I don't understand the appeal, either.

A friend gifted my us a Brienne of Tarth and a Night King. I don't care about them at all but I feel bad getting rid of them because they were a gift.

I did willingly and intentionally purchase the PJ set. But that was more about band fandom than Funko Pop enjoyment. I love that set and I consider it the only Funko anything I do or will ever have.

I kind of want to offer a workshop on how to get over this stuff. If a gift I reserve holds no utilitarian value nor does it offer deep emotional connection, it goes straight into the trash or donate pile. I’m relentless with this stuff.

Getting rid of stuff feels great, but sometimes you miscalculate. About 10 years ago I took around 90% of the CDs I had accumulated over my lifetime and sold them off. Now I really wish I had kept them

Joey , take a picture or video of you and your wife playing with the Funkos and then throw them out. You will then have your keepsake without the bulk

True. Start with hunks of useless plastic when beginning a liquidation

I can't remember ever regretting getting rid of anything. Getting rid of things is good work, pleasing to god

Normally, I tend toward being the same way. But there's extenuating circumstances.
