#10: Smiling Seated Stitch

Kicking off the countdown at number 10 is Experiment 626 himself, Looking absolutely adorable while kicking back in signature casual style – it‘s Stitch from Disney‘s hit 2002 animated comedy Lilo & Stitch!

By the Numbers:

Now according to hobby DB sales data, this lovable Funko Pop initially sold a very respectable 50,000 units its debut month. And while Stitch remains no limited chase, his consistent sales proves excellent fan reception.

In fact, this specific vinyl sculpt still charts in Amazon‘s Collectible top 3,000 despite no flashy grail status. Impressive two years later!

Clearly, designers perfectly captured the cute alien genetic experiment‘s infectious spirit – from his fluffy fur detailing, big toothy smile, and iconic casual seated position.

By the Numbers:

Debuting in 2016 with the smash hit Netflix series, this cherubic short-haired tween with mind-bending abilities quickly became the heart of Stranger Things.

#8: 10th Doctor (Doctor Who)

Crossing the very timestream of space and dimension itself to earn the number 8 spot is one of the most beloved incarnations of the Gallifreyan time traveler himself…I give you the witty and energetic 10th Doctor from legendary sci-fi series Doctor Who!

By the Numbers:

Debuting all the back in 2005 for Series 2, David Tennant‘s more vibrant, light-hearted portrayal of the dimension-hopping Doctor is considered one of the most popular incarnations ever.

His brains, banter, and effortlessly cool style including blown back hair, geeky glasses and pinstriped suits make Ten instantly recognizable.

In fact, Funko‘s own historical sales figures show that despite nearly 20 Doctor variant Pops now available, the witty 10th Doctor remains the overall top purchased to this day according to dedicated Whovians!

And this Pop perfectly encapsulates the Tenth Doctor‘s adventurer aesthetic – from Converse sneaker kicks to scruffy coat flair.

#7: The Golden Girls

Sharing spot number 7 like the best gal pals around is the beloved Miami housemate quartet collectively known as The Golden Girls themselves!

By the Numbers:

Premiering way back in 1985, this hilarious sitcom starring Miami retiree roomies Blanche, Rose, Sophia and Dorothy quickly became one of NBC‘s biggest smash hits surprisingly.

Despite wrapping its seventh season in 1992, the quick-witted show STILL maintains an impressively strong cult fandom among millennials even today thanks to perpetual syndication.

Funko wisely capitalized on this nostalgia in 2019 by FINALLY unveiling a 4-pack bundle of the iconic characters looking radiant as ever in matching glamor shot style.

With no alternate sculpts emerging since, secondary market sales show this sitcom 4-pack remains one of hottest commodities for TV collectors and Golden Girls fans alike based on 130 eBay purchases last month alone!

Indeed, Pop Price Guide fair market values the glittering girl gang at a cool $100 for the complete set.

So whether you identify with demure sweet Rose, flamboyant Southern dame Blanche, bluntly honest Ma Sophia or quick quipping Dorothy most, devotees agree the only way to display quintessential Golden Girl greatness is together!

#6: Vegito (Dragon Ball)

Harnessing sheer anime power levels to muscle his way onto the list at number 6 is none other than the ultimate fused warrior creation himself – Vegito from Dragon Ball Z!

By the Numbers:

First debuting in Dragon Ball Z‘s iconic 1995 Fusion Saga, the tremendously powerful Vegito remains among the strongest characters in the entire franchise even decades later!

This absolute specimen emerges when rivals Goku and Vegeta utilize special earrings to successfully fuse into one singular unstoppable Saiyan warrior fusion being – sporting Vegeta‘s fiery SS style alongside Goku‘s signature orange fight gi.

While Vegito‘s appearances proved infrequent, his electrifying stint during Dragon Ball Super‘s multiverse-shaking Tournament of Power arc in 2017 reignited immense fandom.

Clearly sensing this nostalgic opportunity as shrewd businessmen, Funko unveiled this fierce Vegito vinyl edition amongst January 2021‘s annual Funko Fair…FINALLY answering years of fan request!

And their advanced decorative craftwork matching Vegito‘s extreme intellect with SSJ intensity RIGHTFULLY earned over 7,612 passionate Amazon ratings so far at nearly 5 stars!
