Funko
Welcome to the vault, your home for the latest Funko Pop collecting tips and deep dives into the rarest vinyl figurines on the market! Funko Pop collecting has become one of Australia’s most popular hobbies, captivating fans with the wide variety of figures available locally and through secondary markets. Founded in 1998, Funko rose to global prominence, but the first vinyl Pop! figurines didn’t appear until 2010 at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC), launching with three lines: Heroes (10 figurines), Marvel (2), and Ad Icons (3). While some ultra-rare numbered figures are primarily available overseas, Australian collectors enjoy a thriving market through local retailers, online marketplaces, and specialty stores.
Among the most valuable Funko Pops worldwide, the most expensive ever sold remains the Willy Wonka Golden Ticket two-pack, released in 2016 at SDCC — an ultra-rare collectible with only 10 pieces ever made. This exclusive set is also considered the rarest Funko Pop in existence. Completing the top three most valuable Funko Pops are the 2013 Clockwork Orange (Glow in the Dark) and the 2012 SDCC Freddy Funko as Iron Man (Metallic). For Funko Pop collectors in Australia and around the world, these ultra-limited editions represent the pinnacle of rarity, value, and demand in the Funko Pop market.

2027 LEAKS?
Over 75 unconfirmed Funko Pop leaks have surfaced for early 2027. A few of the unexpected but welcome ones are Doctor Who’s River Song and the Zoo Animals capibara and red panda.
The upcoming lineup introduces highly anticipated updates to long-dormant cartoon lines, alongside specialized figure categories like Pop Rides, such as American Dad and Fast & Furious (1).
I Wish They Made This
It is a baffling omission that Falkor from The NeverEnding Story still has not received an official Funko Pop.
Despite the immense popularity of the character and the fact that he marked an entire generation with his serene wisdom, soulful eyes, and iconic flights through Fantasia, a dedicated toy line still completely lacks representation in the vinyl collectible world.
This frustrating gap in ’80s nostalgia rosters is almost certainly a matter of licensing and estate rights, which frequently trap beloved classic properties in legal limbo and keep manufacturers from bringing them to life. Until those corporate knots are finally untangled, fans are left empty-handed, though I would absolutely love to have this fluffy, kind giant in my collection to finally bring some luck to the shelf.
We are waiting, Funko!
From the Funko Vault
The Vincent Vega #61 Funko Pop! stands as a premier piece of cinematic vinyl, capturing the cool, slicked-back aesthetic of Quentin Tarantino’s legendary neo-noir masterpiece.
Collectors tracking this particular release will find it firmly cemented in “Vaulted” status. Within local Australian secondary markets, the scarcity of this classic Pop! has driven its trading value upward, with pristine examples typically changing hands for anywhere between $115 and $240 AUD based on box condition.
Immortalized by John Travolta, Vincent Vega remains a definitive titan of 1990s pop culture. Far more than a standard, stone-faced mob hitman, his character anchored the film’s brilliant, conversational rhythm—whether debating European fast-food naming conventions with Jules Winnfield or reluctantly twisting on the dance floor at Jack Rabbit Slim’s. Carrying a suave yet chaotic energy masked by a sharp black suit and a deadpan demeanor, Vega perfectly crystallized the gritty, darkly comedic, and effortlessly cool spirit that redefined modern independent cinema.
