Super fans love to have a collectible from their favorite movies, TV shows, games, music… you name it! If you enjoy something, you’ll want to collect everything and anything related to it. This is why Funko Pops are great yet accessible merchandise for fans. They make vinyl figures of almost everything related to pop culture and entertainment, and since many of them have limited releases, there’s a high demand for many of them.
1. Clockwork Orange: Alex DeLarge (Glow in the Dark)
Whether you’re a fan of Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of A Clockwork Orange or the award-winning novel, this is a highly sought-after Funko Pop among collectors that goes for thousands. What sets it apart is that it is a glow-in-the-dark chase release. Additionally, the model is slightly different from the standard one, with the character holding a cane, and this chase does not.
2. Freddy Funko as Jaime Lannister (Bloody)
Freddy Funko is the mascot of Funko Pop and is known to be quite a rare collectible, so you will see different variations of him that go for thousands in the market.

3. Willy Wonka & Oompa Loompa (Golden Ticket)
This is one of the most expensive Funko Pops currently in the world, with only ten made. This Funk Pop set is a two-pack of Willy Wonka and an Oompa Loompa in gold.
