Funko Pop! has been creating miniature vinyl figures for lovers of anything from Elvis to Game of Thrones for almost two decades. They aren’t prohibitively costly to purchase, but the values of several of them have soared since their release. Due to scarcity or other factors, they are the most expensive items in fandom.
