Deadpool has recently become one of the biggest characters in the Marvel Universe after having decades of a niche fanbase at best. Thanks to the mega-success of the Ryan Reynolds-led movies, Deadpool has become a hotter commodity than just about any hero in the Marvel world, and with that comes the demand for the best Deadpool toys. Marvel has always killed it in the toy department, and Deadpool is no stranger to that treatment.
I’ve been a Deadpool fan for years now and was just appalled when he got the original on-screen treatment he got Thor vs Superman: The Ultimate Face-Off with X-Men Origins: Wolverine, so when Ryan Reynolds took the franchise to the promised land, I was a happy camper and more than happy to grab a few Deadpool toys of my own in the process to celebrate it.
Deadpool toys come in a ton of different varieties and can be found everywhere from Amazon to Etsy, and the types of toys are pretty awesome as well, with some being fully useable props or fully interactive action figures. Let’s check out everything we can find in the universe of Deadpool toys.
Selection Criteria
Well Made
We’re going to be looking for Deadpool toys that are not only cool looking but come ready to handle the trials and tribulations that most toys go through when being played with. That means the material has to be good enough to survive multiple play sessions.
Accuracy
We want our Deadpool toys to look like they lept right out of the comics and into our hands, so things like fan interpretations and the like will be allowed as long as they are accurate to the character.
Fun to Play With
What good is a toy if you can’t play with it? While some toys are definitely cool for just decorating places with, most of the toys on this list need to be able to be played with. Whether that’s setting them up or having cool attachments, it’s got to have something cool or unique about it.
Flexible
Action figures are best when their limbs can be moved in various directions, and that’s a need for us here. Deadpool is an incredibly athletic character, so his toys need to be equally athletic so they can match his overall awesomeness.
Accessorized
Deadpool’s arsenal is pretty nuts, and the anti-hero is known for carrying all varieties of guns, swords, and explosives, so our Deadpool toys should be along the same lines for sure when it comes to an equippable arsenal.
Bottom Line Up Front
Samurai Deadpool is the best toy you can find in the Deadpool world. It’s incredible looking, has great accessories attached to it, and is also sizable, flexible, and is just overall awesome to look at. It’s a bit pricey, but if you want the best Deadpool toy, there is, then you will find nothing better.

Quantum Mechanix Deadpool Unicorn Selfie

Marvel Hasbro Legends Series Blue Deadpool
Deadpool is classically in a red and black costume, but on certain occasions, he has donned a different look on occasion and here, that look comes to life as he dons the X-Men original blue and yellow to apparently parody the force that he has been close to joining over the years but never quite been accepted. Deadpool comes with two swords here and multiple guns, and the smooth, metallic blue color gives this action figure a different flavor than most. You can also fully move the arms and legs in any direction you’d like allowing for plenty of different playing scenarios.

Deadpool is wearing an awesome amount of holsters here, making him look like one of the most fearsome versions of the character yet.

Chubby Deadpool
Deadpool has never been one who has cared about what kind of food he puts in his stomach and has frequently spoken of his love for chimichangas; well, what if he went overboard at some point? The result could be something like this hilarious action figure, which gives you a posable Deadpool that has had a bit too much to eat and is holding a pizza. He’s still got a gun in the other hand, though, so even though he’s a bit bloated, he’s still deadly. He’s also got a stuffed unicorn strapped to his back, so yeah, this is very much a Deadpool toy.

- Deadpool holding pizza
- Well detailed
- Cool accessories
Cons
- Can’t really pose it much
- More of a decoration, although it can be played with as well

X-Force Retro Deadpool
Deadpool has played the hero on more than one occasion in the Marvel universe, and here, you get him all decked out in his heroic X-Force garb. This gives him a bit of a blue shade to his normal red and black to give him a more heroic look than normal, but make no mistake, the merc with a mouth is fully decked out in typical fashion here with two submachine guns, a pistol, two swords and even a machine gun to boot. You can pose this toy any way you like to create some fun scenarios. You don’t often see Deadpool toys in X-Force gear, so collectors will want to take note of this one for sure.

To say this toy is a rarity is an understatement. It stars the underused but clearly awesome in every way Venompool, which is the unique amalgamation of Venom and Deadpool in another universe. This Funko Pop is bursting with personality and is also a little bit creepy as well, which is just what you should expect from a character like Venompool in the first place.
