On Wednesday, Funko kicked off day two of its Funkoween online product reveal event with a heavy helping of “The Nightmare Before Christmas” reveals. But the Tim Burton classic wasn’t the only Disney property to get a significant share of reveals; the collectible toymaker closed out the day showcasing over 30 products inspired by the Disney Villains.
Perhaps the most notable of the reveals was the previously shared Disney Villains Pop! train featuring iconic villains Maleficent, The Evil Queen, Captain Hook, Ursula, and Cruella De Vil. The other Disney Villains product reveals may have felt a little familiar for some. That’s because most of the products were first revealed during Funkoween 2021. The majority of the products were initially slated for a fall 2021 release, but for one reason or another, that didn’t happen, which is likely why many of these products returned for this year’s Funkoween.
Returning Products
The bulk of the products featured for 2022 are made up of Funko Pop!, Funko Deluxe Pop!, and jumbo-sized Pop! figures, which were first showcased in 2021. You’ll notice slight variations among some of the figures; for instance, Cruella De Vil swapped out her 2021 white skin tone with a peach color in 2022. You can see the majority of the returning products below:
The standard Pop! figures are due to be released this July, with the Deluxe Pop! figures set for August.

In the image announcing the series, Funko teased the other five figures in the form of silhouettes. The additional Pop! Deluxe figures appear to be Ursula from “The Little Mermaid,” Dr. Facilier and his shadow from “The Princess and the Frog,” Kronk and Yzma from “The Emperor’s New Groove,” and Scar and the hyenas from “The Lion King.” No details on when the additional pieces in the series will be released were announced.
