- "Mystery box of fun."
[laughing]
- Yes, it is.
- So what's in the mystery box of fun?
- I'm a huge Batman fan and I found out that there was
a really important
limited-edition Batman and Joker
offered at the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con.
So I stood in line all night to find out it did come with
two of the pieces that I was chasing
and a special metallic Skeletor.
- Okay, uh... [laughing]
♪ ♪
- I'm here today at the pawn shop
to sell my collection of Funko Pop vinyl toys.
I'm a lifelong Batman fan,
and so I got these at the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con.
I was hoping at $3,000 today for the collection.
If I'm able to walk out of here today with $3,000--
I'm a sushi chef so I was hoping to put
that money towards getting some new knives.
♪ ♪
- Funko's a really incredible company.
They started coming out with them in the '90s,
and then Funko changed hands, I think, right around 2005
and a new guy took over and really marketed it,
and it just sort of blew up.
You wouldn't think it-- it's a vinyl toy.
You know what I mean? So we have Skeletor vinyl.
We all know who the Joker is.
I mean, you don't even have to put Joker on this thing.
Everyone--you just look at that and you know it's the Joker.
- Absolutely. - And, um,
Batman as a little kid, I guess.
These are pretty cool.
I know these things can go for a fortune.
There's people who collect just Funko toys.
- You know, I was happy with these being a part
of my collection, but then recently discovered
that they might be worth something.
- Okay, um, so how much are you looking to get out of these?
- 3,000.
- $3,000.
Okay, um, all right.
I know some of these go for crazy money.
I didn't know they go for that kind of crazy money.
Let me call someone who knows a lot more about this stuff
than I do because I just generally don't deal
in Funko Skeletors.
[laughing] - No problem.
First time in my life, I wish Chum was here.
[laughs]
[rock music]
We have the Joker and we have Batman.
- What this was was, um, in 2013--
and pretty much every year since, um--
Funko has produced what they call the Mystery Box of Fun.
You purchase it
and you don't know which ones you're gonna get.
The mascot for Funko is Freddy Funko.
- Okay. - And so your Joker
and the Batman here are Freddy Funko dressed as
the Joker and this Batman.
So when they do that, they limit the numbers on these.
- Okay. I know that these can go for money,
but he wants, like, crazy money for these things.
- The box condition and the actual paint application
on the vinyl, they are part of that value of the figure.
♪ ♪
Let me see and just kind of
look at the condition here.
That looks pretty nice, overall.
You have a little bit of box damage up here
on the top corner, so it does effect, say,
his value a little bit.
The Joker--
uh, it seems like his box looks really nice.
Looks like this is a really nice example of one, um--
so he looks to be in near-mint condition.
So that's nice.
And Batman, um,
looks like this box is in pretty good condition too.
It does have--looks like one little box crease there.
Um, so they're nice overall though.
And this is a very desirable set of these figures.
- All right, so...
what are they worth?
- With the box and the set being in nice condition
and what they are, I think you'd have no problem getting
$2,800 for the set.
♪ ♪
- Okay, um, learn something new every day.
- [chuckling] Thanks. Good luck.
- [sighing]
Would you take 1,500 bucks?
♪ ♪
- I can't take any less than 2,000.
♪ ♪
- Will you go 16?
♪ ♪
- Can you do 1,950?
♪ ♪
- I'll go 1,800.
♪ ♪
I know they're really highly collectable
but, I mean,
just anything more than that just doesn't make sense to me.
- Okay, well I appreciate your time today.
- All right.
Um, if change your mind, come back and see me.
- These toys mean a lot to me
and I'm very close to these things,
so I couldn't see myself parting with them
for less than $2,000 today.
