Exciting news for collectors and fans of Hawkins – Funko has officially announced the second wave of Stranger Things Season 5 Funko Pop! figures.
What’s New in Pop! Television: Stranger Things Season 5
As the final season approaches, this new lineup expands on the darker themes and evolving character arcs that will define the conclusion of the series.
Following the first Season 5 release, this second wave introduces seven brand-new Stranger Things Funko Pop! figures inspired directly by the upcoming final episodes. Rather than focusing on a broad character roster, this wave zooms in on transformation, control, survival, and unexpected heroism.
This release leans heavily into story-driven designs. Several figures represent characters in altered states, new outfits, or mysterious forms that clearly tie into key moments from Season 5. The wave also includes a Funko Shop exclusive, making it especially relevant for collectors who prioritize limited releases.
Unlike Wave 1, which featured a wide mix of characters, rides, and locations, Wave 2 keeps things focused and intense. Each Pop! feels intentional, reflecting the escalating stakes as Hawkins faces its final confrontation with the Upside Down.
Stranger Things has grown into a global pop culture phenomenon since its debut in 2016. Now, with Season 5 set to close the story, every new Funko Pop! release feels like a piece of television history. This second wave captures that sense of finality while still delivering fresh designs that stand out on the shelf.
About Stranger Things
Stranger Things is one of Netflix’s most successful original series, blending supernatural horror, science fiction, 1980s nostalgia, and deeply connected characters. Created by the Duffer Brothers, the show follows a group of kids from the town of Hawkins, Indiana, whose lives are forever changed by the discovery of the Upside Down.
Across four seasons, the series has evolved from a small-town mystery into a full-scale supernatural saga. Season 4 introduced Vecna as the central antagonist and left Hawkins fractured, setting the stage for an all-or-nothing final chapter.
Season 5 continues directly from these events, with characters facing both external threats and internal consequences. Control, corruption, and resistance play a major role in the story, and these themes are clearly reflected in Funko’s design choices for the Wave 2 Pop! figures.
Rather than offering simple character refreshes, this wave highlights moments of change. For collectors, that makes these figures feel less like optional variants and more like essential representations of the final season.

Holly the Heroic is one of the most surprising inclusions. This figure hints at a more active role for the character in Season 5 and adds a fresh dynamic to the wave.
