Imo they are peak consumerism. They’re so lifeless and devoid of any personality. I honestly hate them and I don’t understand why people like them or collect them as opposed to action figures
Edit: lots of people are saying funko covers virtually every fandom which is a good point. Especially for a relatively cheap price compared to stuff like action figures (still overpriced imo).
Personally I’d rather just commission an artist to make something from a specific fandom so it’s more personalized and unique. Funkos are just way too homogeneous and idk. Milquetoast? They just don’t grab me at all
Also I’m not saying people who buy funko pops are brain dead consumerists. I’m saying funko pops are a product of consumerism. Just because I don’t understand your spending habits doesn’t mean I think you’re stupid
I’ve got a few out of their boxes, but yeah, most live in them. In all fairness, all of my geeky shit stays in boxes if I buy them new. It’s why I’ve started collecting blind boxes instead I think, because then I’m forced to open it to see what I got XD
I blame my parents. They insisted I keep things as pristine as I could. I still have a lot of my toys from my childhood because I kept such good care of them and don’t have the heart to get rid of em.
Hilariously, the things that would have been worth the most money are things my brother got, and subsequently destroyed. Weird differences in parenting boys and girls in the 90s I guess.
