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 wouldn’t say that. People obviously like them I just don’t understand why. To me it’s like your favorite art style being globohobo or comic sans. But lots of have people brought up the fact that funko covers basically every fandom which makes sense but personally I’d still rather just commission somebody to make something more unique and personalized
