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 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. 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, so fans can buy into that crossover without piecing it together from separate lines.
