The countdown to Hawkins’ next chapter has begun. With Stranger Things Season 5 on the horizon, fans aren’t the only ones preparing—collectors are, too. Every new season brings a fresh wave of Funko Pop! vinyls, and this lineup captures what makes the series unforgettable: loyalty, mystery, and a healthy dose of 1980s nostalgia.
Whether you’ve followed the series since day one or you’re curating a focused Funko shelf, the latest Stranger Things Season 5 Pops are designed to stand out. Below is a practical, collector-first breakdown of each figure, why it matters, and how to secure yours in time.
Latest Season 5 Funko Pop! Lineup (Collector Highlights)
1) Dustin Henderson — The Heart of the Party
Funko Pop! TV: Stranger Things Season 5 – Dustin Henderson brings back the team’s quick-thinking problem solver in his signature cap. It’s the anchor piece for this wave—reliable, instantly recognizable, and a natural focal point for display symmetry. Wearing the epic Hellfire Club T-shirt, one can notice that the expressions of Dustin depict a sense of maturity and inquisitiveness.
Why collectors care: Dustin keeps alive the wit in the show and pairs well with the Funko Pop of Steve Harrington to remind us the real meaning of the word "Friendship".
2) Holly Wheeler — The Unexpected Addition
Funko Pop! TV: Stranger Things Season 5 – Holly Wheeler is a surprise that rounds out the Wheeler family for completionists. Historically underrepresented in earlier waves, Holly adds rarity and set-completion value.
Collector note: Family set completion is a common theme in Stranger Things displays; Holly fills that gap. Pairs well with her brother's Funko Pop - Mike Wheeler.
3) Mike Wheeler — Back in Leader Mode
Funko Pop! TV: Stranger Things Season 5 – Mike Wheeler shows a maturing look and a stance that telegraphs responsibility. Side-by-side with earlier Mike Pops, the design evolution is easy to spot - as his body language in the Funko Pop depicts his eeriness of what is to come and his accountability towards Eleven and Hawkins town.
Display tip: Place Mike slightly forward of Dustin, Will and Lucas to reinforce his “party leader” role. Mike is also paired well with Eleven by his side, ready for the war with Vecna.
4) Jim Hopper — The Comeback We Waited For
Funko Pop! TV: Stranger Things Season 5 – Jim Hopper captures the hardened protector fans rally behind. Hopper's costume detail with gun in his hand is read as “battle-ready,” making it a natural pair with Joyce’s Funko Pop figure.
Why it matters: Hopper’s visual through-line across seasons (uniforms, poses, props) makes his Pops a quick lesson in character storytelling. With the beard giving the profundity to Jim Hopper's Funko Pop, he is paired well with Eleven with Bandana.
5) Lucas Sinclair with Boombox — Soundtrack of the ’80s
Funko Pop! TV: Stranger Things Season 5 – Lucas Sinclair with Boombox is pure retro charisma. The boombox sculpt brings the show’s musical DNA right onto your shelf and adds motion to static lineups. With the gravity of the situation being visible on his face, Lucas has come a long way with his Boombox to save and support Max Mayfair.
Styling tip: Place Lucas near neon backlighting or cassette props to sell the era. Pairs well with Will Byers Funko Pop.
6) Will Byers — Still Haunted, Still Essential
Funko Pop! TV: Stranger Things Season 5 – Will Byers carries the quiet intensity that’s defined him since Season 1. For long-time collectors, it’s a great side-by-side with earlier Will figures to appreciate sculpt refinement.
Collector perspective: Will has anchored major plot beats; his Pops often become narrative touchpoints in display layouts. Place his along with Eleven's Funko Pop to showcase the front warriors in the fight against Vecna.
7) Joyce Byers with Axe — Protective as Ever
Funko Pop! TV: Stranger Things Season 5 – Joyce Byers with Axe is dynamic and determined. The raised-axe pose pairs perfectly with Hopper’s figure for a two-character mini-scene. Joyce's Funko Figure's expression clearly display her motherly love and care for Jonathan and Will.
Display pairing: Hopper + Joyce on a small riser creates instant depth with minimal space. Both are ready to fight the Demogorgon for the safety and security of their kids.
8) Eleven with Bandana (Floating) — Telekinetic Centerpiece
Funko Pop! TV: Stranger Things Season 5 – Eleven with Bandana (Floating) is the wave’s showstopper. The levitation effect, focused expression, and flowing bandana create a centerpiece that works from any angle.
Why collectors care: With Eleven gaining her powers back and getting an insight of Number 001 being Vecna, her Funko Figure depicts the readiness to unveil the secrets of the Upside Down.
Collector Tips: Securing, Protecting, Displaying
- Pre-order early: Stranger Things waves can move fast—reserve before the premiere buzz spikes demand.
- Protect packaging: Use sturdy protectors and store boxes upright to avoid window warp.
- Display with intention: Group by scene (Hopper + Joyce), by family (Wheelers), or by “then vs now” evolutions (Will, Mike, Eleven).
