Most Pop Vinyl figures originally carry a standard retail price of around $10 and can be found at stores such as Hot Topic, FYE, Walmart and Target, but there are plenty of other figures that are exclusive to certain conventions, stores, websites and more.<\/p>\n<p>Funko has made Pop Vinyl figures of WWE wrestlers and then-New Japan Pro Wrestling stars Kenny Omega, Cody Rhodes and the Young Bucks. In addition, wrestling-related figures have included Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer, Dwayne &#8220;the Rock&#8221; Johnson as Luke Hobbs and Jack Black&#8217;s titular character from &#8220;Nacho Libre,&#8221; among others.<\/p>\n<p>Some wrestling Pop Vinyl figures are worth hundreds of dollars. Here&#8217;s a look at the five most valuable wrestling Pop Vinyl figures to date, based on eBay sale prices for the 90 days ending June 11, 2019. Only figures with at least five completed listings were included.<\/p>\n<p>A handy guide to Funko WWE Pop Vinyl figures is available <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cardboardconnection.com\/funko-pop-wwe-figures-guide-gallery\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Hulk Hogan #11 WWE.com Exclusive. Average eBay sale price: $320.00. Funko made a few different Pops of Hogan from 2014 to 2015, before \u201cthe Hulkster\u201d ran afoul of WWE and its licensing partners. This is the most valuable of the bunch; it was exclusive to WWE.com and has Hogan in a yellow \u201cHulk Rules\u201d shirt.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/06\/01_Hogan.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-81359 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/06\/01_Hogan-209x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/06\/01_Hogan-209x300.jpg 209w, https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/06\/01_Hogan.jpg 279w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Rey Mysterio #06 2014 San Diego Comic Con Exclusive. Average eBay sale price: $289.37. Mysterio had three different Pops in 2014 before leaving the company, all of which are scarce and valuable. The most valuable of the bunch is this 2014 San Diego ComicCon exclusive, which has Mysterio in a black mask and gear with neon pink and blue highlights.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/06\/02_Rey.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-81360 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/06\/02_Rey-219x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"274\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/06\/02_Rey-219x300.jpg 219w, https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/06\/02_Rey.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CM Punk #02 Hot Topic Exclusive. Average eBay sale price: $217.88. Funko made two different versions of Punk\u2019s Pop in 2013. The basic figure has Punk in black tights with blue and white highlights and stars, similar to the gear he wore during his crowning moment at Money in the Bank 2011. But the more valuable of the two Pops is this Hot Topic exclusive, which has Punk in hot pink trunks and boots.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/06\/03_Punk.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-81361 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/06\/03_Punk-218x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/06\/03_Punk-218x300.jpg 218w, https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/06\/03_Punk.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>AJ Lee #12. Average eBay sale price: $215.30. The unique thing about AJ Lee\u2019s Pop is that while others on this list were limited edition figures exclusive to a website or a convention, hers was a standard figure that was found in most retail stores. This figure has AJ in a black \u201cLove Bites\u201d T-shirt and pink and black gear.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/06\/04_AJLee.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-81362 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/06\/04_AJLee-300x232.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/06\/04_AJLee-300x232.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/06\/04_AJLee.jpg 474w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Randy Savage #10 WWE.com Exclusive.
