Thats a good place to start then. Stranger things has several pops that are pretty common.
As for Marvel, I would say try to collect your favorite heroes or villains. The major ones usually have several variants including commons.

Re: Where to start?
I know you are probably asking characters you should start with, but my answer is still eBay. Just run a search for Funko Hikari and do some browsing. You'll find plenty of stuff and lots will be $20 or less too.

Re: Where to start?
I would collect Hikaris again if they ever came out with a horror series. Even a mini hikari horror series would be welcomed, like a Freddy vs Jason 2 pack, Chucky & TIff 2 pack, Psycho & Mother 2 pack, etc

Re: Where to start?
The Spider-Man Hikari are some of my favorite, can’t go wrong there if you’re looking for Marvel. Brett is right too, check eBay, you’ll find some great deals on probably one of the most under appreciated lines in all of toys

Yes, definitely do a Hikari search on ebay or Amazon and see if anything catches your eye. Good luck!

They made some pretty good Iron Man Hikari's but just start with what you like. Personally, I'm into the Frankenberry Hikari's.

Re: Where to start?
I started with the Iron Man Hikaris, they are really cool, i also collect most of the freddy mini hikaris as well and dabble in the retro freddy hikari. I recommend starting with a regular sized hikari and not a mini hikari.

Start with one that catches your eye, one from the franchise you love the most. I only have Groot hikari, as I LOVE Groot.
They call me Kelly
OOB deals I love to find.
Disney is my first love whether it be pops, Dorbz , minis or dolls.
Pops and Dorbz -2000+~~~ I have lost count actually
Minis-450+

Re: Where to start?
I’m looking to get into Hikaris as well. Gonna start with The Voltron line myself. After looking at these for a while now there actually nice looking pieces. Hopefully tracking them down won’t be too much of an issue. Happy Hunting.
Keep spreading that Funko Love...

Gamestop is a really good place to check. I've seen Hikari heavily discounted.

Since the 10" Demogorgon came out, I think Id be good without a hikari version.

Ours never have hikari anymore - seems the only place I ever see them is at Box Lunch and there aren't any of those near me
