Funko Pop Enthusiasts (Beanie Babies 2.0) - Exceptional individuals who pride themselves on the amount of plastic they have accumulated

[Lovertits]

Funkos are like a bad rash that keeps coming back and getting worse. I dont really get the appeal of these badly made, ugly af chunks of plastic.
Having said that though, there are some ugly ones that are fun to laugh at. for example, Dory here:

I have no mouth, and I must scream.

They are kinda cute, but holy shit balls, you don't need entire bookcases of these things! You'd think people would've learned with the whole Beanie Baby thing. Apparently not.

Funk Pops, the best way to tell you have a perpetually offended nerd sperg in your area.

So why would someone buy more than one of these. They look pretty much exactly the same. If they looked the same but good that would be one thing but this seems garbage.
And these are popular?


Have they done a coop with youtubers yet btw? I expect to see "pewdiepie funko pop" any day now.



...Never mind

I've only ever been interested in one of these ugly little things and that's the Lucio one from Overwatch (for lack of better figures) they're a plague in every UK GAME store.

I don't get the appeal. Nendoroids are so much cuter.

There are a lot of things like this that people are collecting these days, tsum tsums are another worthless collectable people go nuts for

They're ok I guess but they won't be worth much in the future I'm sure

The only available official merch of my favorite series is just funko pops

I looked up Funko figurines and the first result was for Rick & Morty toys.

That should tell you all you need to know about the fandoms of each property.

The moment I realized Funkos weren't cool was the time I saw an Autistic hambeast buy about 40 at Hot Topic. Haven't collected any myself and I'm so glad I didn't buy any. It's about time we had this thread.

I only own one. Didn't even realize it was a Funko at the time.

It's baby Groot in a pot in case you're wondering. At least he's smiling.

Bleach ( :autism: ) and Gravity Falls (double :autism: )

The expressionless Funkos look like they're soulless husks for Aliens to wear as disguises.
No worries, man I doubt you're exceptional like the example troons in OP. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I will never understand the appeal, they look nothing like the characters they're supposed to be, are butt fucking ugly, and creepy. It's like someone saw an anime doll in the super deformed chibi style and decided to make it as bad as humanly possible. At least I can understand the appeal of the chibi anime dolls since they still look like the character, even if I wouldn't want one myself.

I always find these things at my local Barnes & Noble stores, don’t know what these toys and books have in common.

At my Barnes & Noble they're starting to force out all of the other non-book/media items except maybe puzzles. There are so many of them now that they've started putting them in with the movies and TV shows halfway across the store.

Man, at least Beanie Babies were unanimously considered cute (and still are).

Decided to look up “Funko Pop cringe” and ended up finding a forum group for talking about these toys and their cringe stories here, (not sure if this is relevant or not): https://www.funkofunatic.com/viewtopic.php?t=59470
