Naruto Funko Pop Guide

Anyone interested in Naruto collectibles will undoubtedly find this Naruto Funko Pop guide useful. You see, if you buy one without knowing anything beforehand, you’ll likely end up saying, “I should have bought something else instead…“

I wish this kind of scenario is rare, but it’s something that actually happens frequently. I uttered those words myself when I first started buying anime figures. I’ve also seen other collectors sell figures they just bought because they realized they weren’t really into them later on.

And yes, this situation can still happen to you even if Naruto is your favorite anime of all time. The best way to ensure you’re 100% content with a Naruto Funko Pop is to check out its details in advance.

Bottom Line Up Front

To build a solid collection, you should go after the primary characters from the series first. As such, having Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura is imperative. After you secure them, you can work on getting the supporting and extra characters that you fancy.

Moreover, if you’re not a completionist, I suggest that you choose only one variant of a character. The other versions usually have almost the same design anyway. So you won’t be missing out on much.

Naruto Funko Pops

Since this guide is about Naruto, I’ll be putting characters that only appear in the Naruto and Naruto Shippuden timelines on the list. Therefore I won’t be including the present or older versions of characters that only appear in Boruto.

Conclusion

That was such a long list! The longest one I’ve made so far. I knew there were tons of Naruto Funko Pops, but I didn’t think it would be this many! What’s more, I wasn’t expecting multiple variants of a single character on this level.

After combing through them like a madman, I honestly don’t see the point in acquiring every piece in this line. In my opinion, getting 1-2 versions of the characters you like the most should be enough. The differences between the variants are too minuscule to warrant a need to have, let’s say, all 4 versions of a single character.

With that said, devoted fans should be satisfied with getting at least 30 out of the 51 Naruto Funko Pops I talked about. They’re the core pieces, such as Sakura, Asuma, and the like. Of course, you can exceed that number if you want to. Your enjoyment is what matters the most, after all.
