  i never had any visceral disgust at the funko style (albeit for a lot of shows/characters it was a bad fit). it was entirely the funko economy that was annoying. the walls of them dominating any comic con, the lines outside of hot topic at 8:30 in the morning.  glad that shit is gone.

  Also, yeah, that's the thing. Collecting for fun is awesome. Collecting to try to make it a business is gross.

  The way a lot of people feel about Funko pops’ appearance / aesthetic is how I have always felt about Youtooz with their closed eyes and big smiles.

  I worked for Funko for a little over a year. They closed all their local warehouses and moved down to Arizona. I turned down the offer to transfer, I'm glad I did. Their stock started to decline and they had layoffs almost immediately.

  I think funkos were ment for kids originally or college students but slowly became more expensive to the point where they cost more than some apple products while looking basic as hell

  Every time I look at them I remember 2 things: 1) Millions in unsold plastic dumped into a landfill and 2) that awful game filled with boomer IPs but toddler level gameplay

  I have never felt more validated. Funko&apos;s are just not it for me.
