What is the most that you've spent on a character?

[acheno84]

I wouldn't consider myself an avid collector, but I do have a few characters in my house. Just curious, what is the most that you've spent on a character? I know that there are some that are hard to find and a rare sell, but since I'm still getting into these adorable little guys, I'm curious to see what the going rate is for some.

My most expensive Funko was my Xenomorph figure, which I think was around 15 or so dollars when I found it on Amazon.

I really wanted the special set of the three dragon figures from Game of Thrones but I couldn't find them anywhere for cheaper than 60 dollars and I thought that was way too much for three figures in a box.

For me, it has to be the Funko Pop Silver Loki:

​

This one is from the first Thor movie. Right now, it is sold for about $80 to $85 but back then, it was sold much higher. Still, I do wish I have the Batman Flashpoint Pop Vinyl:

​

About 480 pieces were made and right now, it's sold for $590. But it can go as high as $800, depending on the bidder.

Wow, to the post above me.

As high as $800! I'd buy that just as an investment LOL.

I haven't spent anywhere near that on one figure.

Mine was around $20 I guess (if my GBP to USD conversion is right LOL)

Viserion Pop funky figre. 15$ for a 6" tall action figure of the dragon.

I try to limit my pending to within 200% of MSRP, if not things could get out of fast. Lucky I haven't yet acquired a taste for any of the more limited releases like that Batman, pretty awesome none the less.

Well I am a pretty cheap person when it comes to my purchases to begin with, and I have been the same when it comes to my figures, but the good news is that they are not too expensive. I think that the most I have ever spent was around 50 dollars, but other than that it is usually nothing the breaks the bank. I agree with @jahroberts on the $800 one...that would need to be a serious investment consideration.

I spend a lot now with Random pop but I am looking forward to spend for star wars pop collection

Of course a Law Trafalgar chibi style toy. I do like him so much. He is my collection.

I probably spend a few hundred dollars a month, between BDs and figures. It definitely varies depending on the timing of specific releases, though. Some months I don't buy anything, sometimes I blow my entire budget on preorders. If you're new to the hobby, then your spending should curve down once you're not overwhelmed by all the goodies. I had the same problem during my first few months and when I got a decent job. However, if you have been at this for a while and still easily spending $300+ every month, you need to prioritize and put some thought behind your purchases.
