Exactly. I prefer USEFUL figures, such as for my wargaming. Perchance not as LAMESTREAM as your CRAP-O pops, but infinitely more useful, and dare I say, adult? Alongside their infinitely more useful nature, they allow you to express your own artistic mastery.

For example, this miniature giant robot horse that has a laser coming out of its rear end



Now THAT is something useful, artistic, and a real conversation starter. Something you can proudly display in your home and show off a MEANINGFUL side of your persona.

Lmao at nerd whataboutism. Both things are lame, but funkos all looking the same makes them objectively one degree lamer.

BRB, gonna buy 100 palette swaps of the same painting to decorate my walls.

My usual actually serious answer is; they're dirt cheap below the impulse buy threshold for most people, and they're often the cheapest and most easily available merchandise for a lot of franchises. For things like Steven Universe, they're sometimes the only merchandise you can actually find, period. Since they'll take literally any license and pump out something cheaply. (The same company also makes higher-quality and more accurate figurines for certain franchises, like Cuphead, with different branding)

For some people they turn into basically pogs/pokemon to collect em all, for others they become beanie babies where they're dead-eyed certain they'll be a retirement nest egg. And some just buy them because everyone else is.

These threads always bring out the worst in GBS. People not getting why they are so popular and then other people coming in and sniping at them for making fun of something so trivial. I think a fun idea for a thread like this might be to find some nerdy pop-culture thing that hasn't been made into a funkopop.

Aha! Sealab 2021 has plenty of action figures but no funkopops! Score one for me!

I've never personally encountered an insufferable Funko Pop collector in my life but I've never encountered a Warhammer guy who wasn't insufferable. Like a lot of things the internet is weirdly passionate about hating for an extended period of time it seems like it's mostly nerds who are insecure about their own weird fixations and hangups defensively lashing out a "normie" thing while telling on themselves. Watching tabletop gaming dudes smirk about the existence of funkos is like watching hardcore WoW addicts smirk about the idea of going out to a bar after work.

Without a doubt, someone, somewhere is putting a funkopop up their rear end right now. I've read stories about the things getting removed from peoples asses. I mean turnips? Really? I should note that what we here on the other side of the atlantic call turnips are better known as rutabagas.

We call rutabagas turnips or 'swedes'. I have never seen an actual turnip - the small round hard white and purple things - for sale anywhere.

I'm imagining this relationship and it's seriously bumming me out. Two sad nerds drifting through life living looking for little hits of nostalgia to make themselves feel something until finally the wife decides to try polyamory and the whole house of cards comes down

wasn't that the goon who had his kids taken away by child protective services because they were living in abject poverty? Or was it just from an ancient version of the r/relationships thread? I know I saw that image on SA years ago and was mortified. IT also was before r/relationships was entirely fake stories too

lol yeah it's totally the people mocking a thing on the forum dedicated to mocking things who are defensive, not the ones literally being defensive about fuckin' funkos of all things.
