Evil spirits, beware, the Soul Reapers are here!

Bleach, and it’s first opening theme song, became an instant classic shortly after arriving on the anime scene. Seriously, if you haven’t heard the song, check it out. Tell me that doesn’t scream money!

Cool 2000’s rap/rock music aside, there surprisingly isn’t a lot of Bleach Funko POPs. There were a few quick small waves at the beginning, but things have been quiet Bleach-wise. However, a new exclusive is hitting stores soon, and it looks like Funko will continue the license later this year (if product rumors are to be believed).

Some of the original Bleach POPs have been heating up for a while, but it’s still not too late to get in.

The grail of the Bleach POPs, Hollow Ichigo was a 2016 Gamestop exclusive. It has ballooned in value to over $400, and it is not stopping. Some time ago, its status as “Vaulted” was removed, and everyone was speculating that a restock would happen. To date, a restock hasn’t happened, and its price continues to rise.

The common Ichigo is much more affordable. Of course, this means that it has the greatest room for growth. Spend $400 on an exclusive and hope it doubles over the next year, or spend $400 on 5 or 6 commons and hope those double in a shorter time span? Decisions, decisions.

Rukia herself has ballooned up, being the only female character from the show released thus far.

Grimmjow was supposed to have a restock, but Funko unexpectedly cancelled all orders. This made Grimmjow go from his humble $20 to the sudden $80 price tag.

Renji is the most affordable of the original wave, and he is currently not expected to have a restock (based on EE searches).

However, Renji also has an exclusive. And yes, it’s also a Gamestop exclusive!

This most likey won’t reach the same heights as Hollow Ichigo, but it can easily reach $100 soon. If you’re lucky, you could find some for $50 or so.

This version of Ichigo is the most recent one, and it’s just starting to hit stores. It is a AAA Exclusive, meaning that shops had to order it from AAA instead of Funko. You can still get some from Entertainment Earth:

These are a no brainer. As the other Ichigo POPs continue to hit insane numbers, people will gravitate to this one. You know what that means, right? This will eventually heat up. Plus, it’s also the first Chase within the Bleach line, so if you’re lucky and find one, you’ve struck Funko gold!

Whether you want to spend big on the older POPs, or get in cheap on the newer ones, you can’t go wrong with investing in the Bleach line.

For all the Schitt’s Creek fans, Funko has a new exclusive for you:

Amazon did an early release Spiderman 2211 pop today through their treasure truck promo. I grabbed one. It sold out quick and are already going for $60 on ebay.

Yeah, that’s going to be an expensive chase. Those die cast POPs sell for $50 at retail.

Dun-nun. Dun-nun. Dun-nun. Those seemingly simple notes made us all afraid to enter the water! With a combination of Steven Spielberg’s camera genius and John Williams’ genius musical mind, Jaws bursted onto silver screens during the summer of 1975 and reinvented what it was to be a blockbuster film. Within collecting circles, Jaws is regarded in the same vein as Creature from the Black Lagoon; any products that are put out quickly sell out and heat up. Sure enough, there are Funko POPs of Jaws, and they are starting to heat up!

There are a few POPs that feature Bruce the Shark. Any one of these is a great pick-up and a surefire bet to make you money down the line.

Shark Eating Boat came out last year, and it was a Gamestop exclusive. There’s bound to be a restock as it’s still a relative new POP. These are mandatory buy and holds.

Target released an exclusive POP and T-shit combo. The POP itself is currently valued above $40. If you can find the combo, you can sell the POP and get a free T-shirt!

There is also a common version of Bruce the Shark. The only difference is that the Target version has blood, while this one is fresh and clean.

Another common POP features Bruce chomping down on a scuba tank. This one seems to be the most affordable version of Bruce.

The current grail in the Jaws line is the SDCC 2019 exclusive featuring Bruce taking a bite out of poor old Quint. This one was shared with Entertainment Earth, and a mint box could run you upwards of $150.

Let’s not forget about our human protagonists. Chief Brody currently leads the pack as he is valued at $33.

Next we have Quint currently valued at $20 on PPG. However, on eBay, he is already rising past $30. Chief Brody better be careful. Quint could easily pass him and become the most expensive Jaws human.

Finally, we have Mr. Matt Hooper. Currently valued $1 higher than Quint on PPG, but he is still the most affordable one on eBay out of the 3.

Whether you get Bruce or the humans, the Jaws Funko line is a good one to have!

This is a good one. It’s the first time they do a POP with the old ECW logo:

Here’s another great pick:

https://www.funko.com/shop/details/anime-demon-slayer-zenitsu-agatsuma-pop

Zenitsu is quickly becoming the most popular character from Demon Slayer. His cry baby antics make him an instant baby face for female fans. According to Entertainment Earth, he’s scheduled for a restock in the summer. However, the second wave of Demon Slayer POPs are already in the works, and this could be the last restock for these characters. Make sure you have a few of each but definitely have a lot of Zenitsu.

He’s out of stock for now
