Funko Star Wars Advent Calendar Review: For Collectors?
Small vinyl Star Wars figures behind every door, and a box that turns into a backdrop for them. A collector's calendar for a desk or a shelf rather than a toy bin.
Yes, for a Star Wars fan who likes small figures on a desk. Every door holds a Pocket Pop figure to keep, and the box art becomes a display scene [1]. Skip it for anyone who hates clutter, because a full set needs a shelf of its own.

Pros and cons
- Figures are small, not full size Pops [1]
- Lots of pieces to find a home for
- Same franchise as the LEGO Star Wars calendar, so pick one
A figure every single day
Most toy calendars mix figures with filler. This one has a collectible Pocket Pop behind each door, all from the Star Wars Holiday line [1].
The figures are small, up to about 1.87 inches tall depending on the character [1]. That is the right size for a desk, a monitor stand or a bookshelf edge.
The box becomes the display
Funko designed the packaging so the figures stand in front of the box art as a little scene [1]. By Christmas Eve the whole cast is lined up in front of it.
It is the kind of calendar adults buy for themselves. Funko lists it for adults, kids, boys and girls over 3, and the officially licensed characters are the draw [1].
For a teen, it is a fun way to start a desk collection without spending on full size Pops one by one.
Too many figures for some homes
The honest catch is volume. Two dozen small figures need somewhere to live, and a parent who fights clutter may not thank you.
Pocket Pops are also smaller than the regular Funko Pop heads people picture. Set expectations if the fan is used to the big boxes.
Choose the franchise with care. This listing is the Star Wars Holiday set [1], and a fan of another series will not care how cute the figures are.
Who to give it to
It suits the office Star Wars fan, the teen with a desk shelf, or the adult who still quotes the films. Give it before the first of December so no door is wasted.
From the same guide, the LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar is the building version of the same idea, so pick by whether they build or collect. For a mixed household, the Lindt Teddy Chocolate Advent Calendar is the easy sweet calendar to go next to it.
FAQ
How big are Funko Pocket Pop figures?
Small. The listing says Pocket Pop figures vary in height by character, with the tallest at about 1.87 inches [1]. They are much smaller than regular Funko Pop figures, which makes them good for a desk or a shelf ledge rather than a display case [1]
