No, the Tumblebee Pop! Monsters figure is not considered rare. It was part of the standard 2017 Transformers release line and was widely distributed through major retail channels. While specific production runs may vary by region, this item is generally considered a common collectible compared to limited edition or exclusive variants.
The Tumblebee Pop! Monsters figure from 2017 typically retails for approximately $10 to $15 in new, sealed condition. Because this is a standard production item from a popular line, it does not command a premium price on the secondary market, and used copies generally sell for less than the retail price.
To authenticate your 2017 Tumblebee Pop! Monsters, first verify that the box is sealed with the correct Funko branding and that the figure itself has the standard glossy vinyl finish with consistent paint application. Check the bottom of the figure for a molded copyright mark and the specific SKU number, which should align with the 2017 release date. While there is no single definitive hologram for this specific item, significant deviations in proportions, rough mold lines, or incorrect color saturation are common indicators of counterfeits. If the figure lacks the expected weight or feels hollow in a way that differs from standard Funko production, it may be a replica.

The Tumblebee Pop! Monsters from the 2017 release is no longer in print and is not available to buy new from Funko. As a discontinued item, it can only be purchased through the secondary market, such as online resale platforms or collector communities.
Condition-checking a Tumblebee Pop! Monsters primarily involves inspecting the vinyl figure for surface scratches, paint chips, and any signs of warping or fading, particularly on the head and limbs. You should also examine the box for shelf wear, creases, and the presence of the original shrink wrap, as sealed boxes command higher value. While third-party grading services like PSA can authenticate and grade the item, most collectors assess condition visually by comparing the figure against high-resolution images of a known perfect example.
