As fans eagerly await the new season of 'Stranger Things,' brands like Funko have been taking advantage of the supernatural series' popularity by launching their own Stranger Things figurines and other collectibles.
Funko's Stranger Things figurines come in two different sets of three, with each coming with a gang of some of the series' most popular characters, along with their iconic accessories. For example, the box that includes Eleven, Lucas, and Mike comes with a box of Eggos, a slingshot, as well as a walkie-talkie. The other set of Stranger Things figurines includes Will, Dustin, and a Demogorgon -- a faceless alien creature.
The sets are set to release in August 2017, just a few months prior to the premiere of the series' second season in October.
