Funko’s New Stranger Things 5 Pops Are Basically a Tease We Didn’t Know We Needed

If the wait for Stranger Things Season 5, Volume 2 feels especially brutal, Funko is here with a very Hawkins-approved distraction.Ahead of the show’s highly anticipated return, Funko has officially revealed a brand-new wave of Stranger Things Pop! figures, and yes, they’re already fueling theories, timelines, and plenty of emotional spirals.

This latest lineup brings back some of our most beloved characters, including Will, Eleven, Max, and more, each captured in signature Funko style with details that feel… suspiciously specific. Whether it’s a familiar outfit, a certain expression, or a pose that seems a little too intentional, these Pops! feel less like cute collectibles and more like subtle clues. Take a look!

Naturally, fans immediately went into detective mode. Character poses, outfits, and expressions are already being dissected across social media, with many wondering which details are purely aesthetic and which might actually hint at major story beats. (Because if Stranger Things has taught us anything, it’s that nothing is accidental.)

And in a very meta moment, the collectibles didn’t just debut online. The Pops! made a surprise appearance last night on The Tonight Show, where Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer used the figures during their segment to tease Season 5. Naturally, the internet went full detective mode. Fans are already debating what each figure might mean for the story’s final stretch, breaking down everything from character placement to wardrobe choices. Because at this point, we all know Stranger Things doesn’t do “random.”You can check out more photos the show posted on Instagram here.
