Common questions about the Giles Pop! Television from Funko (2017).
The answers below are provided by contributors and may not be fully accurate. Verify important details before relying on them.
No, the Giles Pop! Television (SKU 596) is not considered rare. It was a standard production release from 2017 and was widely available through major retailers and online marketplaces. While older Funko Pops can sometimes see increased demand due to age, this specific figure remains common in the secondary market.
The value of a Giles Pop! Television figure (SKU 596) varies significantly based on its condition and whether it is sealed in the box. As a standard 2017 release, the unopened retail price typically ranges between $10 and $15, while the loose figure generally sells for $5 to $8 on the secondary market. Prices for this specific character are generally lower than those for lead characters like Buffy or Angel, so collectors should expect modest returns unless the item is in pristine, unopened condition.
To authenticate your Giles Pop! Television (SKU 596), verify that the box features the official Funko logo and displays the correct character name, series title, and number. Inspect the figure for high-quality paint application, sharp sculpting details, and a secure, well-fitted head joint, as counterfeit versions often exhibit sloppy molding or faded colors. While there is no single definitive holographic seal on standard Funko Pop! boxes, you can cross-reference the packaging design and box dimensions against official Funko product listings to confirm authenticity.
The Giles Pop! Television was released in 2017 by Funko.
Funko has discontinued the Giles Pop! Television figure, so it is no longer in print or available for purchase as a new item from the manufacturer. Collectors seeking this specific SKU must look for used copies on the secondary market, where prices are typically higher than the original retail value.
There is no standardized third-party grading service for Funko Pop! vinyl figures, so you should assess the condition yourself by checking for common defects like paint overspray, hairline cracks, and seam lines. Inspect the figure under bright light to ensure the eyes are aligned and the face is not warped, and verify that the box is free of significant damage if you are evaluating the complete set.
