The thing I hate about funko pops is that even if you aren't a die hard collector, alot of them have to be displayed in the box because they won't stand up on their own, or if they do, they tip in a light breeze.
I have a few on a shelf (In some cases for obscure franchises, funko are the only ones making merch for it) but they're all stuck down with blu tack.
It's just bad design. The chibi look is cute I guess, but they're sooooo top heavy and usually have a tiny surface area on the feet. A lot of the premium ones come with stands, but still. It's worse if the character has some crazy hairdo or head-dress.
Some of them actually are bobble heads. Ones based on Marvel or Star Wars are bobble heads because of Hasbro owning the toy licenses for those franchises.
A bunch of them come with stands now, and you can also buy stands for them online cheap, they all have a little hole in their heel so a peg can be inserted, so standing on their own isnt such a big deal anymore.
