Every day there are new things popping up in pop culture and making people go crazy over them. Nowadays, one of the biggest things that movie buffs and game lovers have been going wild over are Funko Pop toys. These cute, and sometimes creepy, little action figures started being released around 2010-2011 and since then they have only increased in popularity.
Some of them are super common and you can pick up most of them for under $20, but others are super rare and can go up into the thousands. There are literally Funko Pop toys for everything that you can imagine; even some of the older Disney movies like Aladdin and Dumbo have had their characters turned into Pop figures.
Updated June 28, 2022, by Gabrielle Huston: Funko Pops are a phenomenon that never really went away. After the initial burst of obsession, things may have quieted down a little, but you surely still see them all over store shelves.
10 Genie (Metallic Blue): $700
One figure based off of a Disney character that is pretty valuable is the famous Genie from the original Disney movie. The metallic version of this figure is worth more than the regular blue and can be picked up for around $700, whereas the regular blue version can be snatched up on Amazon for around $400.
This little guy was originally released in 2013, as part of an exclusive San Diego Comic Con release, with the typical number of 480 released to the public. The metallic version of this figure has a really nice coloring and a lot of detail to the genies face and outfit.
9 Silver Superman: $700
This Funko Pop Figure was a Hot Topic exclusive. The Silver Superman was given out to Hot Topic employees who were doing particularly well in their jobs. As a result, this Superman, along with the Harley Quinn mentioned before, were never actually released in stores, so they are super hard to find.
There were only 144 Silver Supermans produced and released, so if you are able to add one of these to your collection then consider yourself pretty lucky, as they are one of the hardest Pop Figures to come across. Although it is rare, this one will set you back less than some of the others.
8 Batman (Blue Metallic): $790
There are a couple of different Batman Funko Pop toys available, but the blue metallic one is pretty rare. This is the classic Batman Funko Pop vinyl that was released in 2010. It is one of the very first vinyl exclusives that the company released years ago and goes for around $800.
There was a limited number of these made, only four hundred and eighty, making them even harder to find. This Pop Figure is not an easy one for collectors to get their hands on and requires a lot of digging in order to find one in perfect condition.
7 Batgirl (Metallic): $800
It only makes sense that Batgirl would be on this list, alongside Batman. This Metallic Batgirl is pretty hard to find, and if you are lucky enough to get your sights on one be prepared to send at least a couple of hundred dollars on her.
They are all priced around $780-$800 but have been known to go a bit high depending on where in the world you are located. The price of this Pop figure seems to be on the rise, as it has steadily increased over the past couple of months.
6 Planet Arlia Vegeta: $820
Planet Arlia Vegeta is from Dragon Ball Z and is priced fairly high. The reason that this Funko Pop toy is priced so high, and the prices only seem to be rising, is because it is a Toy Tokyo exclusive from Comic Con. As a result, there were only a limited number made, therefore if you want one then you most likely had to buy it from a second party seller.
Even though it is a Comic Con exclusive, it is still priced higher then any other of the exclusive Funko Pop toys that were exclusives to this event. The price has not stopped people from buying them, as it is pretty hard (but not impossible) to find one under $1,000.
5 Green Lantern (GITD): $1140
It's a bit funny that this one has made the list and is one of the higher priced figures, because the 2011 film did not do well in the box office at all. It basically bombed, leaving fans and actors disappointed around the globe.
However, the Glow in The Dark edition that was released as an exclusive at San Diego Comic Con has proved to do increasingly well with collectors around the world. Many have speculated that it is because this specific pop figure is very aesthetically pleasing to look at.
There were only 240 of these made and they go for an upwards of $1,100 nowadays online.
4 Loki (The Avengers): $1200

Loki is the adopted son of Odin and the brother of Thor, so he has quite the family name to live up to. Maybe that it why this Pop Figure goes for around $1200! Loki got a full Funko Pop makeover when this version of the figure appeared at San Diego Comic Con in 2012.
Originally Funko made a line of Avengers figures that covered all of the main heroes; however, fans were not satisfied. So, they were granted their wish when a complete set of characters were released at Comic Con, including the villains. If you weren’t lucky enough to grab one at that year's Comic Con, then you may have trouble getting your hands on one.
3 Star Wars Shadow Trooper: $1500

One of the rarest Funko Pop Toys ever is the Star Wars Shadow Trooper who is yet another San Diego Comic Con exclusive. This Funko Pop Toy appeared a while back in 2011. This is definitely one that you will want to add to your Star Wars Funko Pop collection as it is one of the rarest and hardest to find.
The Star Wars Shadow Trooper was not produced very much, and there are only 480 distributed. As you can imagine, it is pretty hard to get a hold of one of these. If you are lucky enough to grab one of these it can set you back almost $2,000.
2 Silver Batman: $1600
Yet another Batman to make this list, this time it's the coveted Silver Batman. This is yet another figure that was released as a reward to Hot Topic employees who have done exceptionally well at their job. Silver Batman was released in 2015.
Although this Batman may be a bit small, he will cause your wallet to take quite a hit if you wish to add him to your collection. The cheapest Silver Batman that we were able to find online went for around $1600. Since they were only given to employees and never had an official release, they are pretty rare and hard to come by.
1 Dumbo (Clown Face & Gold): $2500

Now this one may seem a bit strange because, well, it is Dumbo, the elephant that had ginormous ears and decided to use them as wings to impress all of the other animals (though Disney didn't deem it very child-friendly, in the end). But this specific version of the figure is actually one of the hardest to find.
There is a total of three different kinds of Dumbo Pop figurines: the clown face, the gold version and the metallic blue. There were only 48 pieces released of both the clown face and gold versions whereas there were 480 released of the metallic blue. If you are looking to get either the gold or the clown face figures, then expect to pay well over $2,500 a piece.
