The value of the Artemi Panarin Pop! Hockey figure (SKU 61) fluctuates based on market demand and condition, but it typically sells for between $10 and $20 for a sealed, unopened box.

I cannot provide a definitive authentication for your specific item without physically inspecting it, as I do not have access to visual details of your collectible. To verify the authenticity of a Funko Pop, you should check for the official Funko logo on the base, ensure the packaging has a valid UPC code, and compare the figure's paint application and sculpting quality against high-resolution images of the official SKU 61 release. If the figure appears poorly molded, has misaligned eyes, or lacks the standard Funko branding, it is likely a counterfeit.
Funko does not publish specific release dates for individual Pop! figures, so the exact release date for the Artemi Panarin Pop! Hockey is not reliably documented. While the figure is part of the NHL Hockey line, precise launch timing for this specific SKU is not available in public records.
I cannot find reliable information confirming that the Artemi Panarin Pop! Hockey figure (SKU 61) is currently in print or available for purchase new from Funko. As a specific player figure from the NHL collection, it is likely a limited production run that has sold out, making it primarily available through the secondary market.
Grading a Funko Pop! figure typically involves assessing the condition of the vinyl body, the head articulation, and the original packaging, with the box often being the most critical factor for value. For a professional grade, you would submit the item to a third-party service like PSA, which will assign a numerical score based on specific defects such as scratches, paint wear, or box damage. If you are checking the condition yourself, inspect the figure under bright light for surface scuffs and verify that the head is not loose or cracked, while ensuring the box remains sealed and free of significant wear if you intend to sell it as a sealed item.
