FREDDY AS TONY STARK

Metallic 2012 SDCC ‘12

From 2011 to 2013, Funko released a series of 25 unique and Freddy-fronted Pops that are universally considered to be the most coveted Pops in existence. And though the production run varied for each, all 25 had a special Metallic variant limited to 12 examples each and distributed exclusively through drawings and raffles hosted by Funko. The community adoringly refers to them as the “Freddy 12s.”

Though owning any of the Freddy 12s in Metallic form is like owning a Prizm Gold rookie card of a potential superstar, Freddy Funko as Iron Man — sporting the legendary Bleeding Edge armor — commands the most collector attention. In high grade form, this incredibly scarce Pop will run you about $8,000 for the base version and $45,000 for the Metallic version.

Marvel 40 Wolverine

Flaunting his signature sideburns and classic X-Men suit, Wolverine's unmasked 2013 Toytastik exclusive is arguably the most desirable X-Men Funko Pop! in existence. The conclusion of the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con was punctuated with the immediate reveal of this Pop through Toytastik, with an attainable 1,500 examples created. For collectors who prefer something more scarce, a glow-in-the-dark counterpart is limited to just 500 examples and commands a healthy premium.
