No, the Dustin (Vest) Pop! Television is not considered rare. It is a standard production figure from the Stranger Things line that was widely available in retail stores and online during its 2019 release window. While sealed copies may command a premium over opened ones, the item is not a limited edition or exclusive variant.
The market value of the 2019 Dustin (Vest) Pop! Television figure (SKU 828) fluctuates based on condition and demand, but it typically sells for between $10 and $20 in its original box. As a standard production item from a popular series, it does not command a premium price compared to limited editions or rare variants. For the most accurate current valuation, checking recent sold listings on secondary marketplaces like eBay is recommended.
To authenticate your Dustin (Vest) Pop! Television, first verify that the SKU 828 is printed on the box and that the figure matches the 2019 release specifications for the character's vest and facial sculpt. Inspect the paint application for consistent quality, as counterfeit figures often exhibit bleeding paint, misaligned eyes, or rough seams. While there is no official serial number system for standard Funko Pops, you can compare the weight and material feel of the vinyl against a known genuine example to detect discrepancies. If the packaging and figure details align with official Funko product listings, it is likely authentic, but significant deviations in quality suggest a counterfeit.
The Dustin (Vest) Pop! Television was released in 2019 by Funko.
Funko has discontinued the Dustin (Vest) Pop! Television figure, so it is no longer in print and cannot be purchased new directly from the manufacturer. While the item is no longer produced, you may still find new, unopened units through third-party resellers, though prices are often significantly higher than the original retail value.
To condition-check a Dustin (Vest) Pop! Television, inspect the vinyl for surface scratches, paint chips, or mold lines, paying close attention to the vest details and the character's face. Verify that the eyes are properly aligned and that the figure stands upright on its base without excessive wobble. Check the packaging for any damage, creases, or seal integrity if you are evaluating it as a sealed item, as this significantly impacts its value.
