And with the holidays upon us, you will want to strike first and strike hard before it’s too late…
Johnny Lawrence And Daniel LaRusso Funko Pops
Nothing says fandom quite like a Funko Pop! collection, and that makes this pair of vinyl figures a must-have for that Cobra Kai or Karate Kid fan in your life. Wearing their iconic outfits from the final showdown at the 1984 All Valley Karate Championship, these figures were made to be together, no matter if they’re staring one another down or standing back-to-back after becoming reluctant allies.

Cobra Kai Original Soundtrack Triple Album
The Cobra Kai original score, composed by Leo Birenberg and Zach Robinson, is honestly one of the best things about the Netflix streaming series with its perfect mix of dramatic orchestrations, hard-hitting rock anthems, and all that moody vaporwave droning throughout the first three seasons. Now that music can be yours with the Cobra Kai original soundtrack vinyl record set. The first LP is inspired by Cobra Kai Dojo, the second album is dedicated to Miyagi-Do, and the third record contains music from the final fights in all three season finales. On top of that, the Mondo version of the triple album comes with a bonus cassette tape.

Wait until the Karate Kid fan in your life opens up a box containing this sweet yellow Cobra Kai All Valley Karate Championship shirt from that first showdown between everyone’s favorite blonde jerk and a recent transplant from the East Coast. This shirt is bright, bold, and stylish as it is practical and gives off the impression that it was from the era in which the iconic matchup of the two young martial artists first went down.

Featuring the silhouette of a bonsai tree along with text showing where the karate master was from (Okinawa) and where he’s come to (Resida), this timeless comfort tee is definitely something special. This officially licensed blue shirt pops with the contrast of the red sun rising behind the bonsai tree representing Japan’s history and will look great on everyone.

Cobra Kai: The Karate Kid Saga Continues Graphic Novel
One of the best things about Cobra Kai is the way it helps show another side of Johnny Lawrence, a side we never got to see in 1984’s The Karate Kid. And just like in the show, the Cobra Kai: The Karate Kid Saga Continues graphic novel shows how the showdown at the All Valley Championship forever changed the life of the future Cobra Kai sensei and continues to do so more than 35 years later. Whether you want to introduce the story to someone who has yet to watch the show or that person in your life that just can’t get enough of the hit series, Denton J. Tipton’s 96-page tale of the leg-sweeping, dirt bike-riding, blonde-haired martial artist’s story. Plus, it’s filled with amazing artwork showing some of Lawrence’s most pivotal moments.

NECA Karate Kid Action Figure 2 Pack
This All Valley Karate Championship action figure set featuring Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence from 1984’s The Karate Kid.

And while these figures have multiple points of articulation, they aren’t really meant to be used as a toy and instead used for decorations on your desk, shelf, or anywhere else out of the reach of young children (kids love to tear these apart).
