Anime Funko Pops Worth The Money

by Alyssa Ramos Collector and a writer

Despite their diminutive appearances, Funko Pop vinyl figures have been around for over 25 years. With more than 13,500 designs that tackle any pop culture figures, some Funko Pops can sell for much more than fans might expect. 

Funko Pop has been kind when it comes to anime series. Toy collectors who are fond of anime and want some of their favorite characters immortalized in cute chibi forms, their wait is over. Thanks to Funko Pops, anime fans can now have idols to commemorate their favorite characters and scenes. Moreover, owning one of these rare and valuable Pop figures can definitely up a collector’s game in grabbing valuable items.

With the arrival of its live-action adaptation on Netflix, “One Piece” has just revealed its final arc. It makes sense for show fans to feel alarmed and excited to see anime getting new pop figures at a much faster rate. But it seems to have jump-started a run of “The Wanted Poster Luffy” figure selling out almost immediately after it went on sale at this year's New York Comic-Con. However, aside from collecting Luffy and the gang members, other must-have Funko Pop that cost a bit of money and add value to their collection. Get ready to unlock the collector's obsession with the anime series of Funko Pop. 

Armored Titan

If you admire the epic saga of Attack On Titan, you would likely want to grab Funko Pops of the main characters from the Scout Regiment, but the pop figure also released Funkos of Titan enemies from the series. The pick of the bunch from the hit anime is the Armored Titan, which sports the same bulky and horrific appearance. While it’s not as glorious as in the anime, the Armored Titan Funko Pop boasts unique details such as its skull, teeth, ligaments, and muscular structure. Collectors of anime villains would be overjoyed to add this to their collection. Don’t lose the opportunity to own a tangible piece of your favorite series for USD300 online.

Dabi

Many times, villains take center stage and become more popular than the hero, the same is the case with Dabi from My Hero Academia. This Funko Pop iteration of Dabi is a limited edition from the 2019 New York Comic-Con. A limited edition pop figure, it is more stylistic in comparison to other anime counterparts. With a gloomy base, Dabi also boasts a standing appearance with a blue fireball on his hand, his burst of power causing his clothes and coat to fold and flow with the wind integrated into the figure. This Funko Pop usually sells for at least USD300 online.

Sailor Moon

Collectors who adore magical girls would almost immediately want a Sailor Moon Funko Pop to add charm to their collection. And who could be a better choice for their first Sailor Senshi Funko Pop than the lead character herself, Sailor Moon? One of the best iterations of the Sailor Moon Funko Pop comes from the Sailor Moon (With Luna, Glitter) model, which also features her trusty cat, Luna. Perhaps most interesting is this Usagi figure for USD300 can stand on its own even without the plastic standee that comes with it. It also features her iconic Sailor Moon pose after she transforms. 

Mikasa Ackerman

Those new to collecting Attack on Titan might be surprised to learn that the Mikasa Ackerman Funko Pop is far more in demand than the ones for the main protagonist Eren Jaeger. This iteration of the Mikasa Funko Pop is a bit normal in appearance but still sells for high amounts. It features Mikasa standing up with two plug-in blades, indicating her battle-ready pose from both the anime and the manga. Despite her generic pose, her Funko Pop is specific in costume, featuring iconic belts and other paraphernalia of her Survey Corps uniform. Add it to your collection, and grab a piece at USD300 online.

Kurama Mode Kurama

A beast of pure chakra that can take on its enemies at once, the Kurama Mode Kurama Funko Pop is a version of the rather cute Kurama with a stern face and colored full yellow-orange, like in the manga. This pop figure with special black marks makes Naruto’s chakra mode unique, making this quite a delight to own for USD400.

Tony Tony Chopper Flocked

Despite the many characters of One Piece, no one could match the adorable beauty of Tony Tony Chopper. Interestingly, the Tony Tony Chopper Flocked iteration that sells for more takes the appearance of sporting a yellow and white striped shirt, orange pants, and a blue cap. The already cute character is made with Funko Pop signature eyes and sold for at least USD450 online.

Planet Arlia Vegeta

One of the best anime-related Funko Pops is the Planet Arlia Vegeta Funko Pop, an incredibly rare Funko Pop. Of the many Vegeta Funko Pops, this one features Vegeta’s first appearances as a character in the series before his iconic fights against Goku. In this Funko, he sports reddish-orange hair, a purple scouter, and Saiyan armor with a green base and blue interior. This is the first and only time Vegeta wore such a color scheme in the anime, making the Planet Arlia Vegeta Funko Pop a rare figure at a whooping price of USD2,150.

Funko Pop with Anime and Manga: A Flourishing Community

With overwhelming success as an anime series, Funko Pop has a diverse range of available vinyl figures that are must-haves for devoted collectors. Toy collectors who love anime no longer depend on Nendoroids or Play Arts Kai lines to get pop figures of their favorite anime characters.
