I have a few that I got as gifts for whatever reason. My wife was into them for a while but sold most of the rare ones for like a $1000 profit which was a big lol.

Honestly if funko pops are the biggest concern in your marriage, you’re probably doing pretty good, although I have no idea how much they cost or if $120-$150 a month would buy a reasonable number of pops. On the other hand, the weird post about the guy that stared at funko pops as he lost his virginity is probably a good reason to not own any.

Hmmm, I think I’ll start a collection of identical hunks of plastic in different Colours. These are 10 cents of plastic for 30 bucks! The value must be skyrocketing!!

I had one Funko Pop my mom got me: it was Charlie Brown as a vampire for Halloween, and she bought it because she thought it was cute (and it was on deep clearance after Halloween). I thrifted it in December with a bunch of other stuff.

Get on eBay and filter for sold auctions, then take a look at the highest amounts It’s unreal. I’ve never given these things more than a passing glance

I have several in my classroom. I teach a class on robotics, so I have collected quite a few robots of various manufacture over the years. (most were gifts.) They are displayed on a shelf at the front of the room, next to some real robots we use in class. Horror of horrors! All of my robots are OUT OF THE PACKAGING AND JUST SITTING THERE ON THE SHELF, GETTING ALL DUSTY AND DROPPING IN VALUE SECOND BY SECOND!!!!! (There's also an Egon Spengler Funko up there. It was a gift from one of my coworkers, because I'm considered kind of an Egon personality. This started because long time ago there was another science teacher who worked here who I hung out with. The staff referred to us as "Ray and Egon". This tradition was started by his wife, who also taught at this school.)

I don't think I own any? I might've gotten one years ago as a Christmas present or some poo poo, I don't think I have any though. Certainly haven't bought any, they generally look hideous. Except the Grogu (Baby Yoda) from Mandalorian, that Funky Pop is basically on-character design. If I bought one it'd probably be that, but I haven't.

Funko’s business model is super predatory to retailers too. The figures that actually sell to offset the case prices are so rare that smaller mom and pop shops end up drowning in a million unsold fuckin’ basic figures that Target and Walmart can blow out for cheap as poo poo and they have to keep ordering cases and lines they have no customer base for to keep Funko happy otherwise they get cut off. Also they just fired their like most senior designer because he dared put his name on a petition to get the staff designers better pay and Funko slash his job along with the other 10% because of “uncertain times”.

I have a bunch of them, one person got me one as a gift and it snowballed as other people thought " he likes these things, lets get him more" I know the goon response should be to violently throw it back in their face in disgust and  but instead I just say "thank you" and put them on the shelfAgent Escalus posted:How very interesting that you ask that exact question - and, for that matter, that this thread was made - on the day when it's been announced that this is actually what's happening? good old capitalism, can't just give them away can we, dumping them in landfill is the only solution
