Fans fell in love with each character‘s idiosyncrasies and quirks, leading to Friends still ranking among the most streamed shows today. As such, Funko has created numerous themed Funko Pops allowing fans to celebrate their favorites.
Funko Pop! TV: Friends – Main Cast Set of 7
For the ultimate Friends Funko Pop collection, this Main Cast Set bundles together all six friends plus recurring character Gunther. Every figure captures the personalities and trademark looks of Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Ross, Joey and Chandler. Gunther, the Central Perk manager harboring a crush on Rachel, also makes the cut.

The Office Funko Pops
Much like Friends, NBC’s The Office charmed viewers with its quirky characters and laugh out loud situational humor for 9 seasons from 2005-2013. Set at a Scranton, PA paper company, the show’s trademark mockumentary style added absurd hilarity by allowing characters to speak directly to the audience.
Iconic employees like Regional Manager Michael Scott, top salesman Jim Halpert, office weirdo Dwight Schrute, receptionist Pam Beesly and more created enduring stories still referenced by fans today. Several Funko Pops capture those fan favorite moments from "that‘s what she said" jokes to intense office pranks.

HBO struck gold with the medieval fantasy drama Game of Thrones starring Peter Dinklage, Emilia Clarke and Kit Harington across 8 epic seasons from 2011-2019. Based on author George R.R. Martin’s A Song if Ice and Fire novels, this sprawling series chronicles the bloody power struggles between noble families vying to claim the legendary Iron Throne and rule Westeros.
