Funko Pop! vinyl figures continue to be a mainstay of collectors' shelves, holiday shopping guides, and stores everywhere.

To help you separate the good vinyl figures from the bad, we've put together a guide to the best toys you can get for that Funk Pop Christmas gift list.

Excelsior! Rarely do Funko Pops come off as distinguished, but this Stan Lee figurine matches the late legend himself and is an excellent purchase for any Marvel fan.

Sure, Han Solo looks like a traditional Funko Pop, but he’s in the cockpit of a wonderfully recreated Millennium Falcon. This is by far one of the coolest and largest Funko Pops ever made, and it includes one of the most iconic characters in pop culture. Exclusive to Amazon, this Pop is more expensive than most, but it should still be a key part of your Funko collection.

So Shazam’s white cape doesn’t look as short on this tiny Pop as it did in the recent, very funny movie (check out the Shazam GameSpot review). Nevertheless, the cape remains cool, just like Shazam. The $8.36 (normally $11) Pop is a great gift for DC fans in your life.

Spider-Ham, the breakout star of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, holds a fierce pose in his Funko Pop debut. Spider-Ham would make a great Avenger, don’t you think? Technically a Walgreens exclusive, you can pick up Spider-Ham at Amazon for $36.40.

Oh my goodness, this 10-inch Charmander Pop is ridiculously cute. Just look at those four little teeth. This big, very good boy is exclusive to Target and somewhat hard to find. A regular-sized version of the same Pop is widely available for about $8 if you don’t want to spend $30 on giant baby Charmander.

Gears 5 is one of the best games of the year, and a large reason for that is Kait, the compelling protagonist at the center of the story. This nicely detailed $9.92 Pop is great for any Gears fans in your life.

Avengers: Endgame Thanos is the best Thanos. This stoic, fully suited up version of the Mad Titan is an awesome piece for Marvel fans. Over at Amazon, you can apply a coupon and get Endgame Thanos starting at $8.78.

The Rise of Skywalker is around the corner, and that means more brooding Kylo Ren. He’s less brooding without his mouth as a Funko Pop, but this figure still harbors some angst.

Larger (rather appropriately) than the average Pop, Godzilla is a well-designed figure from head to toe. With the recent resurgence of the iconic kaiju franchise, Godzilla collectibles and toys will probably become more popular. This Pop is a good place to start, but since it's in short supply, Godzilla costs $63 right now.

There are numerous Pennywise Pops depicting the killer clown in a bunch of different poses. This particular It Chapter 2-themed one is great because it looks ripped straight from the recent adaptations with Pennywise holding the red balloon. His slight head tilt provides a nice, menacing touch. Pennywise and his balloon can be on a shelf near you for $13.

CD Projekt Red’s wondrous The Witcher 3 recently landed on Nintendo Switch, opening up the grand adventure to a score of new players. Grab the determined looking Pop version of Geralt for $38.95.

Monster Hunter fans will love this Rathalos Pop, which depicts the King of the Skies in mid-lunge, ready to strike. Rathalos makes for a wicked Pop, and it's available for just $8.78.

God of War may be last year’s news, but it’s hard to stop thinking about the compelling father-and-son tale. Now you can bring the pair home with this combo pack. The double-pack is pretty rare right now, but you can purchase the pair separately for much cheaper.

How about a Disney Pop? Disney is entering the streaming service arena with Disney Plus. As the company looks toward the future, glimpse back to its early days with this adorable black and white Steamboat Willie Pop.

Regardless of how you feel about the final season of Game of Thrones, it’s hard to deny that this Daenerys and Drogon Pop is pretty darn cool. While the standard retail price is $30, Amazon has it listed for $14.90.

It's of course proven to be one of the most popular figures of the holiday season, as The Mandalorian kicks off the Disney Plus fun. This title character Pop is a great and super timely gift for any Star Wars fans in your life.

With Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order releasing this holiday, protagonist Cal Kestis will be in the forefront of both Star Wars fans and action game enthusiasts. Cal Kestis’ Pop version is quite cute, but the BD-1 drone standing beside him is even cuter. The Cal Kestis Pop is $14.70.

2019 saw a double dose of Captain Marvel with her title movie and Avengers: Endgame. Captain Marvel’s Pop has a ton of character that matches the determination of the heroine herself. It's available for the low price of $7 at Amazon.

Most certainly not trash, this Forky Pop radiates good energy. The Toy Story 4 icon will likely want to be used for “soup, salad, and maybe chili,” but don’t toss this Pop in the garbage can afterward.

With Spider-Man back in the MCU, this $11 Spider-Man: Far From Home Funko Pop is way less depressing. Plus, he’s in his natural wall-climbing habitat.
