There is no other collectible on the market right now as hot as Funko Pops. This is undeniable. The big head vinyl toys have taken over because of the fact that they hit every corner of fandom, creating figures based on every property you can imagine, even though there are a few movies we feel Funko is missing out on.
Because of the demand for these toys, there is a incredibly large secondary market, which means that prices will vary from what they originally sold for. That got us thinking. What are the most expensive Funko Pops we could find on a site like eBay, where numerous collectors are all fighting to own the same rare Pop figures.
After searching eBay for far too long, here are 10 of the most expensive Funko Pops we found on the bidding site in a single day. Most of these selections are Pops users are actually bidding on, so someone is actually going to buy it. We also included a couple of “Buy it now” Pops just to show how expensive some people value these vinyl figures.
Planet Arlia Vegeta
Price as of this writing: $1,625
According to the seller, this is for two Funkos they received during a Christmas party. They believe that these Pops are legitimate as they are too detailed to be “Chinese fakes.” I had no clue there was a Chinese fake Funko market. Please link me to sites that sell Chinese fakes. I’m interested in this now.

Nelson Cruz
Price as of this writing: $520
This Nelson Cruz Pop is apparently very rare, limited to 23, according to the seller. They were exclusive to Safeco Field. I’d be most curious to know what the seller paid for it originally and how much the current reserve for it is. This is probably the most expensive Funko Pop baseball figure ever.

Glow In The Dark Billy
Price as of this writing: $353
The seller of this Saw Pop assures us that it is a real one from San Diego Comic-Con and not a Chinese fake. As someone who has covered Comic-Con for 10 years, I can tell you how hard it is to get exclusive toys from that show, but again, what’s with the Chinese fake comment? I need to learn more about black market Pops.

Boba Fett From The Droids TV Show
Winning bid: $515
This Funko Pop comes from the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con, and the seller claims it is in 9.5/10 condition. There is, however, no mention of Chinese fakes. Can we be sure this isn’t one if the seller hasn’t mentioned it?

Golden Frieza
Winning bid: $325
This golden Frieza comes straight from Comic-Con 2015, and the seller has highlighted the fact it has red eyes. Once again, proceed with caution if you plan on bidding on it as there is no Chinese fake mention.

Qui Gon Jinn
Winning Bid: $334.50
Back in the year 2016, New York Comic-Con exclusively released this Star Wars Pop. It was limited to 2,000 pieces. I’m beginning to think that this “Chinese fake” thing is a fluke. Maybe the ones that mentioned they’re not fakes are actually the real fakes. eBay sellers are using some real solid reverse psychology here… or are they?

Genie
Price as of this writing: $770
The seller of this Pop is a total pro at eBay, and I know this because their description section is a well-oiled machine, covering everything from how they ship it to where its stored to the fact they are not responsible for shipping damages. Also, this Genie is metallic and from San Diego Comic-Con, but that’s not as important as the time and effort put into the description section.

Jack Skellington
Price as of this writing: $750
This Jack Skellington Pop glows in the dark and is a Toy Tokyo exclusive; however, that’s not what we should be highlighting here. The seller of this Pop has some of the best item descriptions I’ve seen on eBay. They kick it off by thanking you for reading that section of the auction–you’re welcome. They continue warning that if you live in a high-theft area, the seller cannot show up to defend the package. And then, the seller goes on to say Pop collectors are finicky and need to look closely at the pictures for the product. This is the most entertaining item description area I’ve seen on my journey. Thank you.
The seller leaves you with life lessons that we should all follow: “Do not skip leg day. Be excellent to each other. Peace be the journey.”

Freddy Funko As Jamie Lannister
Aside from the bidding side of things, there are tons of “Buy it now!” Funko Pops you can pick up, as long as you got the cash, and I thought it would be a good idea to give you an example of what you can find there. You can get rare Pops for a decent price, or you can slip into a sea of delusion, like with these last two entries.
Buy it now price: $47,000
This Funko is ultra-rare, only 12 of them made. It’s the mascot of Funko as one of the characters from Game of Thrones. This is very expensive, and the item description for this isn’t funny, which just bums me out.

Stan Lee
Buy it now price: $200,000
This is the most expensive item I found in my search for pricey Pops. It’s two metallic Stan Lee Pops signed by the Marvel legend himself. The pair are priced at $200k. According to the seller, only 10 of these exist in the entire world–10 of the gold and 10 of the silver. I’m not gonna tell you how to spend your money, but this is a bit silly. There are much better ways for you to spend that hard-earned cash.
A list of things you could also get for the price of this Funko Pop:
- A house
- 5 nice cars
- 10 pretty alright cars
- 20,000 movies from Google Play/iTunes/Vudu/Movies Anywhere
- 2 years at Harvard
