The Funko Pop Vinyl craze has swept the globe and swept it again. A massive part of pop culture in our present day, these figures have found their way into many avid collectors homes. It doesn't matter whether you are a manic toy hoarder or a casual franchise fan, chances are you know about or own at least one Pop Vinyl figures. Ever wondered what the worst Pop Vinyl figurines are out there? Or maybe you want to know if you have a miniature fortune sitting on your shelf? Well don't worry, this list you covered!

I've been searching the net far and wide to uncover fifteen of the worst Pop Vinyl figures and fifteen that are worth a fortune. I had a little bit of help for this list, gathering information for the most expensive Pop Vinyl figures from Collective Pop, gamesradar+, Money Inc and CBR - then finding some entries of my own you won't find on any other list! Then I was given a head start finding the worst Pop Vinyl figures with the help of imgur - followed by some extensive fishing online. Also a massive thanks to the Pop Price Guide, without them this list would not be as potent.

Personally, I have little to no experience with Pop Vinyl collecting. The idea of it has always been appealing to me, but I have never actually gone out of my way to buy any of them. That said, my girlfriend did buy me an awesome Gears of War Locust Drone.

30 Worst: Tommy #225 (2017)

Taking Rugrats and turning them into Pop Vinyl figures is a great idea on paper. However, when it came to implementation, it seems Funko dropped the ball in Tommy Pickles' case. Aesthetically, this Vinyl Pop somewhat resembles Tommy, but it has this generic, run off the mill look to it that, personally, I'm not a fan of. You can purchase this Pop Vinyl for around $6.00, and that is probably the most appealing thing about it. You can also get Tommy in a red shirt for an extra ten dollars - unfortunately, he still looks as horrifying.

29 Fortune: Glow In The Dark Clockwork Orange #04

via amazon.com

This glow in the dark Pop Vinyl is estimated to be a groundbreaking $13,300. Throughout my extensive online search for the most expensive and rare Pop Vinyl figures, this one came in at the top of the search pile.

You can get the normal version of this Pop Vinyl for roughly $2,580.

Not only is this figure incredibly rare, not many people know it even exists. A Clockwork Orange was released in 1972 in the UK and has a small cult following - this might explain why not many people know about this Pop.

28 Worst: Dory #192 (2016)

If Dory looked like this, they probably wouldn't want to find her. Renowned across the net as one of the most ugliest Pop Vinyl figures in the world. Whatever your opinion is on this particular figurine, I think we can all agree it's not the best. After doing a bit of poking around for the Finding Nemo and Finding Dory figures, I discovered that they are all as ugly as sin. You can be the confused owner of this Pop Vinyl for as little as $9.00. A considerably steep price to pay for such an eye-sore.

27 Fortune: Planet Arlia Vegeta #10 (2014)

Via: coleka.com

For a whopping $1,730 you can make this Vegeta Pop Vinyl yours! It was first released as an exclusive to Toy Tokyo then later exclusive to the New York Comic Convention. It is estimated to have over 1,000 owners making it one of the lesser rare Pop Vinyl figures in this list. I love Dragon Ball, but parting with that much money for a plastic figurine is a lot to most people. Only the most eager collectors will want to splash out for this Pop Vinyl. Before starting your Dragon Ball Z collection, make sure you are prepared to spend big on this one.

26 Worst: Sonic #06 (Unknown Release Date)

Via: stylinonline.com & sonic.wikia.com

Oh, Sonic the Hedgehog how far you have fallen. The years may not have been kind to you, but this Funko Pop fail is beyond the pale. The resemblance to Sonic himself is decent, but the eyes are the kicker. What really upsets us gamers, is the estimated price tag of $120.00. Our spikey, bright-blue friend looks closer to a Halloween ornament than a collector's item - it's no surprise that Funko decided to retire this figure. Hopefully, they can churn out a more dignified design for poor old Sonic.

25 Fortune: Freddy Funko Superman #06 (2011)

Via: Collectivepop.com

Definitely not one of the most expensive Freddy Funko Pop Vinyl figures out there, but still worth an astonishing $1,370. It is believed this highly desired figurine only has 55 owners according to the Pop Price Guide. Most of the Freddy Funko Pop Vinyl figures cost a ton and are extremely rare. This one, in particular, was exclusive to the San Diego Comic Convention. This is easily one of my favorite Freddy Funko figures on the market - the capital F on his shirt sells it for me.

24 Worst: Live Action Mrs. Potts & Chip #246 (2017)

www.popinabox.co.uk

Another infamous Pop Vinyl comes from the 2017 live-action version of Beauty and the Beast. This particular Pop has circulated the internet several dozen times for its horrible appearance. Some people also criticise this figure for not being a functioning teapot, personally, I think that is a little too far. What gets me is the design, I think the Pop Vinyl eyes either make or break a figure - this case is the latter for me. The Pop Vinyl sells for a reasonable $7.00  and I don't think many of us would go any higher.

23 Fortune: Blue Suit Mr. Incredible #17  (2011)

Via: www.poppriceguide.com

This incredible entry actually shocked me, this variant of Mr. Incredible seen early in The Incredibles film is estimated to cost around $1,340. It was exclusive to the San Diego Comic Convention and only has a couple of hundred owners - ironically you can get the Red Suit Mr. Incredible for that. Some of the Disney Pop Vinyl figures are crazy amounts and I can promise you that one Disney figure in this list is worth three times as much as this Mr. Incredible figurine so be sure to keep reading.

22 Worst: Flik #227 (2016)

www.mygeekbox.co.uk

Flik was the star of A Bugs Life and a childhood favorite of mine. What Funko Pop Vinyl have done with this figure is a sad display. The shape is there (and the outfit), but that face ... it's one only the queen could love. Again, the eyes don't work for Flik and the smile doesn't suit Flik. Admittedly, the figure is a pretty nice price, coming in at roughly $8.00. This version of Flik looks more at home in a Playhouse Disney show than the actual film.

21 Fortune: Big Boy #04 (2016)

After eighty years on the market, Big Boy Restaurants mascot finally got made into a Pop Vinyl figure. For the cost of over one-hundred diners, you can get those greasy hands on this figurine. The heart-wrenching price of roughly $1,450, it's no surprise that less than 500 people own this Pop Vinyl that was made exclusive to the San Diego Comic Convention. Funko made the obvious decision to sell Advert Mascots as Pop Vinyl figures and by looking at Big Boy, it's clear to see they have a massive audience to feed.

20 Worst: Lord Voldemort #06 (2015)

www.mygeekbox.co.uk

Whatever you think of Lord Voldemort from Harry Potter, you probably can't escape thinking that this Pop Vinyl has a lot of potential, and only a fraction of it is tapped.  This is the only Lord Voldemort Pop Vinyl figurine in existence, no special editions, nothing. The figure is only worth around $6.00 which is surprising because of who Lord Voldemort is. They could have done, or still could do, so much more with this figure. Even the position that the Pop Vinyl itself is in just seems bog standard at best. Such a shame.

19 Fortune: Shadow Trooper #14 (2011)

Star Wars is definitely one of the franchises leading the charge for Pop Vinyl's world domination. We have a few Star Wars entries in this list, and this one is dedicated to a recent addition to the Star Wars Storm Trooper roster: the Shadow Troopers. Getting your hands on one of these figures will set you back a planet-destroying $1,180. This figure was exclusive to San Diego Comic Convention. Although over 2,000 collectors seek this vinyl, roughly only 300 of these figures are owned by the Pop Vinyl community - not exactly an attack of the clones.

18 Worst: Violet Beauregarde #331 (2016)

Fresh from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, this figurine is the brunt of online ridicule for various reasons. The comparison image above says it all. It should be noted that this figure - unlike the other worst entries in this list - was exclusive to the San Diego Comic Convention.  The figure itself is roughly $21.00 and for an extra dollar, you can get the man himself, Willy Wonka. From looking at the figure, I can see why this Vinyl Pop is so unpopular, it's ugly. Also, I get the head has to be the biggest part on a bobblehead, but couldn't you make the exception here one-time, Funko?

17 Fortune: Flocked Chewbacca #06 (2011)

Via: www.popinabox.co.uk

Who would have imagined that this Star Wars Pop Vinyl of Chewbacca would come up to an out of this world estimated price tag of $1,130? The Flocked version means that this Pop Vinyl is furry, rather than just solid plastic, all the more reason to add this Chewbacca to your Star Wars collection. This Chewie was exclusive to the San Diego Comic Convention - surprise, surprise. The best part of over 300 people own this figure and it is considered a highly sought-after prize in the Star Wars Pop Vinyl community.

16 Worst: Butters #01 (2017)

Via: www.dorkly.com & southpark.wikia.com

So come on down to South Park and meet some friends of mine... Oh wait, Funko ruined them, especially Butters. What's going on there? Some of the South Park figures are actually pretty good, the same can't be said for this Butters one though that's worth $10.00. To be fair, I have seen two versions of the same Vinyl Pop appear online, one where Butters actually has a mouth and eyebrows ... and the one above. This has to be confusing for the consumer, what are we actually getting?

15 Fortune: Glow In The Dark Green Lantern #09 (2010)

Via: www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/418975571559802271

Worth a small fortune, this rare figurine of Green Lantern glows in the dark and was exclusive to the San Diego Comic Convention. This highly sought after Pop Vinyl, it is estimated to set you back around $2,190.

You can get the metallic Green Lantern Pop Vinyl for around $530.

Although Green Lantern is one of the less popular DC Universe characters, 818 people wish to call the vinyl their own according to the Pop Price Guide.

14 Worst: Donkey #279 (2016)

Via: www.series-store.fr and shrek.wikia.com

A noble steed? I think not, it's just Donkey from Shrek. This Pop Vinyl is worth around $13.00 and can sell for a bit more sometimes. Remember in earlier entries, I talked about the eyes? Yeah, the same has to be said here, it just ruins some ideas. The figure doesn't quite portray the "dazzling" smile of Donkey neither. Again - like with Flik - it looks like it would be better suited to a children's program. The only version of the figure that exists is this one. Sadly, there is no Flocked version for this failed figurine.

13 Fortune: Holographic Darth Maul #23 (2012)

Via: www.poppriceguide.com

One of the most iconic characters in Star Wars, Darth Maul was the main antagonist in Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace. To be fair to Maul, I can easily see why he is such a popular Pop Vinyl. Be prepared to doll out a lot if you want to add his "holographic" figure to your Star Wars Pop Vinyl collection. It costs around $2,420. This version of Darth Maul was made exclusive to the San Diego Comic Convention. The "holographic" quality may not affect the fact this figure is solid opaque plastic, but it does glow in the dark.

12 Worst: V For Vendetta #10

Via: Popinabox.co.uk

What gets me with this one is —for starters— the shape of the face, it is almost perfect. Why go to all the effort of making it almost perfect. Secondly, why have so many pops been ruined by strange eyes, but this one goes and breaks the rule? Speaking of which, this standard edition Pop Vinyl figure is worth around $60.00 and the prices only escalate from there. The V for Vendetta figure also has a gold metallic version and Freddy Funko variants worth hundreds.

11 Fortune: The Avengers Loki #16 (2012)

Via: www.coleka.com

Who would have thought the Brother of Thor would cost so much!  This Funko rolls in at a back-breaking $1,200. It will cost you several long shifts to purchase this DC Universe Pop Figure. Exclusive to the San Diego Comic Convention, Loki was a popular seller with around 400 proud Pop Vinyl collectors calling Loki their own. This figure is The Avenger edition. Next in line would be the Thor Movie version of Loki, which is estimated to be around $115.00.
