9 of the Best "Weird Al" Yankovic Collectibles
By Elaine Selna
Fans of "Weird Al" Yankovic have no doubt listened to all his albums, watched his live shows, and can probably recite a handful of classic lines from UHF (for better or worse). But there's also a world of "Weird Al" collectibles out there, from Chia Pets to action figures, that any self-professed Al aficionado (alficionado?) should be familiar with. Here are nine of our favorites.
1. "Weird Al" Yankovic Funko Pop!; $29
This Funko Pop! of "Weird Al" is a picture-perfect vinyl recreation of the star's 1980s look, right down to his aviator glasses and signature mustache.
