If the cost of living has you looking for alternative investments, then Funko Pops – aka big-headed figurines of famous faces – could be for you. The 10cm tall collectables look like kids’ toys, but some limited edition ‘Pops’ are valued at over $26,000. Yes, really… That’s for the ‘Holy Grail’ of a glowing Alex DeLarge Clockwork Orange Funko after only 6 were made, and all signed by Funko boss Brian Mariotti. Not all ‘limited edition’ Pops are valuable, but some experts are calling them the ‘cryptocurrency of collectables’. Most retail for $10-20 and can be picked up at your local shopping centre, so it’s one to keep in mind for Christmas gifts. Just beware – you might have to wait a couple decades for their inevitable ironic resurgence to make your money back, much like the recent Beanie Baby/Tamagotchi craze.
