# Superhero Vinyl Figures Funko Brings X-Men into Avengers: Doomsday Pop Figures By Amy Duong | Written with AI assistance | Published 2026-10-05 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collectible-vinyl-figures References: [forbes](https://www.forbes.com/sites/timlammers/2026/10/05/funko-expands-avengers-doomsday-lineup-with-new-x-men-pop-figures)  Funko is expanding its Pop! figures with Avengers: Doomsday characters that fold X-Men faces into the movie tie-in, giving Marvel fans a crossover shelf option in one release. The [stylized vinyl set](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blind-box-series) includes Magneto and a jumbo Sentinel, turning both a key mutant and a towering threat into display pieces. The character figures stay compact for desks and bookcases, while the Sentinel stands 10 inches tall and works as the [clear centerpiece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galactus-popcorn). That contrast lets collectors build a scene with more depth than an all-standard lineup, instead of rows of figures that all land at the same visual scale. For fans, this means one Avengers: Doomsday drop can cover both a quick character buy and a bigger shelf anchor. It also leans into the film's [Marvel-meets-X-Men convergence](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skullpanda-x-sanrio), so fans can buy into that crossover without piecing it together from separate lines.
