Collectible Review · Purchased December 17, 2022 · $85.00 CAD via Amazon.co.uk
The Setup
Part of Funko’s “Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday” line, tying into Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special on Disney+, with each character reimagined in festive attire and sold both individually and as a 5-pack.
The Review
Buying an individual figure rather than the full 5-pack was the right call for a specific favorite character, and it’s a nice, low-commitment way to tie into a special that was genuinely one of the more charming pieces of Marvel content to come out this year. The holiday-costume sculpt is distinct enough from the standard GotG Pops to feel like a real addition to the shelf rather than a redundant duplicate.
The usual Funko caveats apply here too — paint consistency is always a bit of a gamble across the line, and the box arrived with some light shelf wear from shipping internationally. As a specific, affordable way to commemorate a fun holiday special, though, it’s an easy small purchase to feel good about.
What I Liked
- Ties into a genuinely charming, well-received Disney+ special
- Distinct holiday-costume sculpt feels like a real addition to the shelf
- Available individually rather than requiring the full 5-pack
What I Didn’t
- Usual Funko paint-consistency lottery
- Some shelf wear from international shipping
The Verdict
Rating: 4/5
A small, affordable, genuinely charming tie-in to one of the more fun pieces of Marvel content this year.
