Twitter 9/15 - CWC Funko Pops

I think this is a better representation of Chris as a Funko. Just cut back he fangs, give it long, balding, greasy locks, and dye the suit and cape with stripes.

I don't even want to know how he got rid of the nose. He doesn't have a handheld dremel and I don't even think he knows how to file the vinyl down. I can just imagine him taking a box cutter to it like a maniac and somehow not slicing his fingers off.

Reminds me of how he was using his pocket knife to Frankenstein his Amiibos together a few years ago. He eventually cut his finger doing that, and then rejected advice to try using a file instead.

I wonder what would happen if he started doing PVC Resin model kits?

That's exactly what I was remembering. Except for the bit about a pocket knife. I thought he was at least using a box cutter. A fucking pocket knife, it's like he makes it an active effort to use the worst tools imaginable for a job. I don't know why he doesn't just go to the back of his house and collect some rocks and sticks to use instead.

Even after watching the Financhu Crisis unfold, it amazes me that, while Chris is constantly on the brink of financial ruin, he still thinks it's fine to spend hours crafting toys to look like himself. That time could've been spent on going down to the Virginia DARS office and inquiring about jobs. Instead he'll keep trying to live out his childhood even as he's nearing 40.

I do agree its hilarious how much time and effort he spends not only making the funko... but designing the box. So much effort for such a tiny possible profit. The reason Funko Pops are styled the way they are is cuz when you distort head size and body the way they do, is so you don't have to put to much detail into the character other than make it recognizable. It's why they can create literally thousands of different funko pops ad naseum for an nerd franchise. Chris somehow misses out on the simplicity of the piece... while simultaneously putting effort into it. And the strangest thing of all? The bar for getting a funko pops made is ridiculously low... even as a minor internet celebrity, chris could probably get his own line of funko pops made by them, and they'd sell enough for it to be worth it. I mean he's proved it with his own butchered art... and at least this way he'd have a passive income stream.

Not even Pewdie has a pop, and he's one of the most famous E-celebs around. What complicates this even further is that Chris has never monetized his junk on a large scale. Sure, people will buy a small amount of junk from Chris from time to time but will they buy a larger amount from someone who isn't Chris? Ultimaely, it's up to Funko. If they haven't approached a large amount of e-celebs, I seriously doubt the screeches of a manchild would sway their sensibilities.

lol no

Everyone on this site knows who Chris is, but we don't really overlap with the audience for Funko Pops. And to most of the rest of the Internet Chris is just an ancient meme on par with Boxxy. Actually, Funko would have more luck with designing a Boxxy pop figure because it wouldn't simultaneously infringe on twelve different copyrights.

That's true. I'm always amazed at how Chris can skirt the edges of the legal system when it comes to his OC.

Wait, did you make that or did you find it on Chris's social media? I literally cannot tell the difference.

Lol, I was trying to copy his style as closely as possible while using a more realistic model as a base. I might make a semi-competent one later with the same model, but don't really feel like it right now.
