THE VAMPIRE DIARIES – POP! TV No. 1977 – Stefan Salvatore with Chase’s luck

Funko completes its series dedicated to The Vampire Diaries with this POP! TV No. 1977 figurine depicting Stefan Salvatore, the series’ central character played by Paul Wesley. This version captures the appearance of the young vampire from Mystic Falls in the distinctive POP! figurine style, standing approximately 10.9 cm tall.

This item is available with a chance to get a Chase variant. There is a 1 in 6 chance of receiving this alternative version, which depicts Stefan with a more menacing, bloodthirsty vampire appearance. Chase variants are inserted at random into the boxes and are therefore not guaranteed when ordering a single item.

Character background and lore

Stefan Salvatore is one of the main characters in The Vampire Diaries. Portrayed by Paul Wesley, he is a vampire from Mystic Falls and the younger brother of Damon Salvatore. At the start of the series, Stefan returns to his hometown and meets Elena Gilbert, a young woman who bears a striking resemblance to Katherine Pierce, a vampire whom both Salvatore brothers knew and loved in 1864.

Stefan generally strives to retain his humanity and control his thirst for blood. This behaviour contrasts sharply with that of Damon, who embraces his vampiric nature much more readily. Funko describes him as a character haunted by his past and guided by a strong moral conscience, constantly battling the dark side of his personality.

This struggle becomes particularly significant when Stefan relapses into his most violent side, especially when he comes into contact with Klaus Mikaelson. The third series thus explores a period during which Stefan sinks deeper into the darkest aspects of his nature, whilst Damon and Elena seek to bring him back to the person they know.

The Chase variant of this POP! No. 1977 makes direct reference to this duality. The standard version depicts Stefan in his usual form, whilst the Chase variant emphasises his vampiric side and his thirst for blood, thus representing the two essential facets of the character throughout *The Vampire Diaries*.
