Common questions about the Sam Pop! Movies from Funko (2020).
The answers below are provided by contributors and may not be fully accurate. Verify important details before relying on them.
The Sam Pop! Movies vinyl figure is not considered rare. It is a standard release from 2020 with a high production volume, making it widely available on the secondary market. Collectors can typically find this item at regular retail prices without significant scarcity.
Funko Pop! figures generally retain value based on their original retail price, which was typically $9.99 to $14.99 for standard releases. The Sam from Stranger Things (Wave 1) is a common variant with no significant scarcity, so it usually sells for $10 to $15 in mint condition. Graded copies or exclusive variants may command slightly higher prices, but this specific SKU is not considered a high-value investment piece.
Authenticating a Funko Pop requires verifying the SKU, which should be 1036 for the Sam figure, and checking that the box art matches official Funko releases from 2020. Examine the vinyl figure for precise molding, consistent paint application, and the correct Funko logo on the base, as counterfeit items often display poor detail or incorrect branding. If the packaging or figure shows significant deviations from these standards, it is likely not genuine.

The Sam Pop! Movies vinyl figure (SKU 1036) is no longer in print and has been retired by Funko. It is not available to buy new from the manufacturer or major retailers. Collectors must purchase this item from secondary markets such as eBay or Mercari.
Examine the vinyl surface for cracks, dents, or paint chips, paying close attention to the head and limbs where stress often occurs. Check the base for scuffs or wear, as this area frequently contacts surfaces during storage or display. Inspect the eyes and painted details for any smudging or fading, which can significantly affect value. Finally, verify that the figure is securely attached to its base and that the box, if included, shows no major damage to the window or corners.
