Expert Funko collector John Krajnovich, aka PPG member johnk720, shares his Top-10 favorite Funko Pop! prototypes and more with our partners at hobbyDB. Click here to check out the entire list.

I started my Funko collection years ago when one of my coworkers got me one for a present and the rest was history. I’m a big baseball card and sports memorabilia collector so this just fit.

Soon I had almost every Funko Mini there was before moving on to Pints, which I completed. Then it was on to Sodas. After I broke the 10,000 piece point on my collection, I started on Protos and that has been a crazy fun and exciting turn of events…

Top-10 Prototypes

1. The Beatles

One of my most expensive sets. This was listed for sale in one of our Facebook groups and this set comes around once in a lifetime so I had to jump on it and so happy I did, this will be one of my most cherished sets and has the yellow Submarine which I have never even seen one before this set.

2. Linkin Park

When this came out, both me and one of my good friends both fell in love with this bank and both wanted proto. When one was given away at a Funko event and the winner was selling, my friend got him, even though I really wanted, but as a great friend he kept searching for a second one and with in a few weeks he found it and helped me to get him. So I’m forever grateful to him and what the Proto world represents.

Pop Price Guide Squad member Javier Serrano, aka Fjaviserr, took some time recently to share with our sister site hobbyDB some of that history with a look at a few of the more notable Funko prototypes and others that never quite made the cut.

Among the topics Javier touches upon is the rarity of these figures, as well as Funko’s Brian Mariotti hand-signed and numbered “color reject” system.
