Looks like Funko released a few Kuromis. Any specific one that would be considered the best of 2023?

Coming back to this thread I keep forgetting the amount of great pops that came out this year. Really makes me excited to see what more funko has to give. Especially with Disney 100.

I would probably say the same but that Pop is out of reach for me. Was trying to think of Pops I can actually afford. However, I was able to get the non-glow version at Fundays. I am good with that one for now

oh same, That pop is amazing but the price tag, One day one day

Gosh so many to choose from, and I don't even know all the products they released.

Non fundays freddy: I really love the freddy floaty the blacklight one
Best fundays freddy: freddy as pinnochio
Based on expected arrival date, can I say toy story as the best bitty pops. I am so pumped for these. If I have to do what is already released, then for sure the SDCC Freddy bitty pops.

If amazon counts as retail, the best retail is the 100 disney train set. If we can't include the set, then my favorite is the woody on pixar ball. That one is so cool.

I will provide more as I research the ones I really focus on.

Already calling the blacklight bigfoot as in the top 5. If they can figure out a way to do a flocked black light then top line pop right there

Doesn't have to be high end.
That was an awesome Collaboration and I have the set. Missed out on Bugs at NYCC but was able to get the other three there.

Favorite Pop this year is probably the Wondercon Glow Gelatinous Cube.

Just iconic for me and love the glow.

Postby **zonkttc** » Sat Nov 18, 2023 7:20 pm

Gotta say Wondercon Glow Gelatinous Cube is a top one of this year. Definitely in the top 5.

Instead of waiting till the end of the year, I thought it would be fun to begin tallying what all Funatics thought as the best releases this year. Obviously there are different genres, so it will be interesting to see what everyone's thoughts are on this community. The Pop that got me thinking about this was the PX Exclusive The Last Ronin. The sculpt looks so good and of course the details are amazing! So that's my vote for best PX exclusive of 2023. What are your thoughts on this and what other pops deserve to be considered one of Funko's best of 2023?

Depending on the responses, I'll add to the list which we can vote on at the end of 2023.
