Funko Pop Plants & Flora: Full Collection Guide

Funko Pop! Plants and Flora collectibles are vinyl figures based on popular plant-themed characters and real-world botanical icons, ranging from Audrey II in Little Shop of Horrors to the Piranha Plants from Super Mario. Before buying, you should know the main lines, the difference between standard and exclusive variants, and how to spot authentic figures to avoid fakes.

What Counts as a Plant or Flora Pop?

The “Plants & Flora” category on Funko’s official database is broad. It includes figures where the character is a plant, a flower, a tree, or a plant-like creature. This is different from a Pop that merely holds a plant (like a gardener). The main sub-groups are:

Sentient plants – Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors, the Piranha Plant and Petey Piranha from Super Mario, and the Triffids (if ever released).
Flower characters – Daisy from Bugs Bunny (as a flower), the Flower from Alice in Wonderland, and various Disney princesses with floral motifs are usually not included unless the character is literally a flower.
Tree/plant monsters – Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy (all variants), the Ent from Lord of the Rings, and the Whomping Willow from Harry Potter.
Real botanical figures – Rarely made, but Funko has produced a few “Plants vs. Zombies” figures (Peashooter, Sunflower) that are technically plants.

As of now, the largest single-plant line is the Super Mario Piranha Plant series, which includes glow-in-the-dark, metallic, and diamond editions. The Little Shop of Horrors Audrey II is the most iconic standalone plant Pop.

Key Lines and Variants

Here are the most collectible plant/flora Pops you will encounter:

Audrey II (Little Shop of Horrors) – The classic green plant with teeth. Variants include a bloody version, a glow-in-the-dark, and a 10-inch deluxe. The original 2016 release is the most valuable.
Piranha Plant (Super Mario) – Released in 2018 as a common, then a glow-in-the-dark, a metallic, and a diamond edition. The diamond edition is a Funko Shop exclusive.
Petey Piranha (Super Mario) – A larger, more detailed plant with a cage. Only one standard version exists.
Groot (Guardians of the Galaxy) – While technically a tree, Groot is categorized under flora. There are over 20 variants, including baby Groot, Groot with rocket, and a 10-inch figure.
Sunflower & Peashooter (Plants vs. Zombies) – These were released in 2016 and are now retired. They are among the few Pops based on pure video game plants.
Whomping Willow (Harry Potter) – A large tree Pop that comes with a flying car variant. It is a common but popular display piece.

How to Spot a Fake Plant Pop

Counterfeit Funko Pops are common, especially for popular plant characters like Audrey II and Groot. Here are the key checks:

Price – If a rare variant is priced far below market value, it is likely fake. For example, a metallic Piranha Plant should not be $15.
Paint job – Official Pops have clean lines and consistent colors. Fakes often have sloppy edges, wrong eye placement, or cheap glossy paint.
Weight – Authentic vinyl has a specific weight. A fake feels lighter and hollow.
Box details – Check the Funko logo, the serial number on the bottom, and the “POP!” font. Fakes often have blurry print or incorrect copyright text.
UPC barcode – Scan it with a phone app. If it does not match the character, it is fake.

Always buy from authorized retailers or reputable resellers with buyer protection.

What to Know Before Buying

Before you add a plant Pop to your collection, consider these factors:

Size – Standard Pops are about 3.75 inches tall. But some plant figures are 10 inches (Audrey II, Groot). Make sure you have shelf space.
Exclusive vs. Common – Exclusives are limited to specific stores (Target, Walmart, Funko Shop). They cost more and are harder to find. Commons are widely available and cheaper.
Condition – If you are an in-box collector, the box condition matters. Check for dents, creases, and shelf wear. Out-of-box collectors can save money by buying damaged-box items.
Chase variants – Some Pops have a “chase” version (e.g., a glow-in-the-dark or different paint). Chases are rarer (1 in 6 odds) and cost more.
Age – Older Pops (pre-2018) have a different box design and may be more valuable. The Audrey II original is a good example.

Costs and Budgeting

Prices vary wildly. A common Piranha Plant can be found for around $15–20. A rare metallic Audrey II can sell for $100–300 on the secondary market. The most expensive plant Pop is the 2016 Audrey II with blood, which has sold for over $400 in mint condition. Groot variants range from $10 to $150 depending on rarity. If you are on a budget, focus on commons and wait for restocks. Avoid paying reseller premiums for newly released figures – they often drop in price after a few months.

Common Problems and Misconceptions

One common misconception is that all plant Pops are part of a single “Flora” series. In reality, they are scattered across different franchises. Another issue is that some collectors confuse “plant” with “green character.” A Pop of the Hulk is not a plant. Also, be aware that some plant Pops are top-heavy – the 10-inch Groot can tip over easily if not displayed on a flat surface. The Piranha Plant’s stem is fragile and can break if the figure is dropped. Finally, glow-in-the-dark variants require exposure to light to charge; they do not glow permanently.

Alternatives to Funko Pop Plants

If you like the idea of plant-themed collectibles but want something different, consider:

Funko SODA – Vinyl figures with a metallic finish, often with a chase. There are a few plant SODA figures, like the Piranha Plant.
Funko VYNL – Larger, more stylized figures. Some have plant designs, but they are rare.
LEGO Botanical Collection – Not figures, but buildable plant sets (like the Bonsai Tree) that appeal to plant lovers.
Nendoroid – Japanese figures with interchangeable parts. Some plant characters (like Groot) have Nendoroid versions.
Real plants – A humorous but practical alternative: a potted succulent with a small Funko Pop head on top is a popular DIY trend.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Funko Pop plants worth anything?

Some are, but most commons are not. The value depends on rarity, age, and condition. The 2016 Audrey II is the most valuable plant Pop, with a market price of $200–400. Glow-in-the-dark and metallic variants also hold value. Commons like the standard Piranha Plant typically sell for $10–20.

How do I clean my Funko Pop plant?

Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe dust. For sticky residue, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, but avoid getting water into the joints. Do not use alcohol or solvents – they can remove the paint. Always dry immediately.

Can I display plant Pops outside their box?

Yes, but be aware that out-of-box Pops lose value if you ever resell. Also, some plant Pops (like the 10-inch Groot) are fragile. If you display them out of box, keep them away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.

What is the rarest Funko Pop plant?

The rarest is the 2016 Audrey II with blood variant, which was a limited convention exclusive. Only a few thousand were made. The diamond edition Piranha Plant is also rare, as it was a Funko Shop exclusive with a limited run.

Are there any plant Pops from Disney?

Yes, but not many. The most notable is the Flower from Alice in Wonderland (a talking flower). There is also a Groot (Marvel) that is often associated with Disney due to the theme parks. No Disney princess has a plant-form Pop.

How do I know if my Piranha Plant Pop is a chase?

Chase variants are not labeled on the box. You have to compare the figure to the common version. For the Piranha Plant, the chase is a glow-in-the-dark version. If the box does not say “glow” but the figure glows, it is a chase. The chase is rarer and more valuable.
