Leaning into it’s rich history of collectibles, eBay have launched an exclusive to eBay Funko collection, Vinyl Gold, as part of a new collaboration.
Funko is a leading pop culture and lifestyle brand with licensed pop culture products across multiple categories, including vinyl figures, board games, action toys, plush, apparel, housewares and accessories.
We like this initiative as it attracts consumers wanting to connect with their favourite pop culture brands and characters and they have to shop on eBay if they want the exclusive collection.
With millions of sales of Funko products on our marketplace last year, we recognize that this incredibly engaged community of collectors are already shopping on eBay. Our collaboration with Funko to bring exclusive inventory onto our platform allows us to deliver even more of the rare collectibles these enthusiasts are coveting.

The Vinyl Gold Funko collection on eBay will offer enthusiasts access to rare, sought after Funko products from iconic fandoms. Additional drops in the series will launch later this year.
Creating iconic products that connect fans to their passion is at the core of what we do. Collaborating with eBay allows us to broaden our reach delighting even more Funko collectors around the world.
– Johanna Gepford, Senior Vice President, Direct to Commerce, Funko
The collectibles market has fueled this collaboration between eBay and Funko, as eBay continues to shape the future of collecting through new digital and physical capabilities. eBay recently expanded its Authenticity Guarantee service to trading cards, and also launched the eBay vault, a secure storage facility and digital marketplace for trading cards. These enhancements followed new tools introduced in 2021, including Price Guide and Collection and Image Scan.
