Our verdict
Funko's Pocket Pops calendar hides 24 collectable Nightmare Before Christmas figures behind its doors, and a 4.8 rating from 12,747 buyers makes it one of the best-reviewed advent calendars around. The LEGO Harry Potter calendar undercuts it by a few pounds with eight minifigures including Harry, Draco and Luna, plus six creature builds like Hedwig and Buckbeak, rated 4.7 by 4,701. The real split is what happens after Boxing Day: Funko figures go on a shelf, LEGO gets rebuilt into everything else the child owns. Collectors and Burton fans lean Funko; hands-on builders get more play from LEGO.
