I wasn’t a big fan of Funko Pops when they first started rolling out. I understood the appeal of them: the charm of owning a highly stylized version of a beloved character, the shelf-ready cuteness, the quiet joy of one more collectible to show off. I, however, had made peace with the fact that Funko Pops were simply not for me. That changed when my dad gifted me an Interview with the Vampire Funko Pop. Suddenly, it clicked.
Since then, I’ve picked up Funkos tied to the IPs that have left their mark on me. From Yuri!!! On Ice to Baldur’s Gate 3, my collection is small, intentional, and deeply personal. Which is why I’m delighted to announce now that my small ensemble is about to grow by 4 Funkos. The upcoming Dungeons & Dragons Funko Pop lineup arrives in March 2026. Some retailers, like Hop Topic, will start shipping out preorders in late February. Conveniently, these figures drop right before my birthday, which I take as a little wink from the universe.
These upcoming D&D Funkos arrive with typical Faerunian flair: all with unique features that any super geek like me would be proud to display. These aren’t your run-of-the-mill figures, either, so even the most discerning tabletop nerd will enjoy these. And after far too much deliberation, here’s my official ranking of the upcoming Dungeons & Dragons Funko Pops.

Pop! Strahd (Shapechanger)
The Funkos I collect tend to fall into one of two categories: fandom or vampires. So it pains me that Pop! Strahd is at the bottom of this list. Let me be absolutely clear: I adore this version of Count Strahd von Zarovich. But this vampire lord from Barovia is simply outperformed by the other stellar figures in this March 2026 lineup.
That being said, Pop! Strahd stands out from a typical Funko Pop. He sports decorated armor and a shortsword befitting of a menacing vampire lord who has spurred fear in the hearts of tenants for 4 centuries. The most notable feature of this figure, however, is that underneath his right hand is a colony of bats. In Curse of Strahd, Count von Zarovich can famously use a Shapechange ability to transform into a bat, wolf, or a cloud of mist. So, even when shrunken down to 4 inches, he’s still one of D&D‘s strongest villains.

Pop! Blue Dragon Wyrmling
The Blue Dragon Wyrmling is the cutest thing I’ve seen since the Owlbear cub. It captures that perfect midpoint between “tiny terror” and “friend-shaped,” with oversized eyes, light blue scales, and a posture that feels more curious than threatening. Like any baby creature, the wyrmling already sits at the intersection of danger and innocence, and Funko leans fully into that duality here. It’s charming, expressive, and instantly recognizable.
That said, this Pop ranks third on my list for a very specific reason: it stands out too much. Unlike character-based Pops that slot neatly into a lineup, the Blue Dragon Wyrmling is just a dragon. There’s no humanoid frame, no familiar face, and no narrative shorthand the way there is with a named hero or villain. For collectors who prefer traditional Funko silhouettes, that deviation might be a dealbreaker. But for D&D fans? It’s an excellent addition.

Pop! Valindra Shadowmantle
Whenever the Arcane Brotherhood in D&D comes up, I pipe down and listen. I have found the guild to be fascinating for so long that I actually wrote it into my first BG3 Tav’s backstory. When I learned that Valindra Shadowmantle, the Arcane Brotherhood’s most infamous Overwizard of the North, was getting her own Funko Pop, the lore-obsessed fangirl in me screeched.
For those of you who, unlike me, have not dedicated hours to researching a fictional mage’s guild, allow me to fill in the blanks. If you’ve ever brushed with D&D video games, Valindra was the mastermind behind the attack on Neverwinter and its surrounding lands. And Funko Pop immortalizes her with a gruesome lichen form. With torn robes fit for an elf-turned-necromancer and a diadem that communicates her standing within a treacherous guild, Valindra’s Funko Pop is an incredible must-have for any D&D fan. As added visual pizzazz, her transparent base makes it seem like she’s floating. I’m literally pogging as I type this out.

Pop! Premium Lolth the Spider Queen
I’m about as Drow-obsessed as the next Dungeons & Dragons fan. I find the Drow fascinating, and the lore’s groundwork is ripe for creating a compelling character. But all the cultural nuances, motivations, and theocracy can be traced back to the evil-aligned spider queen. Lolth is not just a random D&D deity. She’s the heart of a whole race: the sole reason for their infighting, strictness, and suffocating matriarchy. And Funko knocked it right out of the park with this depiction of Lolth.
Funko created a figurine of Lolth’s likeness with great care and attention to detail. In fact, even her cute appearance aligns closely with the canon character design, as all of her representations feature the head of a beautiful Drow woman. With terrifying spider legs and predatory hands to match, this Funko Pop balances uniqueness with tradition in the best way possible. Which is why it stands proudly at the very top of my list.
