Really looking forward to seeing huge piles of funkopops being unloaded for cents-per-pound because it turns out the kids they left these "collectibles" to see no value in them whatsoever. Commemorative plates for nerds, they are.

Commemerative plates can still be eaten off of, and depending on the celebrities face on them, for making crude jokes about their demise.

"*I made the mistake of asking Awesome why she was marrying Douche. (In my defense we were both drunk, and in my drunken state I thought that was an ok thing to ask. It wasn't.) Her response was:"Because he's going to make a lot of money." She then went on and said how she can't do any better. Which is really unsettling because a. she is banking on Douche becoming rich and b. She didn't mention anything about loving him."

Having a cat is pretty much exactly like having a bad boyfriend.

- Doesn't pay rent
- Sits on the couch all day
- Largely ignores you
- Expects you to provide him with food
- Occasionally gives you small crumbs of affection which make you immediately forget all the bad stuff

Comes in late at night, thumps around the house, then comes to bed all cold and damp and yuck and still expects some lovin’....

I know someone who did this. He ended up getting arrested for embezzlement after being given an opportunity to avoid all charges, never told his wife, and left her completely blindsided when he went to jail for half a decade and her with three kids, no money, and no job experience.

That is a best case scenario.

The difference between “collectors item” and “collectible” is completely lost on them so how boxes work or that cubes fit into larger cube seems too advanced.

If you say it’s a collectible it is. That way plenty of people keep them mint in box, protecting its value!!

I went to garage sale that had an RB5X robot that was covered in grime and dirt and very clearly just left outside for long periods of time, it is a genuine historical artifact and it was treated like trash.

The Star Trek commemorative plates were still in the box, even the protective styrofoam still intact.

Lol if you don’t think the vast majority of that poo poo is going straight to the landfill. My only exposure to funkopop (autocorrect: funk poop) are the people in this thread destroying their relationships over plastic garbage, and I have more respect for the disowned junkie than any of them. That motherfucker is getting high at least.

The thing I don't really get about funko pops is they're so bland, ugly, and cheap looking. Like a blown up version of something you could get in one of those capsule gumball machines.

Collecting knickknacks of your favorite movie/show/game is w/e, it's not something I really do but I can see the appeal, but why not get something more interesting than a bobblehead that doesn't bobble.

I've [23F] with my boyfriend [24 M] for almost 10 years and his obsession worries me.

quote:

submitted 1 year ago by vinylfunkopops

I've been with my boyfriend for almost 10 years. As high school sweethearts that pushed through years of LDR (out of state college), I would think that we have a very strong relationship and are at the point of thinking about marriage. We both have decent jobs and I've recently moved in to his state to live with him (thank god I got the job!)

He has always liked Japanese cartoons (anime) and read/watched them ever since I've known him. Around the middle of last year (2015), he start buying the figurines and merchandise... and they're pretty costly. At first I didn't think too much of it because they were popular characters and occasionally I would recognize one. Once he started buying more and more, the figurines became younger and more risque. There were a few that I thought were illegal since the character looks so young!

I've talked to him about his obsession with the characters (females) and even tried to stop him from getting anymore. It's at the point I feel that the Japanese figurines are almost as important as me, if not even equal. He said he would stop but for the few weeks that he did, he became majorly depressed, sulked around and I just broke my heart to see him like that. Well, me being me... I just told him to do whatever as long as I don't see them (which is fairly difficult since I live with him).

I even tried to start a collection of my own to see if that would make me understand the joys of collecting something; I started buying Funko Pop!, very cute but I can't justify having so many now.

I feel like I'm being edged out of his attention span by these characters and they worry me because of their age. It's at a point that I'm scared to have kids, especially a daughter... but there's nothing illegal about what he likes and there's a huge community for it. I know he loves me very much but all of this scares me.

Even with all of this, our relationship has been stronger than ever but there's just this that is my only doubt.

Would this be because of me? I'm I not putting out enough? I worry that I'm the one not understanding something because I just get upset and angry with all of this. I've heard people say break up, but that's just out of the question for me. Is there something I can do or understand?

tl;dr: My boyfriend and maybe even future fiancee has a Japanese figurine obsession (underage females) and it scares me because he's so obsessed with them. Breaking up is not even an option for me but is there something I can do to understand?

I was out at an open house and the only decorative items through the entire home were dozens of statuary of various alcohol brand mascots such as a 4 foot tall Beefeater man statue in the foyer. By the time I was done touring the house I thought it best to take a walk around the block before driving my car.

The best part is when she told him to stop, and he did, then when he sulked and moped like a scolded puppy she told him to go back to it.

No, the best part is her saying she doesn’t trust him around kids and somehow still needing to ask if she should break up with him.
