Jake Portman

Jake Portman, the central protagonist of Ransom Riggs' novel Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, was immortalized as a Funko Pop! figure in 2016. The release coincided with the theatrical debut of Tim Burton’s film adaptation, marking an attempt by Funko to capitalize on the visual aesthetics of the dark fantasy franchise. The figure depicts Jake in his casual, modern attire, serving as a standard entry in the extensive Pop! Movies line during a period of rapid expansion for the brand.

The figure was designed by Funko's internal creative team to maintain the stylized, oversized-head aesthetic characteristic of the line, while incorporating subtle details to reflect the character’s cinematic appearance. Reception was largely driven by the existing fanbase of the book series and the broad marketing push of the film. Like many figures produced for mid-2010s literary adaptations, it is recognized more for its place as a representative piece of the franchise’s media tie-in era than for unique sculptural innovation.
