Earlier this year, we here at GameSpot Universe discovered all the most shockingly expensive Funko Pops for sale at San Diego Comic-Con 2018. Naturally, now that New York Comic Con has come around once again, we were eager to recreate that journey–and not just for our benefit, as you lucky readers get to come along with us.
This week once again we were reminded that whether we’re talking about Beanie Babies, Pokemon cards, or–of course–Funko Pops, there’s always someone willing to pay more for a “holy grail” than what you might happen to consider reasonable. And once again, the results of our latest Comic-Con Funko Pop hunt were shocking and incredible.
Just how rare is rare when it comes to Funko Pops? As we discovered on this amazing journey, some Pops are rare because they were only ever released at a single event, while others were produced in hyper-limited quantities.
At the end of the day, these Funko Pops are just cheap chunks of colored plastic. Their only actual value is the imaginary worth we assign to them. But as with any popular collectible, that doesn’t stop Pop hunters from dropping hundreds–and even thousands–of dollars on them. And in the end, if they bring someone happiness, isn’t that worth it?
Read on to see discover the craziest, rarest, and most expensive Funko Pops we found at New York Comic Con 2018.
