A few months before the end of the year and while we are thinking more about back to school than Christmas, Funko just revealed the POPs and other derivatives that will be under the Christmas trees... It is now a tradition, among the most awaited Funko products, we find the advent calendars.
What are the Funko 2021 advent calendars?
This year, Funko presented 4 advent calendars. If we find usual licenses like Harry Potter, there is this year some novelty with a calendar of the series The Office, a calendar of the game Five Nights at Freddy's (FNAF) or a Pokémon Advent calendar!
Zoom on these 4 Funko calendars that will make you wait until Christmas in this article.
Pokemon Advent Calendar 2021
It is certainly the most awaited calendar by the fans and it is a great first. Funko presented a calendar dedicated to the Pokémon license where you can find almost all the Pokémon already released in POP. From Pikachu to Mew through the three starters and the POP Metallic versions, the hardest part will be to open only one box at a time!

The content of the Funko Pokemon Advent Calendar is not a mystery since Funko has unveiled all 24 Pokemon Pocket POPs that will make it up. The only surprise will be the opening of each box!
In detail, there are: Pikachu (3 figures), Squirtle (2 figures), Charmander (2 figures), Bulbasaur (2 figures), Eevee (2 figures), Vulpix, Mewtwo, Mr. Mime, Rattata, Cubone, Growlithe, Jolteon, Vaporeon, Flareon, Raichu, Pichu, Mew and finally Meowth.Harry Potter Advent Calendar 2021
In contrast to the Pokemon version which is making its debut, the Harry Potter calendar has become a must-have since it has now been four years that it makes children and adults wait until D-Day by transporting them to Hogwarts with all the characters of the universe imagined by JK Rowling.

The mystery remains on the characters of the Harry Potter calendar present in Pocket POP. Nevertheless, the first visuals let us think that they are already existing POP replicas and since we discover Harry with his wizard dress and his Gryffindor scarf, Snape in his ball dress or Dobby who holds in his hand the sock.
If we do not have more information on the other characters, it is likely that Ron, Hermione, or Hagrid will be present. The fact that Snape is presented in ball clothes also suggests that the series of POPs where we discover the characters dressed for the ball could well be part of this Harry Potter 2021 advent calendar!
The Office Advent calendar 2021
This is the fastest growing POP collection this year and it is naturally rewarded with a The Office advent calendar. The TV series has (at the time of writing) no less than 70 figures, almost half of which were released this year...
Michael, Jim, Dwight are coming in an advent calendar that promises to be exceptional and where the 24 Pocket POPs seem to be replicas of the POPs already available in normal size.

The surprise remains for The Office advent calendar since the visuals revealed by Funko don't let us see much... Only 5 Pocket POPs of the calendar are revealed and seem to correspond (in Pocket version) to the POPs of Michael Scott #869, Dwight Schrute #871, Pam Beesly #872, as well as the Darryl Philbin #873 figure.
Five Nights at Freddy's 2021 Advent Calendar
New for 2021, the FNaF advent calendar looks promising to pay a heartfelt tribute to horror fans, especially players of Five Nights at Freddy's. This is the second time Funko has looked to the world of video games for its calendars (the first being the Fortnite calendar in 2019).
Will we get the angsty atmosphere of video games again? Either way, there will be more than 5 nights to go as the calendar does have the regulation 24 slots to keep you waiting until Christmas. Inside, the animatronics seem to be ready to appear in your living room!

Among the Pocket POPs unveiled on the FNaF calendar box, we discover 5 completely new figurines. As the last Five Nights at Freddy's POPs were released in 2018, fans will be able to discover the little (scary) characters again on new POPs!
How to buy past years' calendars?
Missed a previous year's calendar? You don't like this year's licenses? You want to buy the Funko advent calendar for less? For that, the "good plan" is to buy a calendar from previous editions. Harder to find, but also sold at a better price (usually half price between $30 and $50), they will make you happy!
