The Collector

The Collector Pop! figure was released as part of the Funko Pop! Marvel line, specifically within the second wave of figures tied to the 2014 Marvel Studios film Guardians of the Galaxy. It depicts Taneleer Tivan, the eccentric keeper of the museum of artifacts, as portrayed by Benicio del Toro. The design captures the character's distinct aesthetic from the film, featuring his stylized white hair, ornate high-collared attire, and the signature intense expression required for his role in the cinematic universe.

Funko’s design team developed this figure to expand the breadth of the Guardians of the Galaxy collection beyond the core team members. By choosing secondary characters like The Collector, the company sought to cater to collectors interested in completing the full ensemble of the film’s cast. Like many figures in the mid-2010s Marvel series, it utilized the standardized aesthetic that balanced Funko’s minimalist house style with the recognizable features of the onscreen actor, ultimately becoming a staple for fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe expansions.
