Pop culture now shows aliens in both terrifying and adorable forms and your shelf faces  an invasion. The extraterrestrial taste of Funko Pop collectors demands these alien-themed figures which include  both cinematic sci-fi and animated mischief-makers.

A galactic countdown starts here with the top alien-themed  Funko Pops including several vaulted treasures that you should steal as soon as possible.

Fist Up: Top 3 Funko Pops

 🥇 1. Xenomorph – Alien

A terrifying classic. The Pop features exceptional details which  make it look terrifying in a positive way. The glow-in-the-dark variant exists but it remains elusive  for most collectors.

Vaulted? Yes – the OG one from the early Horror series is long  gone. Resale prices are spooky.

🥈 2. Predator – Predator

Sci-fi enthusiasts  need this figure in their collection. The clear version of the Predator stands as the ultimate collector’s item.

 Display this Pop under lights because the clear material will glow nicely.

🥉 3.  Toy Story Alien (aka Little Green Men) – Toy Story

Cute, classic, and oddly  wise. There are special holiday versions of these little guys.

Vaulted? Some of the special edition  3-pack variants are hard to come by now.

4. Roger – American Dad

The king  of disguises. Multiple Rogers exist including limited edition SDCC exclusives.

The SDCC limited run  produced an "Alien" suit for Roger which stands as the most coveted variant.

5. Kang  and Kodos – The Simpsons: Treehouse of Horror

These two come in a  glow-in-the-dark 2-pack. Every Simpsons fan needs these two figures to showcase their knowledge of weird episodes.

 Display Hack: Use UV lighting to really make them pop.

6. Stitch as Alien – Lilo  & Stitch / Disney Halloween Crossover

This recent addition joins the list because of its adorable yet peculiar  nature.

Limited Edition? Yes – part of the Halloween releases. You should purchase it right away since  it will disappear quickly.

7. Alien Remix Series – Pixar Crossover

The Toy Story Alien characters  wear different Pixar character costumes including Buzz Lightyear, Woody and Sulley.

Fun Factor: It's  a meta alien cosplay. A complete set of these Pops would create an enjoyable display arrangement.

 8. Zoidberg – Futurama

Although he doesn't fit the definition of an alien within  his home environment he seems like one to us. 100%. Don’t snub the doctor.

 Vaulted? Yup. The rare-finds area is now his domain.

9. Mangalore Soldier  – The Fifth Element

For deep-cut sci-fi fans. If you know, you know.

 Rarity: More niche = more valuable down the line.

10. ET – E.T. the  Extra-Terrestrial

The little alien contacted home base while bringing his Funko Pop with him. The  version with a glowing heart is one of the most endearing variations.

For a forest at night  ambiance, place ET among plants while using dim lights.

🌍 Bonus Stop: Visit Funko HQ – The Collector’s Mecca

 Funko Headquarters in Everett Washington serves as the central hub for pop culture collecting throughout the  galaxy. The enormous colorful facility serves as more than a retail space because it delivers an immersive experience to  visitors. The headquarters offers oversized figures and themed areas including a sci-fi section while maintaining a Pop factory atmosphere  which allows visitors to experience what a collector might see after being abducted by creativity. Glarnok allegedly  mistook the building for an Earth power station before he attempted to beam the entire structure to space.  No luck… but he did leave with five new Pops.

🌌 How to Display Your Alien Funko  Pops (And Let Them Shine)

Your acquisition of these ten alien beauties needs proper display instead  of random shelf placement. This guide provides you with the perfect method to create a universe-class alien display.

 🛸 1. Light It Up

Aliens glow. The display needs to be  illuminated in a similar way.

The Alien Abduction Lamp (AAL) brings two functions to the  table: it serves as a UFO-shaped lamp and display centerpiece. When you place your preferred Funko  Pop under the light beam it reaches its peak dramatic effect.

🌠 2. Go Vertical

 Create a space station display using risers or tiered stands to display your Pops. A  mirror should be placed behind the highest shelf for additional depth.

💫 3. Theme It Up

 You should display figures according to franchise groups (Pixar, Horror, Classic Sci-Fi) or  organize them by color for an organized display.

🌌 4. Night Mode

The figures  with glowing effects or translucent materials (such as Predator and Kang/Kodos) need LED strip lights or  soft UV lighting for proper illumination.

Final Transmission

Alien-themed Funko Pops combine nostalgic appeal  with sci-fi attitude and strange happy expressions to form perfect shelf accessories. The first ten figures will start  your setup's journey to orbit no matter whether you seek rare items or are building your initial  collection.Under the AAL's tractor beam any Pop looks better. 🛸
