My mate who works at the video game store just got a bunch of these in stock.

I’m not really sure who the target market for this is as I’d imagine she will have been long dead by the time the average pop vinyl collector will have been born.

I try my best to maintain a "to each their own" attitude with these sorts of things, but Funko pops really test my resolve.

I always wonder how these things get out to the internet, like who would actually think this is funny to share and not absolutely pathetic. Then I remember no one has any shame anymore and I understand.

Not much fun
I guess funko is branching out from the pathetic nerd crowd to the ex-beanie baby collector demographic. It makes sense. Cheaper than those porcelain figurines and you can kid yourself that these things will go up in value.

If I learned one thing from those Pawn Stars type shows it’s that anything ‘collectible’ will be worth nothing in the future.

The royal set was done before Harry was engaged. I remember seeing it in stores early last year.

As for the balding thing, I guess it’s “artistic license”.
