Embrace the Dark Side of Disney: Must-Have Funko Pops for Villains Lovers

Embrace the Dark Side of Disney: Must-Have Funko Pops for Villains Lovers

Let’s face it—Disney villains steal the show. They’re often smarter, sassier, and far more complex than their goody-two-shoes counterparts. Sure, the heroes and heroines may win in the end, but villains? They leave a lasting impression, and some of us can’t help but root for them.

If you're a Disney fan who prefers the dramatic flair of these baddies over the sugar-sweet smiles of the heroes, then Funko has something just for you. Funko’s line of Disney Villains Funko Pops perfectly captures the charm and menace of these iconic characters. Whether you love the sea-witch power of Ursula, the vanity of Gaston, or the dark magic of Jafar, these Funko Pops add a dash of wicked fun to your collection.

Let’s take a deep dive into some of the most exciting Disney Villain Funko Pops, shall we?


1. Ursula & Ursula’s Lair Funko Pop! Town (#43)

Can we talk about how iconic Ursula is? She’s not just any villain—she’s a diva, a queen of the deep seas, and arguably one of Disney's most beloved bad gals. Ursula from The Little Mermaid isn't your typical villain who just wants to steal, destroy, or control. She’s a sea witch with style, wit, and a killer plan to take over King Triton’s throne. And let’s not forget her most memorable scene—“Poor Unfortunate Souls”—where she convinces Ariel to give up her voice for a pair of legs. Goosebumps, every time!

This particular Funko Pop is a treasure not only because it captures Ursula in her menacing glory, but it also comes with her iconic lair. The vivid colors, the exaggerated mischievous grin, and the aura of pure villainous confidence make this figure pop (pun intended!). Her tentacles swirl around in glorious detail, reminding you of her ability to lure unsuspecting mermaids into her wicked deals.

The addition of Ursula’s lair is what makes this Funko Pop extra special. It's not just about Ursula as a standalone; it gives us a glimpse into the sinister world she inhabits. The coral-like structures and eerie purple hues evoke a dark underwater magic. This is more than just a Funko Pop—it’s an entire atmosphere of Disney villainy wrapped into one collectible set.


2. Yzma Funko Pop! (#1521)

You know Yzma, right? The wild, eccentric, over-the-top villain from The Emperor’s New Groove? If you've ever wanted a villain who could make you laugh as much as cringe, Yzma is your gal. She’s hilarious, unapologetically selfish, and has the best “failed evil plan” energy in all of Disney history. Every moment she’s on screen is a scene-stealer—especially when she’s paired with the lovable Kronk.

This Funko Pop captures her distinctive design perfectly. The large, hauntingly expressive eyes, combined with her sharply contoured face, reflect the dramatic personality Yzma exudes. Her long, bony fingers, reaching out as if to grab some new potion, and the deep purple shades of her gown add to the Pop’s allure. It’s almost like she’s one bad idea away from turning someone into a llama…again.

For anyone who loves a mix of comedy with their villains, Yzma is a must. She's that perfect reminder that villains don't always have to be serious or terrifying—they can also be a lot of fun.


3. Mother Gothel Funko Pop! (#1520)

Dark, manipulative, and cunning—Mother Gothel from Tangled is not your average villain. While she doesn’t have magical powers like Ursula or Yzma, she uses emotional manipulation as her primary weapon, which makes her even scarier in some ways. She’s the kind of villain that strikes close to home because her brand of evil feels disturbingly real.

What’s striking about this Funko Pop is how well it captures the duality of Mother Gothel’s character. From the outside, she’s elegant, with her long, flowing dark curls and regal red dress. But look closer, and you’ll notice the cold, calculated expression on her face—almost as if she’s scheming her next move to keep Rapunzel locked away forever.

This figure is a testament to the genius of Disney’s character design. It shows how beauty can mask something much darker beneath the surface. Mother Gothel might be beautiful, but her intentions are far from it. As a Funko Pop, she’s a reminder of the lengths some people will go to, all while pretending to love and care.

For fans of Tangled, this is a must-have—especially if you love complex villains who make you question what "family" really means.


4. Jafar Funko Pop! (#1519)

Now, onto the ever-scheming, power-hungry, and slightly creepy Jafar from Aladdin. Jafar is the ultimate puppet master, pulling strings behind the scenes, hypnotizing the Sultan, and relentlessly pursuing power. As the royal vizier, Jafar may act like he’s simply an adviser, but deep down, we all know he’s up to no good.

This Funko Pop captures his menacing persona perfectly. From the raised eyebrow to the tightly gripped staff, Jafar’s figure screams of deceit and ambition. The deep reds and purples of his attire make this Pop stand out visually, and his signature twisted beard adds that extra level of sinister flair.

Jafar fans will appreciate the attention to detail on this Funko Pop. It’s like the essence of the character is bottled into this little figure—calculated, power-hungry, and always one step ahead of the game (or at least he thinks so). Add this one to your collection, and let Jafar scheme from the safety of your shelf!


5. Gaston Funko Pop! (#1518)

“Gaston, you are positively primeval!”—Belle might have gotten it right with that one. Gaston from Beauty and the Beast is a villain who is full of himself, to say the least. He's the kind of guy who thinks he's the hero of the story, even when he’s clearly the villain. His ridiculous ego, constant flexing, and toxic masculinity make him one of Disney’s most entertaining bad guys.

This Funko Pop does an amazing job at capturing that smugness we’ve all come to associate with Gaston. He stands tall, with his chest puffed out and arms crossed, almost as if he’s about to break out into his infamous song about how great he is. The detail in his muscular build, exaggerated by Funko’s signature stylization, makes it clear: Gaston truly believes no one is better than him.

What makes this Funko Pop special is that it manages to capture both Gaston’s humor and his darker side. Yes, he’s funny in a "roll-your-eyes" kind of way, but he’s also a reminder of the dangers of unchecked arrogance and entitlement. Gaston collectors will love this one not just because of its design but because it’s a perfect reminder of how fun it is to hate-love this particular villain.
