- Funko revealed a new Doctor Who Pop! lineup including the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 15th Doctors.
- First-ever Funko figures for River Song and the 15th Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) have been announced.

Attention, Whovians! The iconic toy manufacturer Funko has officially pulled back the curtain on its latest Doctor Who "Pop!" collection. This highly anticipated lineup, which is now open for pre-order, promises to satisfy both long-time collectors and newcomers to the franchise. The collection spans multiple incarnations of the Time Lord, ensuring a diverse range of characters for fans to display.
In a significant move for the fandom, this release includes the first-ever Funko figures for River Song and the 15th Doctor, portrayed by Ncuti Gatwa. While the majority of the figures are set to hit shelves on November 8, 2026, River Song fans will need to wait until January 30, 2027. Most standard figures are priced at a retail value of $14.99.
The Tenacious Appeal of the 10th Doctor
As expected, David Tennant's 10th Doctor remains the crown jewel of this announcement. Funko is offering two distinct versions to cater to different collector tastes. The first is the premium "Rides Deluxe: Doctor Who — 10th Doctor with TARDIS" priced at $29.99. This figure captures the Doctor leaning out of the TARDIS, his iconic beige overcoat billowing as if caught in the Time Vortex.
The second standard figure is a deeper, more emotional tribute, recreating the legendary "I don't want to go..." regeneration scene from Series 4. Whether it depicts his emotional farewell or his use of regeneration energy to heal, it is undoubtedly a centerpiece for any Doctor Who enthusiast.
The emphasis on David Tennant's era highlights Funko's keen understanding of market demand and the enduring legacy of the modern Doctor Who era.
Why This Matters
BozokMedia analysis shows that Funko's strategy of releasing "first-ever" figures for characters like River Song is a masterclass in tapping into untapped collector markets. By diversifying the incarnations available, Funko ensures that the secondary market remains active. We have seen previously that 'vaulted' figures—those no longer in production—can see massive price hikes on platforms like eBay, making early pre-orders essential for serious collectors.
The collection is rounded off with a Bronze Dalek (Metallic) exclusive, priced at $14.99 and releasing on November 23, 2026. Collectors will be hunting for the elusive "Silver Metallic" variant, adding a layer of gamification to the release.
