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. They make them for pretty much every dumb nerd media property and they're cheap enough to be an impulse purchase, so you can get something signifying your obscure ~favorite character~ even if the resemblance is very slight. At least that's what I assume the appeal is. It may be psycho hoarders buying up every single one

My father was saved by a Kathy Lee suicide net installed to keep him alive long enough to produce me, a humble Fuko Pop maker.

Ah, I see you've been introduced already. Good. That will make this process far less painful.

Nocheez posted:Did you even see the Dory posted above? it looks like an electric pencil sharpener. ...I mean a pencil sharpener which operates via electricity not a sharpener FOR an electric pencil - I'm not sure there even IS such a thing as an electric pencil nor why such a thing would need sharpening if it did exist. One would imagine that if a pencil were electric in and of itself it would have the means to sharpen itself, or lacking that, be used in a way in which no sharpening would be needed. Furthermore...

I once had a roommate who was absolutely baffled as to why I would waste money on fast food when cooking at home was so much cheaper. Wouldn't be so weird if she didn't eat ramen and frozen fish sticks to increase her ever expanding collection of Funko Pops and Transformers. I've yet to see anyone with any semblance of mental health or a personality collect them.

Imagine having a Funko room in your house. Just walls of carefully placed boxes. This product is a hackneyed art piece.

I was talking with my friend about the Mr Poopy Butthole breaking and his response was that he would replace it with a Bird Person next time we see each other  I guess the bright side is that I have a nice friend, but I don't want more ugly plastic junk...

Goddamn, lol" or somesuch. And then when I quoted it, I saw the name of the smilie at the end of it, and took the ":"'s off of it and it made it even better, so now just the quote itself is still funny and you can fill in whatever joke you wanted me to make for the rest of it. Thanks.

I was hoping the quarantine would force these "nik nak" collectors to stop and stare into the lifeless eyes of their funkos pops and reflect on their own soulless materialism in silence. Unfortunately, I have a feeling they will walk away wanting more trash to fill their void rather than less.

I don't know if I could endure 5 minutes under the gruelling yet vacant stare of only one of those pop culture cadavers, let alone a wall of them. gently caress, I'd jump out a window.

tbh anyone with a large collection of anything always strikes me as vaguely weird and looking at the collection, even if its something cool like sports cars, always makes me feel unsettled. There's something about the act of compulsively amassing piles of stuff that strikes me as a manifestation of some degree of mental illness, especially in the case of collectibles when there's not even the possibility of using for some practical or social end like I'm imagining if i walked into someone's house on a date or something and there was just a wall with $2000 of funkopops covering it from floor to ceiling. I think the smile would instantly fall off my face and I'd start backpeddling while mumbling some kind of vague comment like "oh wow. . . you really like funkopops," while trying and failing to curl my lips back into a fake smile before changing the subject to literally anything else

Watch out people! The edgelords are here to defend funko pop owners. I'm not saying I haven't spent money on stupid things - newly released video games that turned out to be dissapointing - but at least I got some sort of stimulation out of them and know now from experience to wait six months before buying. Seriously though, you drop ~$2000 dollars on a collectors edition of an ugly gaudy thing that just sits on your shelf? I can't quite put it in words but I think I found an appropriate image:

Valko posted:The edgelords You ever consider that someone disagreeing with you can do so from a rational and informed position and is not, in fact, neither defending the waste of money on toys nor would such defence be based on a personal failing or a desire to get a reaction out of you?
