Like most people, we here at Geek’s Oasis love Stranger Things! We decided to have a look at some of the cool Stranger Things action figures that some of us have in our collections and share them with you guys today.
The Stranger Things “toy” rights have bounced around a bit from what we have seen, but we feel that we have some awesome figures for you to consider adding to your collection, and best of all, you do not even have to go to The Upside Down to purchase them!
Picking The Right Stranger Things Figures!
We had a bit of a challenging time putting this list of Stranger Things action figures together as there are so many to choose from. When we looked at the best Star Wars Black Series Luke Skywalker figures, all those figures were from the same company and the same series.
With Stranger Things, the gloves are well and truly off as many different companies are making Stranger Things merch. The way we came up with this list was y picking the stuff that we have and we think is cool, after all, we are fans of the show like you are!

The number of Stranger Things Funko Pops is crazy, but we are loving this new series of Deluxe Pops that they are doing. This one here features Will, but he is all grey and scared as he is in The Upside Down!
This also comes with a little stand/backdrop as well which is such a nice touch and makes this arguably the best Will Funko Pop figure that is out there right now. This is one of the most awesome of all the Stranger Things action figures we have for you!
Good To Know
- Size: 15.3 x 11.2 x 3.4 inches (including base and backdrop)
- Series: Funko Pop Deluxe
- There are three other fantastic figures in this set and they all link together which looks awesome.

Who didn’t fall in love with Eddie Munson in the last season of Stranger Things? Bandai is doing a great job with their series of Stranger Things action figures and we love this one of Eddie.
He is rocking his Hellfire Club shirt, leather, and jean jacket combo and the face sculpt is pretty damn epic too. No Stranger Things collection is complete without our hard-rocking hero Eddie Munson in it!
Good To Know
- Size: 6 inch
- Series: Bandai Stranger Things The Void Series
- This figure looks awesome, but the packaging is also really cool so we would not blame you one bit if you wanted to keep this mint on the card!

No figure or figures on our Stranger Things action figures list has split fans down the middle like Playmates Ninja Turtles and Stranger Things crossover. This set features Raphael, but he is a classic Raph from the cool comic books.
The Hopper figure is based on his look from Season three and the set comes packed with some fun accessories. Also, the packaging is very interesting as it is designed so that either Raph or Hopper will be “upside down” depending on how you display it.
Good To Know
- Size: 6 inch
- Series: Playmates Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles X Stranger Things
- There is a second set that features Eleven and Leonardo

Yes, we are going back to this series already as we love it so much. This one here is a special edition Pop and man is it awesome. It features Eleven using her powers just like in this iconic scene from the show.
She is covered in blood and the Rainbow Room diorama/stand that is included is also covered in blood. If you want something that shows the “darker” side of Stranger Things, this is perfect.
This is designed to go side by side with the other two, or you can have two on top and the two in The Upside Down on the bottom which is fun.
Good To Know
- Size: 15.3 x 11.2 x 3.4 inches (including base and backdrop)
- Series: Funko Pop Deluxe
- As well as Will, this series also includes Hopper, a Demogorgon, and a regular version of Eleven.

Next up we have one of the more “interesting” Stranger Things action figures on our list as it is part of the Q Posket series from Banpresto. This is a very unique take on our pal Sherriff Hopper as he is done in an anime kind of style.
He looks cute, but you can still tell this version of Hopper can keep the kids and people of Hawkins safe and sound. If you are looking for a Hopper (or Stranger Things figure in general) that has a truly interesting design, this is perfect.
Good To Know
- Size: 5.5 inches
- Series: Banpresto Q Posket
- While we love Hopper, this is a whole line and features fun anime-style representations of other characters such as Steve and Eleven to name a few.

We know that the asking price is high on this, but this is a fantastic three-pack of Reaction Figures. We did a whole guide about the Star Wars Retro Collection and how we loved the retro style, well that is what these figures are all about.
This pack comes with a retro (Kenner-looking) Eleven, Mike, and Lucas and each one has some neat accessories. These are getting harder and harder to track down so while the price is high, it is probably only going to get higher.
Good To Know
- Size: 3 ¾ inch
- Series: Reaction Stranger Things
- There is another three-pack that has Dustin, Will, and a Demogorgon. You can also get these figures on individual cards as well.

This is the most epic and dangerous set of Stranger Things action figures you will ever see! This is part of the epic series of action figures from Bandai (same as the Eddie one we looked at earlier) and this comes with four figures.
This set comes with Vecna, a Demogorgon, a Demodog, and a Demobat! Best of all, these are not just the same as the ones you can buy on their own. These figures have a bloody paint job to them which makes them look even cooler!
The sculpting and the way they have captured these characters are truly something special!
Good To Know
- Size: 7 inches
- Series: Bandai Stranger Things The Void Series
- You can buy these figures individually if the blood paint effect is a bit too much for you.

There have been a few Dustin Funko Pop figures, but this one here is our favorite! This is Dustin from season four of Stranger Things. He is rocking his thinking cap, he has his radio, and best of all he is proudly wearing his Hellfire Club t-shirt!
This is one of the most fun Stranger Things action figures that Funk has done so far! While the figure is “fun” we also have to give them a ton of credit for the sculpting on this Pop as it makes it really “pop”.
Good To Know
- Size: 5 inch
- Series: Funko Pop TV Stranger Things
- This series of Funko Pops also has a Mike figure that is rocking a Hellfire Club shirt that goes great with this Dustin.
FAQs About Stranger Things Action Figures
If you need a little bit of guidance getting out of The Upside Down so you can add a new cool figure to your collection, this is the right section for you.
Are Funko Pops action figures?
We hear this one a lot, when we looked for the best Green Goblin action figure we did touch on this. Some people consider Funko Pops to be action figures others do not and that is ok!
You can put them with your action figure collection and they look great. They have their own style that is for sure, but we still think that they are great collectibles to add to a collection.
Why are some Stranger Things figures expensive and hard to find?
As we said earlier, the Stranger Things rights have been passed around a bit and this has resulted in some figures such as the McFarlane Toys ones becoming harder to find and also rather expensive as well.
Bandai has the rights now and from our experience, if you like these figures, you may want to jump on them now before the rights change hands again!
Side Note: While they are rather expensive these days and can be hard to find, McFarlane Toys did a wonderful job with the Stranger Things line, especially The Hopper figure with his bright Hawaii-style shirt that they made!
So what is the Stranger Things TV series all about?
Stranger Things is a science fiction horror television series released on Netflix in 2016. It follows the story of a group of kids living in a small town as they uncover a series of terrifying supernatural forces and dark government secrets.
In season one, a young boy vanishes, there is one strange little girl who can do crazy things, and the whole show centers around these disappearances, supernatural experiences, and a mystery involving secret experiments conducted by the Hawkins National Laboratory.
Let's just leave it to that as we don't want to be called spoilers, but we can say that the series is a lot of fun - you'll be hooked in no time!
