Which Mundane Pop Has Surprised You With It's High Price and/or Popularity?

[weird888]

It’s not at all that he’s mundane. It’s just that when the SDCC Steve came out, Hot Topic had trouble selling them, and then when he got popular with Season 2 its value went up like crazy. It’s settled now, but it’s crazy how fast it went up in just a few weeks.

Oh, ok. I was confused because the topic is about mundane characters whose pops are valuable.

I find the same with Luna love good her value shot up alot.

I love Luna's design for that pop. She is my only HP pop besides Snape (RIP Alan Rickman ).

Luna Lovegood shot up in value? When did that happen?!?

The SDCC one? Like a couple of months after the con I think.

Genos, I know he was vaulted but come on, he is a side character and not particularly exciting.

What?! Genos is awesome!

Tenya is the pop im surpised is valued that high. Hes such a boring character for me.

Depends on how you see the characters I guess.

Genos is definitely cooler than Tenya, but he doesn't get that much character development so his character grows pretty stale.

Tenya, on the other hand, has much better development which makes his character a lot more likable imo.

I personally love good character development and it's part of the reason why MHA is so popular right now, which contributes to the higher price for Tenya. (that and the whole "is it vaulted?" and popcultcha fiasco that I'm still really salty about)

Definitely the best Luna design by far imo

All of the MHA pops suddenly rising. I feel like it was fake hype created by shill bidding.

Right now, I think the Faker from MOTU was surprising.

[d00dz]

Definitely Faker. It was sitting at less than $20 for a loooong time and suddenly surged to $100 after the MOTU license cancellation rumors.

[Tynett]

Yeah Faker, Ochaco, and GID all might surprised me quite a bit recently.

[nyel24]

Tenya is surprising to me.

[volsspongebob]

Definitely Faker. It was sitting at less than $20 for a loooong time and suddenly surged to $100 after the MOTU license cancellation rumors.

I cant tell you how many times I passed on that POP at Target. Man, regrets suck. LOL.

I still get upset over the Tenya. Last one of the main characters we need for MHA.

I think it makes collecting exciting when Funko Vaults items so I hope they follow this trend.

I agree with both of you. I don't know why specifically Faker has risen so much - other MOTU has not such as Ram Man, Stinkor, etc.

Wave 1 and SDCC exclusives have risen so much in the last 2 weeks. The recent releases have been slower on the uptick except for Faker.

Still bitter that I passed on that one at the con, and now I collect HP

I know whose house we could rob for that one

I had definitely seen a bunch of these. Since dried up though.

Im surprised by this especially since she was also released as a summer convention available to anyone

[Fnkyeahryry]

Tenya is surprising to me.

Yup! No one cared when he first came out.

Just reached 100% on my Harry Potter set too. Until they announce the next wave. I can’t imagine how hard it is starting now

It’s one of my favorite molds also!

It’s not too bad, tbh. But my main line is SW, which I’ve been collecting for years, so my perspective is skewed.

[Universal_ghost]

The glow in the dark all might from funimation was on their site forever before it sold out then all of sudden jumped in price.

[Thrillofthehunt]

I found out about Spike this week too and it is definitely weird but its arguably the most beloved and unanimously praised anime show out there. I'll surely get flamed for saying it, but MHA is overrated and will lose hype the longer it goes on so I find the notion of paying $120+ for Tenya absurd. I actually find it insulting that the 2nd tier character born with exhaust pipes protruding from his calves is somehow more valuable than Spike Spiegel, but I'm just being an anime snob at this point

The one Pop that surprised me the most though is La Muerte from Book of Life. She has been sitting at $100+ for as long as I've been collecting and I didn't think the movie had that big of a following or did particularly well when it came out. My only guess as to why she stays high is because of how fragile and detailed she is. I display oob and that's the one I fear breaking anytime we shift things around in the display cases or there is an earthquake.

I'm with you on la muerte! It's not like the movie blew up, but this pop is insane

[Thrillofthehunt]

I was surprised how hard it was to get the target bullseye pop. I just wanted it to customize it. I can see the nostalgia of some ad icons like from cereal one would eat when they were a kid, but target's mascot? Well I underestimated that and spent half a day finding one

[Joesandwich123]

Definitely Faker. It was sitting at less than $20 for a loooong time and suddenly surged to $100 after the MOTU license cancellation rumors.

I’m quite upset about Tenya as well, but I wouldn’t blame it entirely on yourself.

The whole vaulting and pre order cancellations fiasco could have been avoided if Funko had just communicated with the public better or if they had just chosen a better time to vault it (they already knew how popular the series was getting during the time they vaulted Tenya so it still confuses me as to why they decided to discontinue him when they could have easily made money)

I still wish I had gotten him before the price rise, but Funko should have treated this character better.

[lrdavis28]

After seeing what the green sour patch is selling for today id go with that one LMAO

its like insane right now

[dtmkyle]

Haha i wonder how many of the people selling it right now were on funkos facebook bashing it too when it was first announced

So what you are saying is that you are all set until SDCC

[hpellot]

parks and rec i watched it recently and then decided i wanted the pops

[Chris23tian]

Recently masked Ochaco. I remember that the funimation booth at sdcc didn’t sell out all 5 days.

[Vises35]

Duck Dodgers GITD (Blue Gamma) - San Diego Comic Con Exclusive (750 pieces). Not a bad-looking Pop and I have to admit, I don't remember this show although I grew up watching Looney Tunes. I'm thinking the price for this Pop is high because of the low production number?

Pretty much. Most numbered pops have high secondary prices.

[pberickp]

Astrid from How to Train Your Dragon 2 saw it today and the price surprised me.

Yeah I remember it was not a hard pop to get and I had multiple opportunities at it but always passed

[hpellot]

Popc scarred Tyrion

[CoachJDDesigns]

Genos and Lord Boros from One Punch. Kept skipping on getting them and they have shot up recently

[MacKazoo]

I’m surprise the original Rocky and Bullwinkle pops rose up, I think the remakes are much better

[Fountaineer]

I was pretty surprised that Renly Baratheon is so expensive. I got him a few years ago and even then it was pricey.

[franzsy0519]

Genos and Lord Boros from One Punch. Kept skipping on getting them and they have shot up recently

Probably just some hype since they were just recently vaulted, and people are riding on the anime hype brought by DBZ and MHA lines.

Same. I even vaguely remember a special on them on Sunday. Now that my daughter has gotten into MHA she reminds me all the time how I passed Masked Ochaco up at SDCC.
