Clockwork Orange fans, rejoice... or weep, because this figure is as elusive as it gets. The Glow-in-the-Dark Chase version of Alex DeLarge came out in 2012 and was limited to only 12 pieces. That’s right, a dozen! This one is for the truly hardcore collectors—or those who have a bit of the old ultra-luck.

3. Golden Ticket 2-Pack (Freddy Funko)

An homage to the classic “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," the Golden Ticket 2-Pack features Freddy Funko as the iconic Charlie Bucket. Released during the 2016 San Diego Comic-Con, it includes a nifty golden ticket and a boatload of nostalgia. But don’t let it slip through your fingers—it’s limited to just 400 pieces worldwide!

4. Dumbo (Clown Paint and Gold)

Dumbo can fly, and these rare figures take the elephant to new heights! The Clown Paint Dumbo was limited to 48 pieces, whereas the Opalescent Gold version spread its shiny charm to 252 pieces. If you've got a soft spot for this big-eared wonder, these variants are your ticket to a centre-ring highlight in any collection.

5. Jaime Lannister (Bloody) Freddy Funko

Game of Thrones may have ended, but the quest for the Iron Throne of Funko collecting is far from over. Freddy Funko as Bloody Jaime Lannister was an exclusive during the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con, released with only 12 pieces in the wild. It's a rare catch fit for a king—or at least a sworn collector.

6. Dumbo (Metallic Blue)

Another Dumbo entry, because why not? The Metallic Blue Dumbo is a tear-jerker in collectible form. With only 48 pieces gracing this earth, it's as rare as they come. If you’re a Disney enthusiast, this is one of those must-have treasures that can fly you away to magical lands of collecting prestige.

7. Freddy Funko as Frankenstein

It’s alive! Well, not really, but Freddy Funko dressed up as Frankenstein will definitely bring your collection to life. Released in 2011 with just 24 pieces, this figure is a monstrous feat of rarity. If you're assembling a Halloween-themed lineup, this Freddy is your go-to ghoul.

8. Buzz Lightyear Freddy Funko (Glow-in-the-Dark)

To infinity and... well, you know the rest. Buzz Lightyear has always been a beloved figure, but when he’s reimagined as Freddy Funko and made glow-in-the-dark, the appeal is out of this world! Limited to just 12 pieces, owning one is akin to finding a star in the Funko universe.

9. Freddy Funko as Venom

Freddy Funko cosplaying as anti-hero Venom? Yes, please! This figure brings the best of both worlds: Funko’s lovable mascot and Marvel’s toothy, tetchy character. Only 24 pieces were made, making it a truly symbiotically awesome find for any Marvel aficionado.

10. Planet Arlia Vegeta

Dragon Ball Z fans, this one’s for you. Planet Arlia Vegeta is one of the grails among Funko collectors. Sporting his iconic armour and a snappy brown and green colour scheme, he’s as unique as a Saiyan prince can get. Released as a New York Comic-Con exclusive in 2014 with an unknown but very low piece count, it’s a total powerhouse of rarity.

There you have it! Did these rare Funko POP! figures make your heart skip a beat? Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just starting, these figures are what dreams (and a fair few sleepless nights on auction sites) are made of. Happy hunting, and may the vinyl odds be ever in your favour!
