Funko Pop! Still Rules the Shelf
Funko Pop! figures remain at the top of every collector’s list. In 2024, they’ve released new lines inspired by The Last of Us, Stranger Things, and Barbie the Movie.
Limited-edition releases—especially glow-in-the-dark and Comic-Con exclusives—continue to drive demand.
Collaborations with Disney and Marvel are drawing in both new and longtime collectors.
LEGO: A Timeless Build with a Modern Twist
LEGO’s 2024 lineup is a collector’s dream. From pop culture to architecture, there’s something for everyone.
Standout sets include a reimagined Eiffel Tower, Oppenheimer-themed builds, and a special edition Millennium Falcon. Their blind-bag minifigures also remain a big hit, especially rare characters that add value to collections. Retired and limited-run sets are increasingly sought-after on the resale market.
Pokémon Cards: Catching Big Value
Pokémon continues to dominate the collectible card game scene. The Scarlet & Violet series features stunning full-art cards, while premium boxes like the “Master Trainer Box” offer exclusive items.
Graded cards—those professionally rated for quality—are especially hot, with vintage cards and new hits alike fetching serious prices. Pokémon’s enduring popularity shows no signs of slowing down.
Barbie’s Fashionable Comeback
Riding the wave of Barbie the Movie, Mattel has reignited Barbie mania. High-end collector dolls replicate Margot Robbie’s iconic looks and bring Ken to life with movie-accurate details.
Reissues of vintage Barbies from the ’50s and ’60s are delighting nostalgic fans, while luxury collabs with Balmain and Moschino turn Barbie into a fashion icon for the modern age.

Popular collaborations with Fast & Furious and Batman add extra flair, and collectors flock to conventions to hunt down rare finds.
Action Figures: Old Favorites, New Legends
2024 brings a stellar mix of nostalgic and fresh action figures.
The Star Wars Black Series and Marvel Legends lines feature detailed sculpts and fun accessories, especially characters from Ahsoka and Secret Wars.
Retro reissues—from TMNT to Masters of the Universe—keep vintage vibes alive. Limited exclusives on platforms like Hasbro Pulse fuel the excitement.
Blind Boxes: The Thrill of the Unknown
Mystery toys are bigger than ever. The surprise of opening a blind box is part of the appeal, whether it’s a quirky Kidrobot figure or a rare LOL or Hatchimal toy.
Brands like Medicom Toy have also joined the trend with their artist-designed Be@rbrick series. Each box is a gamble, and that suspense keeps collectors coming back for more.
Plush Collectibles: Soft, Cute, and In Demand
Plush toys are no longer just for kids—they’re serious collectibles.
Squishmallows continue their reign with themed releases and pop culture tie-ins.
Limited Build-A-Bear releases featuring Marvel, Star Wars, and Disney characters are flying off shelves. Designer plush lines like Jellycat are also turning heads among adult collectors.
Vintage Toys: Nostalgia Never Gets Old
Old-school is the new cool. Vintage toy collecting has exploded in 2024, as millennials chase the toys of their childhood.
Rare board games, original G.I. Joes,
Transformers, and Polly Pockets are now prized treasures. Items still in their original packaging can sell for thousands at auctions. For many, these toys are a way to relive the past while investing in the future.
