15 Rare Funko Pop! Figures That Could Be Worth a Fortune in Your Collection

During the 1990s, collectors were obsessed with Beanie Babies. The 2000s saw the rise of Pokemon, and now, the collectibles scene is ruled by Funko Pops!, the charming vinyl figures that transform pop culture icons into adorable, big-eyed, square-headed characters.

With a vast array of licenses, Funko often releases figures that are exclusive to specific retailers, available for a short period, or incredibly rare. After analyzing recent auction results and consulting Funko price guides, we’ve identified several figures fetching impressive sums—some even worth more than their weight in gold. You might just have one of these hidden gems in your collection. Here are 15 of the most valuable and highly sought-after Funko Pop! figures that could turn into a significant payday on the resale market.
