Holy Grails

[Holku0527]

SDCC 2016 Princess Leia unmasked holding a thermite grenade. She was supposed to come to Denver Comic Con the year after, and I was going to have her autograph it, but she cancelled because of filming conflicts.

I gotta ask...is it really a grail if the only thing that prevents you from getting said item is saving $$? Is it really a grail if you have the money and you just refuse to pay its current market price?

Because my definition of a "holy grail" is something that involves a long journey. Something that may take some work to track down who even has the item, and among them who is even willing to sell or perhaps they set you off on a quest to get them an item for trade to get said item. etc.

I don't think so. While I have no grails, anything on my want list is something that I just haven't come across yet at a price I'm willing to pay. There are some that I've seen, but no piece of plastic is worth that much, period. There are some that are decently priced, I just haven't seen them yet. Lots of them I could just go get, I'm sure they aren't that hard to hunt for online, but where is the fun in that? I'd rather stumble across it than turn collecting into a credit card exercise.

My ultimate grail would probably be SDCC Biggie Smalls. I most likely will never obtain it so i setteled for the regular one haha

[Funko5ker]

1/12 Glow Freddy Chocula.
My first pop Grail the moment I saw him and still at the top of my list. Took me a few years to find one but finally did!

One pop I would love to own is NYCC Qui Gon. Not sure if I'd call it a great but definitely out of my price range atm.

[Force951]

Really want a Freddy Funko as Golden Bender. But its 1/24 and hard to find.

[Kingwolfdaddy]

Mr. Toad

[Funko_Fanatic]

My ultimate grail would be SDCC Metallic Captain America

[felixfelicis]

SDCC Loki

[MarkyMark]

NYCC Qui Gon, Holo Darth Maul, list goes on for me.

[Blazingorchidlv]

Holographic Darth Maul... I have all the other holographic SW pops... except for him... probably not one I’ll ever get... but dang that would be a dream come true

[Hauckbuster007]

My Ultimate Grail would be to own the 10'' Gladiator Hulk with Helmet Proto or the 6'' Grey Hulk with Dr. Banner Proto.

My Ultimate Grail would be to own the 10'' Gladiator Hulk with Helmet Proto or the 6'' Grey Hulk with Dr. Banner Proto or the MCC Hulkbuster Proto.

[cheekylyssa]

I was fortunate to win mine recently in a waffle (Unmasked Leia Boussh). My new number one would be She-Ra, then Green Phoenix.

[Ace+ 76]

I would have to say that my first grail is the Metallic Captain America. Second would be Bob's Fett Droids

[Vassago73]

All 4 of the Rocky movies pops. I jumped in on the pop craze way after these were too expensive to attain on secondhand market.

[Libertyroxx]

Probably Freddy Boba Fett or any of the super rare Con exclusive Star Wars Pops from 2011-2012.

[sourapplez]

Current ISO grail is the Gold Freddy Bender. Have everything else but him. =(

[ImranC23]

my grail is 2011 SDCC spider-man. Hoping I can grab him this year, should've with our fundays haul from last year but we knocked out a lot of our older items that we wanted.

other than that, droids boba would be my other only grail that I don't hace.

[beckysaurus]

Flocked Sulley

Here here!! #regrets

Awesome!! Congratulations. What a great feeling! Good luck on your next.


We used to have a thread where people would list their grails so that the forum members could try to help each other out. A few years ago a lot of board members found items they had been searching for for a long time! Grails are worth a bit more money now so they are harder to move around but I"m sure there's a few we can satisfy here.

[repair-manmanmanman]

I've been waiting a while to find an og chase green lantern without too much damage. I've got some ebay gift cards burning a hole in my pocket, so hopefully I can find one soon.

This is a good point. There's several I've been after a long time but the $$ definitely stops me. It's not that it's hard to find, even the 2011 and 2012 pieces are attainable every few weeks/months, you just have to be willing to shell out. But to some people who have less income maybe the $$ is the "journey." it's working hard for a long time to scrimp and save to achieve that Grail. Just two sides of the same argument right?
Me? I'm just stubborn If I decided to not get my afternoon tea every work day THIS YEAR then I could buy my flocked Sulley this year

[AutumnsToyz]

Definitely need Holo Darth Maul and Flocked Chewie. There are times, like bonus pay check months where I am willing to shell out some money for the more expensive Pops, but in order to obtain these would require some serious budgeting.

On a positive note, in the last couple of months I have been able to procure Unmasked Boushh Leia and Freddie Poe.

[Chaister87]

One of my favorite pops that I consider a grail is Holo Darth Maul!!!

[KandJ]

Pink trunks CM Punk. I had it before and now want it back.

[mrclawking]

bugs bunny space jam proto or ren and stimpy proto

[chinesefoodguy]

What are your top holy grail Pops that are expensive or just really hard to find?

Really hard to find and unfortunately hard to find pops are also pretty pricey. My Grails are Conan pops

[WildberryPOPtarts33]

B&W Wonder Woman

Love!

[WildberryPOPtarts33]

Hmmm... I don't know if I have any holy grails that I'm constantly dreaming of getting. I mean there are things that I'd like to have, but nothing that has me spiraling into a frenzy. I guess the closest thing, but also something I'd never spend the money to get, is the Two-pack Sorcerer Mickey and Chernabog

[kappait]

Probably Freddy Boba Fett or any of the super rare Con exclusive Star Wars Pops from 2011-2012.

Have to agree with these. Would love to have them.

[Whovian916]

Blue Cheshire
And the frankenberry and count chocolate Freddie’s.
Just don’t see myself dropping that amount of cash on them.

[AutumnsToyz]

Oh no. While not on the same level, before I started collecting last year, I had 2 Metallic Beerus that I traded away for some Star Wars figures

[jkcohen626]

I don’t have anything super nice, so here are my favs that I have and ones that I want!

Have: OG Batgirl (I know she’s come down in price a TON, but I still loved her), Hobgoblin and my Yondu autographed by Michael Rooker.

Want: SDCC Batgirl, Chase Batgirl, Freddy Flux

[Kwik_One]

Original Alex DeLarge GITD, 24 made.

[ChewyVee]

"Disco" Skeletor


Penguin and Riddler Chase Variants

I remember seeing Disco Skeletor for sale on the fugitive toys website along w/ SDCC Sharknado & other pieces. I chose sharknado instead of this one. Man, do I wish I would've purchased it instead of thinking the price would drop

[funkopants777]

hmm mine would be my flocked lotso...was not easy to acquire him
but he holds a place very dear to my heart

someday id like to add metallic biggie or flocked sulley to the gang
