thing is about funko pops is that they're specifically set to be as cheap as possible to make and to buy, the smallest necessary variations on a literal mould, and the RRP is below most people's threshold for not even thinking about each individual purchase. (Sure, some are fancier than others, but they're loss leaders) So you can grab any one that looks neat and/or completes your set without thinking about it

I wonder if this was something that took over the space over time, replacing other mass produced nerd tat, or if the old nerd tat was moved temporarily so that the photographer could create a shrine to their poor purchasing decisions. I'm leaning towards the latter if only because there are a few dozen pet toys in the bins to the right of the shelves that aren't currently scattered around the room. Is there some sort of home organization, hoarders show where they go into these nerd houses and help people deal with their obsessive need to buy and display toys?

One year my family figured since I'm into nerd poo poo that they would get me Funko pops. Thanks to them I have three in my place, sitting there doing nothing but stare at me with their lifeless, beady eyes. I don't get what the appeal is either but since they were gifts it's polite to make sure they're seen if family visits. At least they got the characters/franchises I'm into right. I have no desire to get any more on my own but do I avoid giving them food after midnight and keep them from getting wet? I don't understand how people get mega collections like that.

If you pointed to a random one of Funkodad's collection, and ask him who that is, I'd bet he couldn't name half of them. This applies to the family photo on the bottom shelf as well

At least they’re easy to resell if you get them as a gift but I doubt most people would make the effort for a few bucks

I'm the reduction of a potentially recognizable and even interesting character to a simple dead-eyed ovoid thing designed solely to be a disposable consumer item communicating "I Have Consumed, Because I Like/Remember Thing."

Even if the product is fake I could easily see it being real. It would not be out of place in a Spirit Halloween shop.
