As I sit here in my humble abode poring over Amazon’s entertainment-friendly Prime Day deals, I am surrounded by Funko Pop figures that represent a vast swath of pop culture interests. For all my current obsessions, it’s safe to say that quite a bit of shelf space honors my favorite movie and TV characters from the 1980s and 1990s. My greedy inner child cannot be silenced sometimes. (Most times.)
So you can bet that I’ve been keeping an eye on all the Funko discounts noted so far during Prime Day, and even though I don’t NEED any additional figures to bolster my collection, it seems silly not to at least LOOK at what’s available, knowing that Amazon already has my payment information for quick purchases. I’m just looking, though… At least at first.

Rocky – Ivan Drago ($11.49, was $14.99)
Lots of classic John Hughes comedies represented above, and those alone are enough to fill up my shopping cart. And it’s not exactly easy to repress the urge to add to my growing assortment of Beetlejuice figures. (My favorite is from the under-remembered animated series, but that’s not so relevant to Prime Day.)
Even more horror-comedy vibes are present when it comes to Funko’s deals for ’80s TV shows.
I’m sure there were some kids in the ’80s who played with Ghostbusters and Jem figures at the same time. This is your time, people!
Now let’s shower some love on ’90s pop culture with these Prime Day deals.
Prime Day Deals On ’90s Movie & TV Funko Pops
Can we all agree that The Muppet Christmas Carol‘s “Marley and Marley” is one of the all-time greatest Muppet-related songs? It’s not “Rainbow Connection,” sure, but it’s also not as over-used as that track, either. Statler and Waldorf sadly aren’t around for Prime Day deals, which they’d certainly have something to say about, but even Scrooge would think the duo of Bob and Tiiny Tim is a steal.
Amusingly enough, children’s movies and sci-fi/horror fare are the most prominent genres offerings for Prime Day deals on ’90s Funko Pops. Which was 100% up my alley at the time, so no complaints here.
On the ’90s TV side of things, SNL and Matt Groening’s creations are represented well, as seen below.
Hopefully even more Funko Pop figures will make their respective ways into Amazon’s Prime Day entertainment deals. But I’ll still just be looking, and definitely not buying…too much.
