Pop culture movie collectibles cover a huge range of price points and purposes, from $12 display figures to $40+ deluxe pieces, and the right choice depends on whether you’re collecting for nostalgia, horror fandom, or shelf presence. My top pick overall is the Funko POP! Rides Deluxe: Back to the Future – Doc with Time Machine, because it combines a beloved character with an actual vehicle, giving it display presence that standard figures can’t match. For pure value, the Funko POP! Movies: Halloween – Michael Myers delivers iconic horror recognition at a standard price, while the Jaws 6-inch Great White Shark stands out as a super-sized figure that rarely costs much more than a regular Pop. The main tradeoff in this category is between size and price versus rarity and chase potential, since figures like the Jigsaw Killer with its 1-in-6 chase variant appeal to collectors but add gamble to the purchase. Read on for the full breakdown, including which figures earn their shelf space and which are better suited to completists.
Key Takeaways
- Vehicle-based figures dominated the comparison: the Doc with Time Machine Deluxe and the standalone DeLorean both offer more visual weight than any standard character Pop, justifying their higher prices.
- Horror figures (Michael Myers, Ghostface, Pennywise, Jason, Chucky) are the most affordable entry points, but their value depends heavily on which villain matches your fandom, not on quality differences between them.
- The Jigsaw Killer’s chase variant is the only figure here with real rarity potential, making it the pick for speculative collectors rather than casual fans.
- Back to the Future is heavily represented with four separate figures, creating overlap that means most buyers should choose one rather than mix them.
- Super-sized figures like the 6-inch Jaws shark and the 70th Anniversary Godzilla deliver the best display-per-dollar ratio for collectors with limited shelf space.

More Details on Our Top Picks
Funko POP! Movies: Halloween – Michael Myers (New Pose)
Michael Myers lands at the top of this lineup because he balances instant recognizability, affordability, and display versatility better than anything else here. The pale mask and jumpsuit translate remarkably well into the Funko style, and unlike the Jaws Great White Shark, a humanoid character reads clearly from across a room. The new pose also gives collectors who already own the original sculpt a reason to double-dip without feeling cheated. Compared with Jason Voorhees or Ghostface, Myers is the slasher anchor most horror shelves are built around, which makes him the safest starting purchase. The tradeoff is a static figure with no articulation, and Funko’s listed height wobbles between 3.75 and 4.25 inches — worth checking before you plan a tight shelf arrangement.
Pros:- Instantly recognizable sculpt of the genre’s most iconic slasher
- Durable vinyl holds up to handling and shelf dusting
- New pose differentiates it from the original release
- Budget-friendly entry point for new collectors
Cons:- No articulation — purely a display piece
- Inconsistent listed height (3.75 vs 4.25 inches) makes shelf planning awkward
- Small footprint limits visual impact in large displays
Best for: Horror collectors building a slasher shelf who want an iconic anchor piece at a low price
Not ideal for: Buyers wanting display impact at a distance — at under 4.5 inches it disappears in a large cabinet
- Character:Michael Myers
- Theme:Halloween
- Material:Vinyl
- Height:Approx. 3.75–4.25 inches
- Item Dimensions:2.5 x 2.5 x 3.75 inches
- Item Weight:2.24 ounces
- Package Quantity:1
Our verdict“If you’re buying just one figure from this roundup, Michael Myers is the strongest combination of icon status, price, and shelf presence.”
Funko POP! Movies: Jaws – 6″ Great White Shark
What the shark lacks in character personality it gains in silhouette drama — an open-jawed Great White is one of the few Funko sculpts that works as a standalone centerpiece rather than a lineup member. Compared with Michael Myers, it costs less while delivering more visual drama per inch, since the sculpted shark body fills more shelf space than a standard standing figure. It also sidesteps the franchise-narrowness problem of the Saw Jigsaw figure: even casual movie fans who’ve never collected a Pop know Jaws. The compromises are real, though. It’s a single-character piece with no accessorizing potential, and at 3.75 inches it’s smaller than the “6-inch” title suggests, so read the specs carefully before buying.
Pros:- Striking open-jaw sculpt that works as a standalone display piece
- Broad pop culture appeal beyond hardcore collectors
- Durable vinyl suited to desk or shelf display
- Lower price point than deluxe figures like the Doc with Time Machine
Cons:- Single-character set with no companion figures available
- Smaller in hand than the listing title implies
Best for: Casual fans and gift-givers who want one recognizable movie icon without committing to a collection
Not ideal for: Completeness-obsessed collectors — there’s no Brody or Quint to pair it with, so it stays a lone display piece
- Character:Great White Shark
- Theme:Jaws
- Material:Vinyl
- Height:3.75 inches
- Brand:Funko
- Package Quantity:1
Our verdict“A smart low-cost pick for anyone who wants one fun, universally recognizable movie collectible rather than the start of a shelf.”
Funko Pop! Movies: Karate Kid – Mr. Miyagi with Bonsai Tree
Of everything in this roundup, Mr. Miyagi with Bonsai Tree is the one I’d hand to someone who doesn’t own a single Funko figure. The included bonsai accessory gives it warmth and storytelling that figures like Ghostface or Chucky can’t match, and its cross-generational appeal — Karate Kid fans span parents and kids thanks to Cobra Kai — makes it the safest gift on the list. Compared with the Jaws shark, it leans sentimental rather than dramatic, so it suits an office desk or living room shelf rather than a horror display. The tradeoff: pricing runs higher than standard Pops because the character skews niche, and if the recipient isn’t a Karate Kid fan, the accessory detail won’t carry the same weight.
Pros:- Bonsai tree accessory adds narrative detail most single figures lack
- Cross-generational appeal through Cobra Ki’s resurgence
- Ideal desk-friendly size at 4.4 inches
- Warm, giftable tone suited to birthdays and graduations
Cons:- Priced above standard Pop figures for a niche-franchise character
- Display-only with no articulation
- Too small for collectors seeking statement pieces
Best for: Gift buyers shopping for Karate Kid or Cobra Kai fans who want something heartfelt rather than scary
Not ideal for: Horror or sci-fi collectors — Miyagi won’t fit visually alongside a Myers, Jason, or Jigsaw lineup
- Character:Mr. Miyagi
- Theme:Movies
- Material:Vinyl
- Height:4.4 inches
- Width:3.5 inches
- Depth:6.5 inches
- Occasions:Birthday, Christmas, Graduation, Halloween, Housewarming
- Package Quantity:1
Our verdict“The best gift in the lineup — warm, recognizable, and detailed — but only if the recipient actually loves The Karate Kid.”
Funko POP! Saw 10th Anniversary – Jigsaw Killer (1 in 6 Chase Chance)
This figure’s hook isn’t the sculpt — it’s the 1-in-6 chase variant chance baked into every box, which turns an ordinary purchase into a lottery ticket. For collectors, that gamble is the whole point: a chase pull can be worth multiples of the standard figure. Compared with Michael Myers, which delivers exactly what the box shows every time, Jigsaw trades certainty for upside, and that framing decides everything about who should buy it. The 10th Anniversary packaging also gives it display value beyond the figure itself, unlike the window-box standard releases like Jason Voorhees. But the randomness cuts both ways — most buyers get the common version, and the small 3.75-inch figure is easy to lose track of on a crowded shelf. Franchise appeal is narrow, too; outside Saw fandom, the tricycle-riding puppet reads as obscure.
Pros:- 1-in-6 chase chance adds genuine collector excitement and resale upside
- Anniversary edition packaging enhances display value
- Faithful, detailed sculpt of the Jigsaw Killer puppet
- Compact size fits crowded horror shelves easily
Cons:- Chase variant is never guaranteed — expect the common version
- Appeal limited outside the Saw fanbase
- Small figure is easy to misplace or overlook
Best for: Seasoned Funko hunters who enjoy chase-variant odds and want a potential value multiplier
Not ideal for: Buyers who want a guaranteed specific look — the chase is random, and most boxes contain the standard figure
- Character:Jigsaw Killer
- Collection:Saw 10th Anniversary
- Material:Vinyl
- Chase Odds:1 in 6
- Item Dimensions:4.5 x 3.5 x 6.5 inches
- Item Weight:140 g
- Color:Multicolour
- Package Quantity:1
Our verdict“A fun calculated risk for Saw fans and chase hunters, but anyone wanting a sure thing should grab Michael Myers instead.”
Funko POP! Rides Deluxe: Back to the Future – Doc with Time Machine
At roughly 5.2 inches and built around the full DeLorean, this Deluxe Rides figure is the closest thing in this roundup to a centerpiece. Where Michael Myers or the Jaws shark are single figures that blend into a row, Doc with the Time Machine commands its own shelf space, and it makes the standalone DeLorean Time Machine Pop and even the Marty McFly figure feel incomplete by comparison — you get character and vehicle in one purchase. The 40th anniversary framing also makes it the pick for milestone gifts. The premium shows in the price: it costs meaningfully more than every standard figure here, and like all Pops it’s a statue, not a toy — no doors, no articulation, no play value. If you’re buying for a kid who wants to reenact scenes, this is the wrong choice.
Pros:- Combines figure and iconic vehicle in one detailed set
- Largest footprint in this lineup for genuine display impact
- 40th anniversary edition adds collectible significance
- Durable vinyl construction suited to long-term display
Cons:- Highest price point among the figures reviewed here
- No articulation or interactive features like opening doors
- Overshadows standard single figures if shelf space is tight
Best for: Back to the Future superfans and display-focused collectors willing to pay premium for a character-plus-vehicle combo
Not ideal for: Parents buying for children — it’s a fragile, static display piece with no play features at a premium price
- Character:Dr. Emmett Brown with Time Machine
- Figure Type:Pop! Rides Deluxe
- Brand:Funko
- Height:Approx. 5.2 inches
- Edition:40th Anniversary
- Material:Vinyl
- Model Number:86449
- Age Range:Adult, Child
Our verdict“The definitive Back to the Future collectible in this batch — worth the premium for display collectors, overkill for casual buyers.”
Funko POP! Movies: Godzilla 70th – Godzilla (1999)
Among the standard 3.75-inch figures in this lineup, this Godzilla 70th Anniversary Pop stands a step above at roughly 4.35 inches, and that extra height plus the character’s silhouette gives it real presence on a shelf. Compared with the Ferris Bueller figure, which reads best as part of a larger Funko row, this one works as a solo centerpiece — the kaiju shape is instantly recognizable even from across a room. The anniversary framing also gives it collectible weight beyond a standard release. The tradeoff: it lacks the oversized scale of the Jaws 6-inch Great White, so buyers chasing maximum impact may want that instead. Also note the no warranty, and height can vary slightly from the listed spec.
Pros:- Taller than standard Pops at approximately 4.35 inches
- Durable vinyl suited to long-term display
- 70th anniversary framing adds collectible value
- Instantly recognizable silhouette works as a standalone centerpiece
Cons:- Smaller than oversized alternatives like the Jaws 6-inch shark
- No manufacturer warranty included
- Figure height may vary slightly from the listed dimensions
Best for: Godzilla and kaiju fans who want a single figure with shelf presence and anniversary appeal
Not ideal for: Collectors wanting a large-scale display piece — the Jaws 6-inch shark delivers more visual impact
- Brand:Funko
- Character:Godzilla (1999)
- Series:Pop! Movies — Godzilla 70th
- Figure Type:Miniature vinyl figure
- Approximate Height:4.35 inches
- Material:Vinyl
- Model Number:80879
- Warranty:No warranty
Our verdict“This is the pick for fans who want one figure that anchors a movie-collectibles shelf without stepping up to deluxe pricing.”
Funko Pop! Movies: Back to the Future – Marty McFly
If you’re building a Back to the Future shelf, this Marty McFly Pop is the natural first brick — and that’s exactly why it earns this spot rather than a ‘best display’ one. The lineup’s other BTTF entries, like the Doc with Time Machine Pop! Rides Deluxe and the DeLorean Time Machine, cost considerably more, so starting with Marty keeps the entry price low while establishing the theme. At 3.75 inches, it’s the standard Funko footprint, which means it scales cleanly beside future additions. The catch is the flip side of that affordability: on its own it’s visually modest, without a vehicle, prop, or pose to catch the eye the way the Godzilla anniversary figure does. Treat it as a foundation piece, not a finale.
Pros:- Affordable entry point into a Back to the Future collection
- Standard 3.75-inch scale pairs neatly with other BTTF Pops
- Durable vinyl construction
- Instantly recognizable character design
Cons:- Modest visual impact as a standalone display piece
- Narrow appeal outside franchise fans and Funko collectors
Best for: Back to the Future fans beginning a themed collection on a budget
Not ideal for: Buyers who want one impressive standalone BTTF piece — the Doc with Time Machine deluxe delivers that instead
- Character:Marty McFly
- Series:Pop! Movies — Back to the Future
- Approximate Height:3.75 inches
- Material:Vinyl
- Included:1 x figure
Our verdict“Buy this as the cornerstone of a growing BTTF display, not as a one-and-done showpiece.”
Funko Pop! Movies: Pennywise (1990) – IT Collectible Vinyl Figure
The horror corner of this roundup is crowded — Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, Ghostface, Chucky — but this Pennywise (1990) figure earns the horror slot for one reason: the 1990 miniseries design is the most distinctive of the bunch. Where slasher figures in this lineup all follow a similar masked-or-disfigured template, Tim Curry’s Pennywise brings color and theatrical detail that reads differently on a shelf next to figures like Jason Voorhees. The added size (roughly 4.5 inches) also nudges it above the standard 3.75-inch entries here. The tradeoff is zero articulation — it’s a static display piece, pure and simple — and the sculpt’s detail works best in a case or desk spot rather than loose on a large shelf where it can feel small.
Pros:- 1990 miniseries design stands apart from standard slasher figures
- Slightly larger than standard Pops at approximately 4.5 inches
- Colorful, detailed sculpt works well in display cases
- Durable vinyl suited to long-term display
Cons:- No articulation or poseability
- Can feel small in larger open display setups
Best for: Horror collectors who want the most visually distinctive villain figure in the lineup
Not ideal for: Buyers who want poseability or interactive play value — this is a static display figure only
- Character:Pennywise (1990)
- Series:Pop! Movies — IT
- Approximate Height:4.5 inches
- Material:Vinyl
- Color:Multicolor
- Item Weight:160 g
- Package Quantity:1
Our verdict“The strongest horror choice here for collectors who value a distinctive sculpt over interchangeable masked villains.”
Funko POP! Movies: E.T. – Elliott with E.T. in Bike Basket
Most Pops in this roundup capture a character; this one captures a moment. Elliott pedaling with E.T. in the bike basket is the single most iconic image from the film, and the two-figure composition gives this piece a narrative quality that single-character entries like the Ferris Bueller figure simply can’t match. It’s the difference between displaying a face and displaying a memory, which matters if your collection is built around emotional beats rather than franchise logos. At 3.75 inches, it’s compact enough for a desk or small case, and the vinyl feels solid for the price. The honest drawback: it’s a display-only piece with no interactivity, and at this scale the bicycle detail is fine but small — anyone wanting a bigger rendition will need to look at deluxe alternatives elsewhere.
Pros:- Two-figure composition captures the film’s most iconic scene
- Compactly sized at 3.75 inches for desks and small cases
- Durable, high-quality vinyl
- Strong gift appeal for E.T. fans of any age
Cons:- Display-only with no interactive or poseable elements
- Small scale limits the sculpt’s finer details
Best for: Spielberg fans and collectors who want a figure that tells a story rather than just depicting a character
Not ideal for: Buyers expecting a large or detailed centerpiece — the small scale limits the bike’s visual detail
- Character:Elliott with E.T. in Bike Basket
- Series:Pop! Movies — E.T.
- Approximate Height:3.75 inches
- Material:Vinyl
- Included:1 x figurine
Our verdict“The most emotionally resonant pick in this lineup — ideal when you want a scene, not just a face.”
Funko POP! Movies: Ferris Bueller’s Day Off – Ferris
This Ferris Bueller Pop earns its role as the lineup’s best gift pick because the film has an unusually broad, cross-generational fanbase — unlike the Pennywise or Chucky figures, you can hand this to almost anyone born between 1965 and 1995 and get a smile. It’s also a low-risk gift financially: standard 3.75-inch scale, durable vinyl, and a character design that needs no explanation. Where it falls short of picks like the Godzilla 70th figure is display strength — a single character in a neutral pose doesn’t command a shelf, so it works best grouped with other Pops. And a practical warning: at this size it’s easy to misplace in a cluttered space. As a stocking stuffer or desk accent, though, it’s hard to beat.
Pros:- Broad cross-generational appeal makes it a safe gift
- Durable vinyl at a budget-friendly standard scale
- Sized well for desks, shelves, and gift wrapping
- Complements other Funko Pop! figures
Cons:- Limited appeal outside fans of the film
- Small size makes it easy to misplace in busy spaces
Best for: Gift-givers shopping for fans of 80s comedy who want a safe, affordable, broadly appealing present
Not ideal for: Collectors prioritizing display impact — a single standard-scale figure won’t anchor a shelf
- Character:Ferris Bueller
- Series:Pop! Movies — Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
- Approximate Height:3.75 inches
- Material:Vinyl
- Included:1 x figurine
Our verdict“The safest gift in this batch — low cost, broad recognition, and easy to give without knowing the recipient’s collection.”
October 2015 Time Travel Exclusive Funko Pop #236 Back To The Future Dr. Emmet Brown Figurine
Exclusivity is the whole story here. This Loot Crate-only release of Doc Brown mid-lightning-strike was never sold at general retail, which gives it a scarcity profile the standard Marty McFly Pop in this roundup simply can’t match. Compared with that widely available Marty figure, this one stands out as the rarer centerpiece for a Back to the Future shelf, depicting the exact moment the time experiment comes alive. The tradeoff is real, though: no articulation, no accessories, and a single-piece design mean it lives or dies on display presence alone. Buyers chasing the Marty figure should know this pick makes more sense for collectors who already own the basics and want the hard-to-get variant rather than a starting point.
Pros:- Loot Crate exclusive status adds long-term collector value
- Captures the iconic electricity scene in sculpted detail
- Compact footprint fits crowded display shelves easily
- Strong centerpiece for a BTTF-themed collection
Cons:- Secondary-market pricing can run well above standard Pops
- No articulation or accessories — display only
- Single-piece figure with no display base included
Best for: Back to the Future collectors chasing a rare convention-style exclusive to anchor their display
Not ideal for: Casual buyers or kids — the exclusivity premium is wasted on anyone not invested in the franchise
- Style:Modern
- Theme:Back to the Future
- Character:Dr. Emmett Brown
- Color:Multicolor
- Dimensions:6.3″L x 4.53″W x 3.54″H
- Weight:4.48 ounces
- Number of Pieces:1
- Edition:Loot Crate Exclusive (October 2015)
Our verdict“A must for BTTF completists who want the scarce variant, but overkill for someone just starting a Funko shelf.”
Funko POP Movie Back to The Future – DeLorean Time Machine
Vehicles are where Funko displays get interesting, and this DeLorean with included Marty McFly figure delivers a scene rather than a lone character. Compared with the individual Doc Brown exclusive or the Marty McFly Pop, this option reads as a miniature diorama — car plus driver — which gives it far more visual impact on a shelf despite the modest footprint. It also costs less than the deluxe Rides version of the time machine elsewhere in this roundup, making it the sensible middle ground between a basic figure and a full premium set. The compromises: it is strictly a display piece, the doors don’t open in any functional play sense, and at this size the silver paint detail is more suggestive than precise. Compared with figure-only Pops, though, it punches above its price.
Pros:- Includes both the DeLorean and a Marty McFly figure for scene-style display
- More shelf presence than a standard figure-only Pop
- Cheaper route to a vehicle display than deluxe Rides editions
- Instantly recognizable even to casual movie fans
Cons:- Not designed for active play — display and collection only
- Smaller scale limits detail on the car’s bodywork
- No additional accessories like flux-coil effects or extra figures
Best for: Movie collectors who want a self-contained scene that anchors a shelf without paying deluxe prices
Not ideal for: Parents buying a toy — the wheels and figure are for posing, not play
- Dimensions:9.5″L x 7″W x 6.25″H
- Weight:0.07 kg
- Color:Silver
- Style:Modern
- Theme:Movies
- Included Figure:Marty McFly (3.75-inch Pop!)
- Number of Pieces:1
- Recommended Uses:Collecting, Decorative Display, Gift-Giving
Our verdict“The best value way to get a Back to the Future centerpiece without stepping up to the deluxe Rides price point.”
Funko POP! Movies: Ghostface
Ghostface is the cheapest way into horror-collecting in this lineup, and that accessibility is its defining strength. Where the Chucky figure skews toward fans of a specific franchise entry, Ghostface’s mask is universally recognizable — the design has barely changed across four-plus Scream films, so it never feels dated. Compared with the Jason Voorhees Pop, this is a more recent release with cleaner, consistent production quality, and at 3.75 inches it slips into any desk or shelf arrangement without dominating it. The flip side of that simplicity: there is nothing here beyond the figure itself — no variant, no chase, no accessories — and the all-white design shows shelf dust quickly. As a gift or a gateway into horror Pops, this pick makes the most sense for buyers prioritizing price and recognizability over rarity.
Pros:- One of the most recognizable horror designs in pop culture
- Low price point makes it an easy gift or starter figure
- Compact 3.75-inch size fits desks and small shelves
- Durable vinyl holds up well on long-term display
Cons:- Mass-produced release with no collectible scarcity
- White sculpt shows dust and discoloration over time
- No accessories or variant details beyond the standard figure
Best for: First-time horror collectors or gift-buyers who want an instantly recognizable figure at a low price
Not ideal for: Chase-hunting collectors — this is a common release with no rarity angle
- Height:3.75 inches
- Material:Vinyl
- Character:Ghostface
- Franchise:Scream
- Series:Pop! Movies
- Type:Collectible Vinyl Figure
- Recommended Use:Display, Collecting, Gifting
Our verdict“A low-risk, high-recognition pick for horror newcomers — skip it if you only chase rare variants.”
Funko POP! Movies: Bride of Chucky – Chucky
Chucky occupies a different lane than the slashers around him — the Bride of Chucky version leans into the character’s comedic, stitched-and-scarred era rather than pure menace. That makes this figure a tonal counterweight to the Jason Voorhees and Ghostface Pops in this roundup, and the scarred face sculpt carries more detail per square inch than either of those cleaner designs. Compared with Ghostface specifically, this release suits collectors who curate by franchise depth rather than pure recognizability — Child’s Play fans will read the Bride-era scarring instantly, while casual viewers may not. At roughly 4 inches it sits comfortably alongside standard Pops. The drawbacks are familiar: display-only construction, no Tiffany companion figure, and a niche that narrows its gift appeal to established horror fans.
Pros:- Scarred Bride-of-Chucky sculpt is more detailed than standard horror Pops
- Durable high-quality vinyl built for long-term display
- 4-inch size pairs neatly with other standard Pop figures
- Fills a specific gap for Child’s Play franchise collectors
Cons:- Niche appeal limited to fans of the later Child’s Play films
- No companion Tiffany figure despite the Bride of Chucky branding
- Display-only — not suited for play or handling
Best for: Child’s Play franchise fans who want the Bride-era look rather than the classic clean Chucky
Not ideal for: General gift-buyers — the deep-cut movie reference limits appeal outside the horror-comedy niche
- Brand:Funko
- Character:Chucky
- Sub Brand:Pop! Movies
- Model Number:63982
- Figure Type:Miniature Vinyl Figure
- Height:Approximately 4 inches
- Age Range:Adult, Child
- Warranty:No Warranty
Our verdict“A detail-rich treat for Child’s Play devotees, but too franchise-specific for a general horror shelf.”
Funko POP! Movies: Friday the 13th – Jason Voorhees
This is one of the older releases in the lineup, and that vintage status cuts both ways. Jason is arguably the most iconic slasher represented here — more so than Chucky or even Ghostface in terms of franchise longevity — and this figure captures the hockey-mask-and-machete silhouette cleanly. Compared with the newer Chucky Pop, the sculpt is simpler, but the character recognition is broader, making this the safer pick for a horror display that needs an anchor icon. The real drawback is transparency: listings carry scarce spec information, no confirmed dimensions, and pricing varies widely because the original run has drifted to secondary sellers. Collectors comparing this against the Michael Myers figure elsewhere in this roundup should weigh availability carefully — Jason is the bigger name, but Myers may be easier to source in consistent condition.
Pros:- Jason is one of the most iconic horror characters ever filmed
- Durable vinyl suited to long-term display
- Clean, recognizable mask-and-machete design
- Pairs naturally with Myers and Ghostface for a slasher lineup
Cons:- Older release means inconsistent availability and pricing from third-party sellers
- Limited published specs — size and features vary by listing
- Simpler sculpt than newer horror Pop releases
Best for: Classic slasher fans building an anchor-piece horror shelf around the genre’s biggest icons
Not ideal for: Buyers who want guaranteed sizing and condition — inconsistent listings make this a gamble
- Character:Jason Voorhees
- Franchise:Friday the 13th
- Series:Pop! Movies
- Material:Vinyl
- Type:Collectible Figure
- Design:Hockey mask with machete
Our verdict“The essential slasher icon for a horror shelf, but buy carefully given the older release’s uneven listings.”
How We Picked
My ranking logic for these pop culture movie collectibles came down to four factors: display presence, character recognition, price-to-size ratio, and collector appeal. Display presence carried the most weight, because a collectible’s primary job is to sit on a shelf and immediately signal fandom to anyone who sees it. Figures that include vehicles, oversized sculpts, or diorama elements scored higher here than standard 3.75-inch character Pops. Character recognition mattered almost as much, since a collectible tied to an instantly iconic film moment ages better than one tied to a passing reference.
Price-to-size ratio separated the mid-tier from the bottom of the list, with 6-inch figures like Jaws and Godzilla punching above their weight. Finally, collector appeal, including chase variants and anniversary editions, acted as a tiebreaker for buyers thinking about long-term value. Figures that scored well across all four criteria ranked highest, while single-scenario figures, like overlapping Back to the Future variants, ranked lower despite strong individual quality.
Factors to Consider When Choosing Pop Culture Movie Collectibles
Choosing between pop culture movie collectibles involves more than picking your favorite movie. These broader factors shaped my rankings and should shape your purchase.Standard Size vs. Super-Sized and Deluxe Figures
The single biggest price driver in this category is size, and many first-time buyers overpay for standard figures while missing the better value in larger ones. A 6-inch super-sized figure typically costs only 30-50% more than a standard Pop but delivers two to three times the visual footprint, which matters if you’re building a display rather than filling a case. Deluxe Rides figures that pair a character with a vehicle occupy a middle ground: they cost more, but they tell a story on the shelf that a lone figure cannot. The mistake to avoid is buying multiple standard figures of related characters when one larger piece would make a stronger statement. If budget is tight, one well-chosen super-sized figure almost always beats three standard ones for display impact. Size also affects long-term storage and resale shipping costs, which collectors frequently underestimate.
Chase Variants: Gamble or Gimmick?
Chase variants, like the 1-in-6 odds on the Jigsaw Killer figure, are the lottery tickets of the collectibles world, and you need to be honest with yourself about whether you’re buying the figure or the odds. A chase figure is a rare alternate version shipped randomly inside sealed cases, meaning an online order gives you no control over which version arrives. The common mistake is paying a premium expecting the chase, then feeling cheated when the standard version shows up, even though the listed odds were always against you. If you want a specific chase version guaranteed, buying it openly on the secondary market costs more upfront but removes the uncertainty entirely. My advice: only buy chase-chance figures if you’d be happy with the standard version anyway. Treat the chase as a bonus, never as the reason for purchase.
Franchise Overlap and Display Cohesion
When a single franchise like Back to the Future has four different figures on the market, the temptation is to buy them all, but cohesion should guide you instead. Ask whether your display tells one strong story or several weak ones: a shelf dedicated to a single franchise with its hero, vehicle, and key moment reads as intentional, while one figure from five different franchises reads as scattered. Related figures also tend to appreciate or depreciate together, so franchise-stacking concentrates your collecting risk. A smarter approach for most budgets is one anchor piece per franchise, chosen for maximum recognition, then filling gaps later if the fandom holds. Anniversary editions, like the Godzilla 70th figure, make natural anchor picks because their significance is baked into the release. Decide your display theme before you buy, not after.
Horror Figures: Licensing, Recognition, and Audience
Horror dominates affordable movie collectibles, but buyers should think about who will actually see the display. A Michael Myers or Ghostface figure is instantly recognizable even to casual movie fans, which gives it broad conversational value, while figures like Chucky or Jigsaw appeal to a narrower slasher-devoted audience. This matters for gifting especially: a recognizable villain is a safer gift than an obscure one, even for a horror fan. Horror figures also see demand spikes every October, so prices on secondary markets tend to rise in early fall and dip in spring, a pattern worth exploiting if you’re patient. Another consideration is placement, since parents often overlook that horror figures in shared living spaces draw reactions from guests and children alike. Match the intensity of the villain to where it will live.
Packaging Condition and Secondary Market Value
If there’s any chance you’ll resell or trade later, box condition is nearly as important as the figure itself. Collectors grade Pop boxes on corner sharpness, window clarity, and crease-free surfaces, and a damaged box can cut resale value by 30% or more. Retail-exclusive and anniversary figures tend to hold value best when kept sealed, while common standard releases rarely appreciate regardless of condition. The practical mistake is discarding boxes to save shelf space and discovering years later that the boxed version sells for multiples of the loose one. Window displays solve this partially, letting you show the figure while keeping the box intact behind it. Buy from sellers who ship with protective padding, since transit damage is the most common cause of box defects.
When to Pay More for a Premium Piece
Not every collectible purchase needs to be cheap, and knowing when to splurge separates satisfying collections from regrettable ones. Pay more when a figure offers something structurally different, like a vehicle, diorama base, or oversized sculpt, rather than just a popular character name at a marked-up price. Anniversary and milestone releases deserve premium consideration because their production runs often end and don’t return. Conversely, avoid paying premium prices for standard figures simply because a movie is currently trending, since trend-driven prices usually collapse once hype fades. A good rule: if the premium price buys more physical figure or genuine rarity, it’s justified; if it only buys a name, wait for a discount. Patience rewards collectors in this category more than almost any other.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I buy the Doc with Time Machine Deluxe or the standalone DeLorean figure?
These two Back to the Future figures overlap heavily, so most collectors should pick one rather than both. The Deluxe Doc with Time Machine makes more sense if you want a single self-contained display piece, since it combines character and vehicle in one purchase with a unified sculpt. The standalone DeLorean suits collectors who already own Marty or Doc figures and want the car to complete an existing arrangement. Price-wise, the Deluxe usually costs meaningfully more, but its display presence is substantially stronger. If this is your first Back to the Future collectible, go Deluxe; if you’re filling out a set, the standalone car is the smarter add.
Are chase variant figures like the Jigsaw Killer worth the risk?
Only if you’d be satisfied receiving the standard version, which is what happens roughly five out of six times. The 1-in-6 chase odds mean most buyers get the regular figure, so the purchase price should be justified by the base figure alone. Where chases make sense is for collectors who genuinely love the character and view the rare variant as a possible bonus. Where they don’t make sense is speculative buying, since chasing variants at retail with resale in mind usually loses money once you account for the failed attempts. If you specifically want the chase version, buying it outright on the secondary market costs more but removes the gamble entirely.
Which horror figure is the best starting point for a new collector?
For most new collectors, Michael Myers is the strongest first horror figure because his silhouette and mask are recognizable even to people who’ve never seen Halloween, giving the figure broad display appeal. Ghostface is a close second with similar universal recognition and often a slightly lower price point. Pennywise works well if you prefer a more colorful, less grim display, since the 1990 design reads as pop art as much as horror. Jason and Chucky are better second or third purchases, appealing mainly to established slasher fans. The practical advice: start with the villain from a movie you actually love, because your own fandom sustains a collection far better than market logic does.
Do Funko Pop figures actually hold their value over time?
Most don’t, and buying them as investments is a mistake. Standard, widely produced figures typically sell below retail on the secondary market once initial demand fades, since supply stays abundant. The exceptions are vaulted figures (retired from production), genuine chase variants, and convention or anniversary exclusives, which can appreciate when production ends for good. Box condition heavily influences resale pricing, so keeping figures sealed and protected matters if value retention matters to you. The healthier framing is to buy for enjoyment and treat any appreciation as a bonus, because the collectors who do best financially are almost always the ones who bought what they loved and held it for years.
Is the 6-inch Jaws shark really better value than a standard figure?
In display terms, yes, and it’s the clearest value case in this lineup. A 6-inch super-sized figure like the Jaws Great White typically costs only modestly more than a standard Pop while occupying roughly double the shelf footprint, making it one of the best display-per-dollar options available. It also works as a standalone statement piece in a way standard character figures can’t, since the shark itself is the icon rather than a person. The tradeoff is that it limits your display flexibility, because one large figure dictates more of the shelf arrangement than a small one. For collectors choosing between several standard figures and one super-sized piece, Jaws is the figure that justifies going big.
Conclusion
Mapping these fifteen pop culture movie collectibles to buyer types makes the decision straightforward. For best overall, the Funko POP! Rides Deluxe: Doc with Time Machine wins on display presence, character recognition, and the simple fact that a vehicle-plus-figure combination outclasses every standard Pop here. For best value, the Jaws 6-inch Great White Shark delivers the most visual impact per dollar in the entire lineup. For best premium pick beyond the Deluxe, the October 2015 Time Travel Exclusive Doc Brown targets dedicated Back to the Future collectors willing to pay for exclusivity. For beginners, the Michael Myers figure is the safest first purchase: affordable, instantly recognizable, and a strong foundation for a horror display. For speculative collectors, the Jigsaw Killer with chase chance is the only figure here with real rarity upside, provided you’re happy with the standard version. And for buyers building a milestone-focused collection, the Godzilla 70th Anniversary figure anchors a display with built-in significance. Whatever your budget, pick the figure tied to the movie you actually love, because that connection outlasts any price fluctuation.
