The Ultimate 2025 Coraline Funko Pop Checklist: 10 Rarest & Newest Figures For Collectors
The Coraline Funko Pop line has experienced a massive resurgence in collector interest, driven by the film’s 15th Anniversary, making it one of the hottest properties in the Funko world right now. As of late 2024 and early 2025, new releases have dramatically expanded the original, highly-coveted set, introducing sought-after characters like Wybie Lovat and the iconic Spink & Forcible duo. This comprehensive guide provides the most current information, including the latest 15th-anniversary figures, the value of the ultra-rare Chase variants, and the complete checklist you need to stay ahead of the market.
The original Funko Pops, released years ago, were notoriously difficult to find, often commanding high prices on the secondary market. The recent wave of releases and exclusives—timed perfectly for the anniversary—has given new and veteran collectors a fresh chance to complete their sets, but also introduced new grail pieces that are already climbing in value. Understanding the history of the line, from the original "Coraline in Raincoat" to the latest "Coraline With Dowsing Rod" exclusive, is essential for any serious collector.
Coraline: The Stop-Motion Masterpiece & Funko Pop Timeline
The 2009 stop-motion fantasy horror film Coraline, produced by Laika and directed by Henry Selick, is an adaptation of the 2002 novel by Neil Gaiman. The movie, which tells the story of Coraline Jones discovering a dark, idealized "Other World" behind a secret door, immediately became a modern classic. This rich, visually stunning world, filled with memorable characters, is the perfect source material for Funko Pop! Vinyl figures.
The film’s 15th Anniversary in 2024 served as the primary catalyst for the new wave of Funko Pops, significantly expanding the initial, very limited release. The original line, which debuted years after the film, consisted of just a handful of figures, making them instantly rare and "vaulted."

The Complete Coraline Funko Pop Checklist (Original & 15th Anniversary)
The Coraline Funko Pop collection is divided into two main waves: the original, highly-vaulted release and the expansive 15th Anniversary wave. The total value of all Coraline Funko Pop Vinyl Figures is actively tracked by collectors, with the overall market value showing significant recent growth, reflecting the high demand.
Wave 1: The Vaulted Originals (High Value)
These figures are the foundation of the collection and are now considered "vaulted," meaning they are no longer in production and typically carry the highest secondary market value.
- Pop! Animation #423 Coraline in Raincoat: The standard release, featuring Coraline in her iconic yellow slicker.
- Pop! Animation #423 Coraline in Raincoat [Chase Variant]: The most famous grail piece. This rare Chase variant features Coraline without her hat and is significantly more valuable than the common version.
- Pop! Animation #423 Coraline in Raincoat [Diamond Collection]: An exclusive, glittery variant that is also highly sought after.
- Pop! Animation #424 Coraline in Pajamas: A simple yet charming figure of Coraline ready for bed.
- Pop! Animation #425 Coraline Doll: The terrifying and crucial doll with button eyes that the Beldam uses to lure Coraline.
- Pop! Animation #426 Mr. Bobinsky: The eccentric Russian acrobat in his signature blue outfit.
Wave 2: The 15th Anniversary Expansion (2024-2025 Releases)
The 15th Anniversary celebration has brought several new figures, including long-awaited characters and dynamic scenes, making the collection feel complete for many fans. These figures, released in 2024, are the freshest additions to the line.
- Pop! Movies #1643 Coraline in Tunnel [Deluxe]: A dynamic deluxe figure featuring Coraline crawling through the portal to the Other World.
- Pop! Movies #1644 Wybie Lovat: A highly anticipated character figure, finally giving collectors the chance to own Coraline's friend.
- Pop! Movies Coraline With Dowsing Rod [NYCC 2024 Exclusive]: A convention exclusive, instantly making it a limited-edition piece and a potential new grail.
- Pop! Movies Spink & Forcible (2-pack): A 2-pack featuring the retired actresses, Miss Spink and Miss Forcible, often shown with their beloved Scottie dogs.
- Pop! Movies Coraline with Doll #1973 [Exclusive]: A more recent exclusive figure, often seen at specialty retailers.
Why the Coraline in Raincoat Chase is the Ultimate Grail
Among all the Coraline Funko Pops, the Coraline in Raincoat [Chase Variant] #423 remains the undisputed "grail" for most collectors. Its value is consistently high due to a few key factors that every collector should know.
The Rarity Factor: Chase variants are produced at a ratio of approximately 1-in-6, meaning for every six common figures, only one Chase is produced. This inherent scarcity limits supply immediately.
The Visual Difference: The common Coraline in Raincoat figure wears her signature yellow hat. The Chase variant, however, features Coraline without the hat, revealing her blue hair and adding a distinct, easily recognizable difference that collectors crave. This variation is a classic example of what drives up the value of a Chase figure.
The Vaulted Status: Since the original wave is now vaulted, no new stock of either the common or the Chase variant is being produced. This means the existing supply is finite, pushing the secondary market price higher, especially for figures in mint condition with the official sticker. Collectors should check current price guides for the most accurate, up-to-the-minute valuation.
Tips for Collecting Coraline Funko Pops in 2025
With the 15th Anniversary wave bringing a fresh infusion of figures, 2025 is an excellent time to get into the Coraline Funko Pop collecting scene. Here are the best strategies to build your collection.
1. Prioritize the New 15th Anniversary Wave
The newest figures, such as the Wybie Lovat Pop!, the Coraline in Tunnel Deluxe, and the Spink & Forcible 2-pack, are currently the most accessible. Secure these figures first, as their prices will inevitably begin to climb once they are retired or "vaulted" in the future. Look for releases from 2024 and 2025 at major retailers and online collectible stores.
2. Track the Exclusives Carefully
The Coraline With Dowsing Rod exclusive from NYCC 2024 is a prime example of a figure that will be difficult to acquire later. Always pay attention to Funko's announcements regarding convention exclusives (like New York Comic Con or San Diego Comic-Con) and retailer exclusives (like Hot Topic or Entertainment Earth) to get them at the initial retail price before they hit the expensive secondary market.
3. Use a Reliable Price Guide for Vaulted Pops
If you are hunting for the original vaulted figures, such as the Coraline Doll #425 or the Coraline in Raincoat Chase #423, never buy without checking a current, reputable Funko Pop price guide. Prices fluctuate based on market demand, condition, and recent sales data. The total value of the entire set is a useful benchmark, but individual rare figures will always command a premium.
The Coraline Funko Pop line perfectly captures the creepy charm and unique aesthetic of the Laika film. Whether you are chasing the original vaulted figures or enjoying the new 15th Anniversary releases, this collection offers a compelling and valuable piece of stop-motion movie history.
