Funko Pops make me want to die

Post by Jorge »

Do you have any Funko Pops?

Whenever I'm in the US I'm shocked at the sheer ubiquity of these fucking things. They sell them everywhere -- record stores, book stores, grocery stores, they're EVERYWHERE

Just saw this tweet and the company is apparently in trouble which is surprising to me

I like them and yes, i have a few. Just two I think and a bojack horseman doll but that’s no a funko I think.

But I do hate those huge collections most people have. They used to be a cool item but it’s gotten out of proportion.

I’m surprised they’ve maintained their popularity this long

I'm probably not qualified to judge on these. I'm not a collectables guy.

Also, no way the wife would let me display any more "dust collectors".

I have the Pearl Jam set and there’s a cool Eddie Van Halen one I want to get. Other than those I just see them as a rabbit hole to avoid.

I’ve only ever purchased the PJ set, which I regret, but I suppose I’ll sell it in 20 years to get a new set of golf clubs.

I've been gifted a Milhouse one and a Batman one. They're both hidden away in my closet, out of view
