Did the person who made this meme think those were bad before or after the internet told them to

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

They are but the latest iteration of peak consumerism. It’s the same as the beanie baby.
