We'll discuss why these top 15 are considered some of the most expensive as we go down the list and this exploration should be enlightening. Of course, the value of Funko Pop Vinyls can change based on the market, so there might be some models that are more valuable which are not listed below. You can expect to pay a pretty penny for any item on this list though!
15. Mickey Mouse (Metallic)- $1,700
This Mickey Mouse Pop Vinyl is an icon for Disney lovers. This Pop is Walt Disney's original concept for what Mickey Mouse first looked like. This Pop was produced by Funko for the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con convention. Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult to find this Pop.
There are a few out there, but most are being sold as used. Obviously, if you want it brand new, the cost is going to go up. If you don't have the money to buy the metallic version of Mickey Mouse, you can still find older versions that don't cost more than a thousand dollars.
14. Pop King Felix Gold- $1,795
Metallic Pop Vinyls are a bit more expensive because of their rarity. The Pop King Felix Gold is no exception. It is a metallic vinyl pop that was created to honor Felix Hernandez, a notable baseball pitcher. He was nicknamed King Felix because of his success for his ability to throw out strikeouts.
This is another rare find which is why it is close to $2,000. Baseball fans who know their history will definitely want to have something as valuable as this.
13. Stan Lee Signed (Gold)- $1,935
Marvel fans all look forward to seeing Stan Lee's cameos in any Marvel film that is just released. So imagine having a Funko Pop Vinyl that was signed by him! In addition to finding signed versions of this vinyl pop, it also comes in gold.
Any die-hard Marvel would jump at a chance to proudly display this figurine of Stan Lee in their house. It may not be the most pricey of collectibles but it doesn't mean it is worth any less.
12. Gold Bape Baby Milo- $2,200
It may be surprising to find out that a little ape can cost $2,000, but it's true. Baby Milo was created by BAPE and Sanrio to celebrate the 50th anniversary of this clothing's brand success. Funko Pop Vinyls are created to commemorate special or important events, like this one.
If you like collecting your pop vinyls in metallic, the metallic version of Baby Milo can be found for a similar price. There are definitely different versions available but you won't find that collector's pride that you get when you buy the collector's version.
11. Arlia Vegeta New York Comic Con- $3,500
Planet Arlia Vegeta was released because of the popularity of the DBZ anime. Vegeta is one of the main characters and wants to destroy everyone living on earth and then sell the planet. This Funko was a great hit for fans of the show. Only a few were produced and so the value and cost of these pop vinyls increased exponentially. It was released during the New York Comic-Con and was an exclusive release.
10. Star Wars #266 Luke Skywalker- $4,000
George Lucas created the Star Wars series. It since took off as one of the most popular franchises in history. This obsession has continued as Disney has taken over the production of the shows. Because of the popularity of the series, Funko Pop Vinyls of each Star Wars character has been frequently released and can be easily found.
However, the Star Wars #266 Luke Skywalker is a metallic vinyl pop which means that it automatically becomes more rare and valuable. They're much more difficult to find, which is why it is worth $4000. You may be able to find it for a little bit less depending on what site you go to, but it will still cost thousands of dollars.
9. Marvel Metallic Spiderman- $5,000
Spiderman has definitely become a popular Marvel superhero. This character has become even more popular with the new Marvel movies starring Tom Holland. Getting a Spiderman collectible to show your pride as a Marvel-know-it-all may be the way to go.
This Pop Vinyl is certainly one that will look cool on your shelf. This Pop was produced in conjunction with the movie “The Amazing Spiderman.” If you were one of the lucky individuals to have bought it during the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con convention, you have something extremely valuable. However, for the rest of you who are yearning to add this to your collection, it is going to cost quite a bit.
8. Freddy Funko as Chocula (Metallic)- $5,000
Freddy Funko is a beloved Pop Vinyl because he is Funko's mascot. He appears in most of the costumes of the characters in different franchised companies. You might find him dressed up as Superman. Or, you might see him dressed up as one of the Simpsons.
Whatever pop vinyl that you want to collect, it is likely that Freddy Funko is going to be part of that collection. This is definitely the case for this Pop.
Freddy Funko is dressed up as Chocula. Count Chocula is one of the characters for a line of monster-themed cereal. What better way to market a delicious breakfast cereal than to make Freddy Funko a mascot for Count Chocula?
This is also a metallic pop vinyl and is a limited edition. So, if you want to commemorate breakfast with a little bit of chocolate cereal, perhaps Freddy Funko as Chocula could be your morning mascot.
7. Boo Berry (GITD)- $5,570
Boo Berry is another breakfast cereal that comes out during Halloween. Having a glow-in-the-dark Funko Pop is going to make a perfect addition to your Halloween decorations…if you happen to have almost $6,000 to spend.
Making glow-in-the-dark collectibles is extremely difficult because of the materials the company has to use. And because it is marketed around Halloween, this model is both limited and expensive.
It was released in 2010 and is now a retired Funko Pop. This is also one of the reasons that it is so expensive to get. Every time a Funko Pop is retired, the value goes up. Only those who bought them still have them and so they can set a high value for those wanting to own the retired model for themselves.
6. Dumbo (Clown Paint)- $6,350
Once again, we have returned to Disney. Disney anniversaries of movies are always a big deal, especially when it comes to the classics. Movies like Pinnochio, Robin Hood, Lelo & Stitch, and Dumbo are all well-known and loved. Dumbo is one of the most endearing characters out there. His courage and big ears make him a special collectible. There are metallic pop vinyls of Dumbo, as well as the basic pop vinyls.
Although they are special in their own right, the most valuable Dumbo Pop Vinyl is Dumbo wearing his clown paint. All Dumbo lovers know how hard Dumbo tries to fit into the circus and to find his own place. The clowns take him in and make him a part of their group. This edition was released at the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con convention.
Because there are only 48 Funko Pop Vinyls of this Dumbo in the world, each of them is extremely rare and expensive. If you have to have Dumbo added to your collection with his adorable face paint, be prepared to pay a hefty price.
5. Star Wars- Darth Maul (Holographic)- $7,000
The Holographic Darth Maul Pop Vinyl was released in 2011, in preparation for the 2012 Comic-con convention. 480 collectibles were made which may seem like a lot. However, this amount goes quickly when there are die-hard Star Wars fans involved. Not only is this a more limited collectible, but it is also a glow-in-the-dark figurine which means that it is even more valuable.
Even though Darth Maul may be the one who killed Obi-Won Kenobi, Star Wars fans must admit that he is an impressive character. He is not one that is easily forgotten, and with the release of Solo, fans may be wondering what other roles Darth Maul will play in the Star Wars series. This reintroduction definitely pulled fans back to the origins of Star Wars and made this Funko more coveted.
4. Stan Lee (Superhero) (Red Metallic)- $8,000
The death of important people in the film industry always makes a Pop Vinyl of them even more important. When Stan Lee died, fans were devastated. There would be no more cameos in any of the coming Marvel movies. However, Funko Pop vinyls helped to immortalize this man even more by creating limited editions of him.
One of these limited editions is Stan Lee dressed up as a superhero, as a metallic. There were only 12 Pops created of this version of Stan Lee. This makes it extremely valuable. This is the reason why this Pop is bordering $10,000. Those who bought these Pops when they were at retail are extremely unlikely to sell something so precious off for anything less than $8,000.
3. Freddy Funko as Chocula (GITD)- $10,000
As mentioned above, Freddy Funko is a popular Pop character to get because he is dressed up in so many character's costumes. If you thought that the metallic Pop of Freddy Funko as Chocula was expensive, it was nothing compared to this Pop.
Freddy Funko reappears as Chocula, but with the ability to glow-in-the-dark. This Pop was released in 2011, so finding this Pop at retail price is going to be impossible. Since only 12 Pops were made, Freddy Funko as a glow-in-the-dark Chocula sells for at least $10,000.
2. Marvel Civil War- Black Panther signed by Chadwick Boseman- $15,000
Marvel Civil War was a great release for the Marvel industry. It was a great success and Pop vinyls that were created of the different characters became a popular option to buy. One such character was Black Panther. Viewers may not have been fully familiar with his back story yet, but he was a powerful and captivating character to watch.
This was only solidified by the release of Black Panther. Viewers saw the power that Chadwick Boseman brought to this character. However, this success was dampened by the death of Chadwick Boseman from his struggle with colon cancer just a few years later. ]
As Black Panther, he reached many audiences and touched them in a powerful way than other Marvel superheroes previously had. On-screen, characters loved him. Off-screen, he was just as wonderful a person.
Having a Pop figure signed by Chadwick Boseman would create such a powerful memory for anyone who owned that figurine. Obviously, there aren't many Pop vinyls made of Black Panther that have been signed, which makes it such a valuable Pop to own.
Fans around the world want to memorialize this character, and a Pop vinyl can help them do this. However, it is extremely difficult to find one that was actually signed by Chadwick Boseman.
1. Game of Thrones Jaime Lannister (Bloody)- $33,000
The TV series Game of Thrones became a worldwide hit soon after it hit. Jaime Lannister was a character that had fans either rooting for him to overthrow Queen Cersei, or rooting for him to die. When he kills Aerys Targaryen, he earns the nickname of “Kingslayer.” This may have turned fans away from him, or earned him an even stronger place in fans' hearts. Whatever the case may have been, Funko Pop capitalized on the popularity of the show.
They created a Pop figurine of Freddy Funko dressed up as Jaime Lannister covered in blood, showing his strength as a skilled fighter. Again, the popularity and rarity of Freddy Funko dressed as Jaimi Lannister has made this Pop worth the same amount as a new car! Even though owners of this Funko Pop are selling, it is at such a high rate that it is unlikely many can afford to ever call this Pop their own.
