Common questions about the Chococat Pop! Sanrio from Funko (2022).
The answers below are provided by contributors and may not be fully accurate. Verify important details before relying on them.
The Chococat Pop! Sanrio (SKU 1018) is not considered rare, as it was part of a standard mass-production run released in 2022. Like most standard Funko Pop! figures, it was widely distributed through major retailers and is generally available on the secondary market.
The Chococat Pop! Sanrio (SKU 1018) is a standard retail collectible that typically sells for its original retail price of approximately $12 to $15 when new in box. Because it is a common release from 2022, it does not command a premium on the secondary market, and used copies generally trade for less than the retail price.
To authenticate your Chococat Pop! Sanrio, first verify that the box displays the official Funko logo and the correct SKU number 1018 on the side or bottom. Examine the vinyl figure for consistent paint application, sharp sculpting details, and a smooth finish, as counterfeits often exhibit blurry features, uneven coloring, or a rough texture. Additionally, check the base of the figure for a molded copyright mark and ensure the packaging includes the standard Funko branding and barcodes. If the item lacks these specific manufacturing markers or feels lightweight compared to genuine Funko vinyl, it is likely a replica.
The Chococat Pop! Sanrio was released in 2022 by Funko.
Funko has discontinued the Chococat Pop! Sanrio (SKU 1018), meaning it is no longer in print and cannot be purchased new from official retail channels. While the item may occasionally appear on the secondary market, it is considered out of production.
To grade a Chococat Pop! Sanrio, you should submit the figure to a professional third-party grading service such as PSA, CGC, or Beckett, which will evaluate the item and assign a numerical score based on its condition. For a preliminary condition check, inspect the figure under bright light for common defects like paint chips, mold lines, or scratches, and verify that the head articulation is intact and the figure is not loose in its box. If you are looking for a specific market value based on a grade, you must have the item professionally graded, as ungraded figures are generally valued at retail or below.
