Funko Pop! Advent Calendar: Marvel - Holiday, Multicolor, One Size

We were so excited for this advent calendar but its falling short. The quality is good and theyre adorable, but in 17 days so far, weve received 3 exact duplicates and a few other of the same Marvel character in a different Christmas costume. There are SO MANY marvel characters to choose from, there should be no reason for duplicates if they wanted to do this right. We wont buy Funko Advent calendars again.

There are so many characters in the MCU, but unfortunately this calendar is repetitive in characters & poses (there are only 11 different characters in 24 days). You’ll see the same character/pose, but one has glitter or glows in the dark & one does not…several times in the set. (For example, there are 3 Captain Americas - a gingerbread, a snowman, & a glittery snowman). The figures that are there are fun, but I really wish there had been more variety. Additionally, I received a duplicate of one of the figures & consequently was missing another that was supposed to come in the set. I tried reaching out to Funko on multiple occasions before submitting this review, but after 4 months have yet to hear back from their support team.

My son loves it but was a little disappointed that there were duplicates. 2 Groots (one had a sheer star vs opaque star), 2 Thors (opaque vs sheer hammer), 2 Capt Americas ( one sparkly, 1 not) 2 iron mans (exactly the same) and 2 other super heros that I dont know their names but only difference is 1 has sparkles and dup does not.

Look- I get that Funko didnt have the budget to do new sculpts to fill out the full calendar... but GEEZ having repeats is LAME. Thankfully I didnt buy this at full price but Im very hesitant to try this again if thats what Funko plans on doing from now on. I did like the figure that were included- just didnt need multiples of a bunch of them.

Love the idea. My son was extremely excited to open and get a character each day however there are duplicates which significantly dropped his excitement on many occasions. We received 2 of the same exact Grout, 2 Grouts with a star on the head which look just like the previously mentioned duplicate one only slightly different with the star, leaving us to have 4 very similar figures. We also got 2 Captain America snowmen one has glitter so only slightly different and 2 Ironman gingerbread guys, 2 scarlet gingerbreads one with glitter…again only slightly different. It is a super idea and fun but my son is 5 and he’s very annoyed that he’s got doubles and I’m equally annoyed because this thing was fairly pricey especially if you get the same things on multiple occasions. There are characters that were created in a more normal decor and then with a holiday twist and some could have at least been done more or done differently like made as snowmen or something a little more than throwing some glitter on it. Just kinda disappointed

My 14 year old son loves advents as a tradition that goes all the way back. I wanted something other than lego so I went for this. The figures are beyond adorable but there are duplicates of sorts ie Mini Captain American in an ugly sweater, Mini Captain America with a different ugly sweater and Mini Captain America with a glittery ugly sweater. It started to not be as fun and theres still 10 days left. Either way were going to heat paperclips and make ornaments out of them when were done. Hes 14 and happy so I guess I won

I love the Funko style of characters and have many of their regular sized figures in my knick knacks, and I had another of their advent calendars a couple of years ago that I was so very happy with. This one, however, while creative in the holiday depictions of the Marvel characters, is disappointing because there are so many duplicates. Not just duplications of the same character in a different pose, but the exact same figure duplication on more than one occasion. With a world so large and full of characters, I hoped there would be more variety in the selections. Over-all I’m happy with it, my kid is definitely enjoying opening it every day. But I would like Funko to do better next year.

It’s really cute and we did enjoy opening this up to count down to Christmas but I was pretty disappointing to get doubles but they are very cute!

There are a lot of cute figures, but so far we’ve had multiples of the same ones popping up and one that was very similar, except it had glitter on it. Generally well done, with interesting holiday pun-based costumes for the character and the Christmas theme.

This is a cute idea but we were disappointed by two things. First, way too many duplicates or figures that look like another day but they just added glitter. I’ve done other figurine advent calendars and never got a dupe. There is enough character variety in the MCU that dupes aren’t necessary unless the designers just got lazy. Second, half the figures are so top heavy they can’t stand up in their own. Hard to display these unless you build a stand/lean-to to prop the figures up on. Next year I will be avoiding this style of advent calendar.
