No, the Rio Pop! Television (SKU 917) is not considered rare. It is a standard production figure released in 2019 that was widely distributed through major retail channels, making it a common item in the Funko Pop! catalog.
The Rio Pop! Television figure (SKU 917) is a standard retail release from 2019, and its value is primarily determined by its condition and whether it is sealed in its original box. As a common item from a popular franchise, it typically sells for a modest price on the secondary market, generally ranging from a few dollars to around $10–$15 for a new, unopened unit. Opened figures are worth significantly less, often only a few dollars, unless they are in pristine condition.
To authenticate your Rio Pop! Television (SKU 917), verify that the box features the standard Funko branding and that the vinyl figure has the characteristic matte finish and consistent paint application typical of the 2019 production run. Check the bottom of the figure for the molded "Funko" logo and ensure the packaging includes the correct UPC and copyright information. If the figure exhibits significant paint bleed, sharp seams, or lacks the proper logo, it may be a counterfeit, so comparing it to verified images of the 2019 release is recommended.
The Rio Pop! Television was released in 2019 by Funko.
Funko has discontinued the Rio Pop! Television figure, meaning it is no longer in print and cannot be purchased new directly from the manufacturer. While occasional restocks may appear on third-party resale platforms, the item is generally considered out of production and is typically only available from secondary markets.
Condition-checking a Rio Pop! Television involves inspecting the vinyl figure for surface scratches, paint chips, and hairline cracks, with particular attention to the beak and feet where wear is most common. You should also verify that the eyes are clean and free of clouding, and ensure the figure is securely seated in its original box without any loose parts. While third-party grading services like PSA or CGC can provide a standardized condition score, most collectors assess these items by eye against the original packaging to determine if the figure is in mint, near-mint, or played-with condition.
