all of your best comic book movies, video games, star wars, etc can be consumed and placed directly on your shelf so that your nephews can look at them

As a white man who looks like this, I both agree and take offense.

The planogram for the Funko Pop section at my store is an absolute nightmare, and they also send us 2 or 3 times more than we actually sell, loving up my stockroom. I will celebrate the day the fad ends and the company goes under.

What do Funko pops actually do???

I don't get it. Do they play music? Talk? Plug into your videogame like those Amiibo things (they are different things, right)? Roll forward if you pull them back? Have Kung Fu grip and spring-loaded blasters? Hula dance or head-bob if you shake them???

Do they even count as toys that some adults collect but kids can play with, or do you just collect them and... that's it?

You know how sometimes you walk into someone's house and you see a whole bookshelf of plush toys or crystals? It lets you know that they are mentally ill and not good with money, it's a very effective flag for the world to see just like ownership of multitude of cats

At least with a plush toy you can hug it or whatever. These things are supposed to only be looked at, but they are no good for that purpose because they are ugly as hell.

Who could forget the Princess Diana Funko Pop with the unfortunately named “Chase” limited edition.



Edit: forgot to tell this story. I know a guy who got fired from the video game store when this came in because he took a photo of it getting run over by a James Bond car and posted it on their social media. He is a dipshit

do the heads come off particularly easy or are they prone to breaking into sharp shards of plastic under pressure if squeezed hard?
Not REAL hard just imagine the pressure of, say, an overly-comfortable...hand shake, let's call it, about. Around there. Give or take, my friend says. But about that. Would that cause the head to deform or become damaged in anyway that would become damaging to human tissue or anything or if, like, lol, tugged on just "come off" wherever it was?
I mean just how well are these made I guess just in general I mean?

I've never understood the appeal. They are the ugliest figurines ever. I feel like the people that buy these are the same people that call their dogs "furbabies" and build their entire identity around Star Wars and/or Marvel movies.
