Everyone wants to hold onto great moments as long as possible. That's what makes having a tangible representation of them so special. While a lot of our most cherished memories are from family and friends, they can come from media too. Whether you're laughing with Friends or cheering on The Avengers, our favorite movies, books, and TV shows are always welcoming, comforting memories.

Thanks to Funko Pop figurines, keeping those memories has never been easier. Especially since they exist for just about every highly popular franchise there is, from Marvel to professional sports to our favorite heroes and villains from comics and movies.

That's right. If it's loved and has a faithful fandom, the brand has most likely recreated a collection of 3.75-inch vinyl stylized models for it in the guise of its most popular characters often reenacting pivotal moments.

So what are some of the best Funko pop sets for 2023 which you can gift a true collector (or yourself)?

We've provided a list of our favorites right here. So take a look and see what suits your fancy before you begin or expand your special collection.

All five toys are set on a gleaming black platform on which Walt Disney's trademark logo has been written followed by the words: "Preserve the Magic".

And you can by either adding this to your Mickey Mouse collection or simply basking in Minnie Mouse's greatness on its own.

A win of epic proportions either way.

We'd say they've pretty much nailed it in terms of individuality and instant recognizability too. But then Funko already does with almost everything. And once you place your order, you'd be able to gift yourself these very charming likenesses of one of the world's most successful rock bands.

Who else is needed to complete this heartwarming trio? Westley! And here he is, no longer a farm boy but a lethal warrior in dark clothing and also wielding a sword.

Thanks to these features you can believe us when we tell you that fan in your life will be transported instantly to their favorite scenes in the movie with this very special set of figurines.

Like other Funko Pops, each bobblehead is 4 inches tall. All five collectibles come in the same box, so you can easily preserve the entire set for resale value. You can also unpack them and place them with the rest of your Spider-Man collection.

Holiday-themed collectibles may seem like a once-a-year thing, but for a collector, these unique items can have a higher resale value over time. Even if you're not a collector, it's a great way to add festive cheer and unique Funko Pops to your growing collection. Plus, they're fun to bring out once a year and spice up your home. Add them to your Funko Pop display all year or every February for some festive, Star-Wars Valentine fun.

If you're a collector, Marvel fan, or know someone who is, this set will enable you to give new life to the world-famous phrase: "Avengers Assemble!"

Whether you intend to place them in their very own spot in your collection or even use them to add their own special touch during Hogwarts-themed parties, there's no doubt that the Harry Potters Collectors Set is a must-have for every fan out there.

Their detailed design makes these stylized figurines the ideal birthday or festive season gift to yourself (because why not?) or that special person in your life ensuring the lucky beneficiary will get to experience iconic pop culture moments straight from the WWE's golden era again and again.

With each of these much-loved characters recreating their signature moments on the show, that special person in your life will be able to relive the marvel that kept fans smiling and laughing for 10 years. And that in our opinion makes it an excellent choice of gift for that avid Friends fan.

The shiny platform displaying "Preserve the Magic" in beautiful golden lettering is also a nice touch and the cherry on top of the icing for this collection which looks every inch as enchanting as it reads.
