice and I love the design that they put into the Scoops white outfit. I wish there was a lot more marketing done for the Scoops Ahoy franchise. We did get that cool Baskin Robbins ice cream exclusive Steve Funko figure through it though.
If you're a fan of Stranger Things or fans of Alexei and Rob then these are two must have Funko Pop figures for you. They are selling out fast at most retailers but you should be able to find them available online and located here. I'm sure this is not the last set of Stranger Things figures we will see and only time will tell what characters are made next.
