Funko Pops
Figures from the Funko Pop line are adorable and can be found in just about any character or person imaginable, so it’s no surprise that they’re incredibly popular. However, these tiny 3.75-inch plastic figurines are worth significantly more than you might expect. The value of these toys can vary depending on their rarity, the character itself, and whether or not the figure was released as part of a limited edition collection. To give you an example, the holographic Darth Maul Funko Pop was available only at the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con and was limited to 480 pieces, making it worth an estimated $3,020. However, that isn’t even close to the most valuable — the glow-in-the-dark Alex DeLarge Clockwork Orange Funko is worth a whopping $13,000 and is the most valuable of the bunch.
Jem and the Holograms Dolls: $675
After all, Jem and her friends were edgy and gorgeous stars who understood how to rock in the 1980s, so it was no surprise that girls were infatuated with the TOTALLY outlandish Jem and the Holograms. Despite Barbie’s unassailable hold on the fashion doll market, Jem and the Holograms managed to establish themselves as one of the most popular toys available on store shelves today. In addition, the television show was the most popular cartoon in the United States. With the resurgence of the ’80s in fashion, Jem has also enjoyed a resurgence in popularity. A live-action Jem and the Holograms movie was released in theaters a few years ago. This, combined with a healthy dose of good ol’ nostalgia, has assisted in propelling old Jem toys into the highly desirable territory. After all these years, if you’ve managed to hold on to your dolls, you could be looking at several hundreds of dollars in value! Dolls are presently selling for anything between $200 and $700 on eBay.
