Funko isn’t the only toy company with the “Stranger Things” license, as McFarlane Toys is also in on the fun. Todd McFarlane’s company has recently released a handful of “Stranger Things” action figures already, with several more (including “Punk Eleven” and the lovable ’80s kids in their Ghostbusters costumes) coming soon.

Also coming soon? Barb Holland and a squeezable Baby Dart toy!

The 7″ figure of Barb will be a GameStop Exclusive, releasing in October. The Baby Dart toy is also coming in October; squeezing the toy opens up Dart’s nasty monster mouth.

Images and details below!

Stranger Things – Barbara Holland

One of the most iconic niche characters of the hit TV show Stranger Things. Barbara Holland, or Barb as she’s known by the masses is the geeky cautious best friend of Nancy Wheeler that goes missing. One eerie night in 1983, Barb begrudgingly tags along with Nancy to Steve Harrington’s house for a party. Little does she know that there is a demonic creature from another dimension waiting for her in the bottom of the pool.

  • Spectacular likeness of Barbara Holland sculpted from images of actress Shannon Purser
  • Figure comes with retro Trapper Keeper
  • Figure is featured in iconic 80’s blouse and blue jeans in the Netflix Original Series Stranger Things
  • Designed with 12+ points of articulation for dynamic posing
  • Figure features a stylized Stranger Things branded disk display base and is showcased in retro themed packaging
  • This figure is a worldwide GameStop exclusive

Stranger Things – Squeezable Polliwog D’artanian

The most beloved creature in the hit Netflix TV series Stranger Things, D’artanian, or better known as Dart captivated audiences and formed an unbreakable bond with Dustin Henderson that ultimately saved the lives of Eleven and the rest of the gang. Dart was found in Dustin’s garbage can as a small polliwog on Halloween night and quickly became the star of the show. Dart was named after D’artanian from the Three Musketeers because of his love for the famous chocolate bar.

  • Spectacular likeness of Dart at the polliwog stage
  • Features lizard like tail and paint that mirrors a slimy monster from the Upside Down
  • Jaws open when Dart is squeezed, showing off its iconic mouth and teeth
  • Features soft squeezable texture that measure 4 1/2” long and fits perfect in the palm of the hand
