Pop Figures LTD was established in 2020 by a small team of geeky friends with a desire to achieve a global brand in the industry we all love, Pop Figures. With an ever-growing love for Vinyl Figures and ever decreasing room in the house to store our beloved Pop friends, we branched out and created a business to help others grow their Funko collections at an affordable price. We wanted to create a user friendly, affordable, genuine community and store to help our customers grow their beloved collections, so Pop Figures was born.
