Halloween may come once a year, but Funko has a way of making sure horror fans can carry a bit of darkness with them all year round. In their latest spine-chilling addition, Funko has turned one of modern horror’s most haunting villains—Valak, the terrifying demonic nun from The Conjuring universe—into two unique collectibles. Whether you’re a horror buff who collects every dark gem Funko releases or a casual fan looking for a taste of the macabre, the full-sized Funko Pop! The Nun and the Pocket Pop! keychain bring the unnerving essence of Valak straight to your shelf…or your keyring.
Who is The Nun? A Tale of Horror's Unholy Icon
If you’re not already acquainted with the horrifying visage of The Nun, let’s step into the shadows for a moment. The demonic figure of Valak first appeared in The Conjuring 2 (2016) and quickly became one of the most memorable figures in modern horror cinema. Played masterfully by actress Bonnie Aarons, this evil nun haunts the Warrens—a husband-and-wife team of paranormal investigators—through visions, hauntings, and nightmare-inducing encounters. The Nun character proved so popular that she was given her own spin-off in 2018, The Nun, which dove deeper into the entity's origins, dragging us into the eerie corridors of a remote Romanian abbey to uncover Valak’s dark and disturbing history.
With her pale, decaying face, soulless yellow eyes, and skeletal fingers, Valak isn’t a creature you’d expect to see immortalized as a cute vinyl figure. And yet, Funko has captured her frightening allure in both a 3.75-inch Pop! and an ultra-portable Pocket Pop! keychain. These collectibles manage to be both adorable and absolutely unsettling—a duality that fans of horror and collectors of Funko Pops love. Funko has once again turned something truly terrifying into something delightfully collectible.
What Makes These Figures a Must-Have? A Closer Look at Funko’s The Nun Pop!s
Let’s start with the full-sized Funko Pop! Movies: The Nun. Measuring around 3.75 inches tall, this figure captures every unnerving detail of Valak’s appearance: from the cracked, blood-red veins stretching across her ghostly face to her fierce, piercing yellow eyes that seem to stare right through you. The traditional nun’s habit and cowl are recreated in stark black and white, emphasizing her dark, eerie presence. The twisted grin on her face is frozen in a scream that captures her moment of terror—perfect for adding that dash of horror to any collection.
Then there’s the Pocket Pop! Keychain: The Nun, a miniature version of the same haunting figure, designed to accompany you wherever you go. If the idea of keeping Valak’s face on your keychain sounds like an unusual choice, that’s exactly the appeal. This little keychain brings horror right to your daily routine, giving fans a subtle but thrilling reminder of their love for the darker side of cinema. It’s also a great conversation starter for those who appreciate the finer points of horror collectibles. Who knew something so small could pack such a scare?
Why Collect Both? The Duo’s Perfectly Complementary Appeal
It’s rare to find two figures that work as beautifully together as this pair of The Nun collectibles. The standard-sized Pop! is perfect for display, making it the star of your shelf, desk, or nightstand (if you’re brave enough). It’s a statement piece that reminds you—and everyone who sees it—of the power of a well-crafted horror icon.
Meanwhile, the Pocket Pop! keychain lets you carry that same frightful charm with you. It’s the ideal companion for those of us who don’t want to leave our horror obsession at home. Imagine reaching for your keys, and there’s Valak’s unsettling little face looking up at you. It’s a small thrill in an otherwise ordinary moment, a way to bring a bit of your fandom out into the real world.
Together, these figures give you the best of both worlds: one for your collection and one for your day-to-day. You get to enjoy Valak’s presence in a big, bold way and in a more subtle, portable form. Funko has made it easy to indulge in the macabre, whether you’re at home or on the go.
The Rise of Horror in Funko Collectibles
