Hocus Pocus is a movie that was almost completely off my radar until very recently. It was released in 1993, when I was in high school, but I was only vaguely aware of it. I gather that it flopped at the box office but gained a massive cult following through continual airing on the Disney Channel and Freeform in the three decades since (neither of which channels I has access to until the last 5 years or so). I even worked at video rental stores for many years and we just didn't stock it. I was forced to watch it a few years ago for the first time. This was by friends who had a deep nostalgia for it from their childhood. Without that wistful slant, I honestly wasn't a huge fan. It was very over-the-top and silly with caricatures I found too childish (and I am very immature). But that said, I was glad to finally see this cult hit. I loved the colorful design of the Sanderson Sisters as well as the actors playing them. I've wanted to add them to my collection in some way, but none of the product so far felt quite right.
Recently I stumbled across this Funko Minis set exclusive to Five Below. (They aren't Mystery Minis since they aren't packaged blind). They're cute, unobtrusive, and fun. If they ever come out with classic 6" scale versions, I would definitely get them, but until then, these are my favorite merchandise of the Sanderson Sisters. Let's check them out below!
WINIFRED SANDERSON
Note that there is a fourth figure of Winifred as a stone statue.
This is readily available at FiveBelow but I opted to just set the three standard sisters.

Time for a Comparison Pic!
Cheers!
