Re: Most valuable pop in your collection
gitd NBC Zero Chase. Not "worth" much, but my one and only chase in my meager POP! collection, and I was really hoping to get my hands on him as well

Re: Most valuable pop in your collection
I'd argue my two most valuable finds would be Two-Face (and, to a lesser extent, Zombie Merle).

The reasoning behind this is that I found Two-Face around three years ago, back when he was still impossible to find but hadn't yet been rereleased by Popcultcha. He was discovered in a tiny little hole-in-the-wall toy shop on Mackinac Island, and had I known how valuable/rare he was at the time, I would've a.) grabbed more, and b.) kept them all in their boxes. Alas, I was but a newbie collector at the time, and being able to own one of my favorite villains in Pop form greatly outweighed its secondhand value.
Zombie Merle I believe I stumbled upon at Hot Topic back when he was first released. I remember also buying a Zombie Jake with him, but sold Jake for a fraction of what he could've been sold for today.
As you can see, I was once very bad at this.

Re: Most valuable pop in your collection
Wait are we talking about value based on current estimated worth in the secondary market or which one we deem as most valuable in our collection based on current emotional attachment.?
Because if its the latter than for me that is my Rocky Balboa ... #1 always forever, near and far

Re: Most valuable pop in your collection
I've only been collecting for about a year or two, so I don't have many that are really "valuable". I guess my most valuable one is probably my DCC exclusive Reverse Flash. Got him for free in Secret Santa exchange on another forum.

ooh...ned is a good one. He was the pop that got me more heavily into collecting. Bought him from Gemini because I was kinda surprised they made a pop who was designed to have the head come off.

Metallic Deadpool is definitely my most valued AND valuable pop...
I have no idea how much they're selling for now but I paid $80 and it stung... worth it though.

Thanks!

I'm jealous that you've even had the proto pass through your hands, I've tried to find pictures in the past with no luck... and I consider the Fredpools to be a total dream at this point. Way out of my price range >.<

I foolishly waited on the b and W, the orange, and the sdcc Deadpool when I started collecting about a year ago. At the time I think I could have picked them up for a combined 80 bucks plus shipping from Amazon, matts cavalcade and convention exclusives. Still kicking my own butt. Have the rest though. The do make a great collection, congratulations.

I do love my Freddy POPs, but I guess my most valuable POP might be my 36" Retro Freddy. I think he's 1 of 10 pieces. RetroFreddy comes in second place for my largest Funko. My Market Freddy stands 40" tall.

I'm the newbie so modestly and humbly I submit mine's the Star Wars Celebration Exclusive R2-R9. It's more limited than the other ones since it was NOT at the Funko main booth but at the smaller independent Toy Tokyo booth. They handed out tickets ... like maybe 50 a day ... so at the moment pretty limited. Plus, as a HUGE Star Wars fan, it's extra valuable to me!
