    Real serious nerd rant here, but who collects those things? They look like cheap, mass produced crap. Nendoroids and Popup Parade are so much better.

    I often wonder what people like this would be like if they had access to the internet and an endless feed of cat memes.

    Like would Hitler have invaded Poland if he could have just put his paintings on insta or tumblr?

    I want to see people splitting up their Funko pop collection during a divorce like that pathetic couple back then with their Beanie babies.

      What, these things are also supposed to be valuable? I’ve always found them such an eye sore

      They are plastic figures from popular IPs like video games and movies. They look like chibi anime characters. I’ve collected four as gifts from random friends who knew I liked a particular game or show. I have a Goku & Vegeta one gifted to me by my wife and my coworker got me a “sole survivor” & “ghoul” one from Fallout 4.

      They offer nothing outside of being kind of interesting to put on a shelf, if you’re into that stuff I guess.

    Anything made for the main purpose of collecting is rubbish. Anything collectors touch become utter rubbish, let alone if it was made for them in the first place. Of course, you knows what type of collectors i mean.
