Trivia[]
- In 2014, Funko announced two exclusives: one including Plankton as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles villain Shredder and SpongeBob as Leonardo, and one that is a golden version of the SpongeBob Pop Vinyl. These collectibles have been available at many major retailers.
- The first wave of Funko Pop Vinyls are considered rare nowadays and go for high amounts of money online.
- Most Pop Vinyls do not have mouths; these on the other hand, do have mouths to fit the style of the characters in the series more.

- The "Sweet Victory" SpongeBob figure originally had its eyes closed.[citation needed]
- At the end of "Swamp Mates" there is a Funko-like SpongeBob figure that appears to be the original SpongeBob pop vinyl from 2012 however slightly edited to look different, much like the merchandise seen previously in "The Sponge Who Could Fly."
