Horror Collecting 101: The It – Welcome to Derry Funko Pop Line Explained

It Welcome to Derry Bloody Pennywise Funko Pop vinyl figure

Horror has always had one of the most passionate collector communities in the hobby. And when it comes to horror Funko Pops, few franchises have generated more collector energy than Stephen King's It.

The It: Welcome to Derry Funko Pop line — built around the HBO/Max prequel series — brings a fresh chapter of the Pennywise universe into vinyl form. Whether you're a King devotee who's been following the franchise for decades or you came in through the 2017 film, this line has something for you.

What's in the It: Welcome to Derry Line?

The line features several distinct variants of Pennywise and the expanded Derry universe — each with its own personality and visual flair:

  • Bloody Pennywise — The splatter variant. Horror collectors know exactly what to do with this one.
  • Bob Gray as Pennywise — The human face of It. Unsettling in the best possible way.
  • Pickle Dad — One of the more unexpected character additions to the line. A fan favorite for reasons that make complete sense once you know the show.
  • Pennywise Bloody Shelf Sitter — Designed to perch on the edge of a shelf. The shelf sitter format is one of the more creative display options Funko has introduced, and the Pennywise version earns its place.

Entertainment Earth Exclusives

Several figures in this line are Entertainment Earth Exclusives, which means they're available in limited quantities through select retailers — including Joytropolis. If you're building a complete IT shelf, the exclusives are the ones to prioritize. They don't stick around.

Building a Horror Shelf

Horror collectors tend to be deeply intentional about their displays. A dedicated horror shelf — with figures from IT, Stranger Things, horror classics, and slasher franchises — is one of the most striking setups in the hobby.

The It: Welcome to Derry line is a strong centerpiece. Pair it with complementary horror figures, add some moody lighting, and you've got a display worth showing off.

For the King Fans

Stephen King has been the source material for more beloved pop culture adaptations than almost any other author. IT, The Shining, Carrie, Misery — each one has a collector community around it. If you're a King reader who hasn't gotten into the collectibles side yet, the Welcome to Derry line is a genuinely strong entry point.

The full It: Welcome to Derry collection is available now at Joytropolis.
