Edit: My local EB games had a display of Funko figurines that over the course of several years has come to encompass an entire wall.

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


I think being crushed under the combined weight of your amiibos and funkopops would be the most epically late capitalist way to go.

And of course, to put the fun back in breakfast, each box contains a collectible prize, making the boxes as much fun to collect as they are to eat! You’ll find a collectible figure inside every box of FunkO’s, so you’re going to want two boxes – one to taste, and one to display on your shelf with your Pop! collection.

Those Funkopops with the cereal look small enough to be a choking hazard, does that count

Also I wonder how that cereal falls under the terms of this contract, do you subtract the value of the food or

I'm playing the KH series and whatever else comes out along the way. Finished 1, CoM, 2 and I'm now on BBS. I also noticed that every single game seems to have Olympus world and Ursula is somehow in every game. With this information I have deduced that Ursula and the entire Olympus Coliseum will fuse into Olympula in 3 and it's what the games have been building up to so far. The abomination will be the final boss and that's the surprise twist.
