Common questions about the Nala Pop! Disney from Funko (2018).
The answers below are provided by contributors and may not be fully accurate. Verify important details before relying on them.
The Nala Pop! (SKU 497) is not considered rare, as it was a standard mass-production release from Funko's 2018 Disney line. These figures were widely available in retail stores and online during their production run, meaning they are generally easy to find in both new and used condition.
The standard Nala Pop! Disney figure (SKU 497) typically retails for approximately $10 to $12 in new condition. As a common, non-exclusive release from 2018, it does not command a premium in the secondary market, and used copies generally sell for less than the original retail price.
To authenticate your 2018 Nala Pop! (SKU 497), first verify that the box is a standard Funko Pop! window box with a clear plastic front and a cardboard back featuring the correct product image and barcode. The figure itself should have the characteristic vinyl finish, with the name "Nala" printed on the base and the Funko logo present. While there is no single definitive test for authenticity, significant deviations in paint application, eye clarity, or box printing compared to known genuine examples are strong indicators of a counterfeit. For a definitive authentication, you can submit the item to a third-party grading service like PSA, which will inspect the figure and packaging against their standards.
The Nala Pop! Disney was released in 2018 by Funko.
The Nala Pop! Disney (SKU 497) is currently out of print and is no longer available to purchase new from Funko or authorized retail partners. This specific figure was part of the 2018 release wave for The Lion King and has since been discontinued, meaning new stock is no longer being produced. Collectors seeking this item must look to the secondary market, such as eBay or other reseller platforms, where prices are typically higher than the original retail value.
To condition-check a Nala Pop! Disney, first inspect the vinyl surface under bright light for any cracks, scratches, or paint chips, paying close attention to high-wear areas like the paws and tail. Verify that the head is properly seated on the body and that the eyes are intact and aligned, as loose heads or missing eyes significantly impact value. If you are seeking a professional grade, submit the figure to a recognized third-party grading service such as Beckett Grading Services (BGS) or Certified Collectibles Group (CCG), which will evaluate the item on a 10-point scale and encapsulate it in a tamper-evident slab.
