In 2021, Marvel Studios and Disney broke onto the streaming world with a new slate of entries on Disney+, including WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, What If...?, and Hawkeye. All these shows introduced both old and new faces as what could arguably be the franchise's next roster of heroes. But now, a whole new wave is approaching as Oscar Isaac's Moon Knight inches closer to its debut.
At the same time, Marvel hasn't slowed down its merchandising roll either. Each of the aforementioned Disney+ shows came with a wide array of merchandise for fans to collect, including the ever-so-popular Funko Pops!.
For instance, WandaVision debuted a figurine of the Scarlet Witch reading the Darkhold in the air while What If...? saw Killmonger taking over Infinity Ultron's armor hit shelves.
Now, as 2022 chugs along and a new batch of Disney+ shows gear up to hit the streaming service, another look back on some of these iconic Funko Pops! has been unveiled–with a twist.
New Blacklight Funko Pops! For MCU Disney+
Collider exclusively unveiled five brand-new Funko Pops! for Marvel Studios' prominent Disney+ heroes from 2021, including the Scarlet Witch, Captain America, Sylvie, Killmonger, and Kate Bishop with Lucky the Pizza Dog. This batch is a continuation of the Marvel Blacklight series from Funko.

Pre-orders for these Funko Pops! will begin the morning of Friday, February 18, 2022.
A Neon Line of Brand-New Marvel Heroes
These Funko Pops! revisit already released figures with an underground vibe; the Marvel Blacklight series gives buyers the chance to test out the Pops! in a new environment, adding a new layer of wonder to them.
It's also good to see that Marvel Studios isn't about to forget about the success of 2021 anytime soon; the year as a whole was major for the company, and Disney+ was a monumental part of that. Each show left its mark on the franchise and pop culture in general, constantly dominating discussions on social media.
Die-hard and casual fans and collectors alike should look forward to adding one, two, or all of these new Pops! to their collection, as others for upcoming Disney+ shows such as Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel, and She-Hulk are surely on the horizon.
WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, What If...?, and Hawkeye are all now streaming on Disney+.
