goons are really weird about getting like this over everything.

funko pops are not something that needs "defending" or being on one side or the other over, and its not something that there has to be a single Correct Opinion about. its not a political or cultural matter. it's not like being for or against Donald Trump. you can own and like funko pops. it's just that if you do, the rest of us, who have taste, are going to point out that they are actually bad.

SA was wrong about furries being accepted by relative main stream society, it'll be wrong about Funko Pops too and you'll be the victor once again 'Fur'ia.

I didn't quote him but I was responding to Sleeveless.

7 years old, stupid child: haha you play with dolls that's gay
37 years old, smart man: I get panic attacks looking at Funko Pops because the idea of people perceiving the world differently than I do threatens me

I was curious so I looked through his rap sheet. You should do the same and come back and tell me he came into this thread with good and reasonable intentions.

again, "good and reasonable intentions", like the concept applies. we're not debating whether to bomb Syria here or discussing how healthcare should work. we're dunking on ugly collectible dolls. or we should be

Testing out my new comedy character, the 40 year-old man who makes fun of people for playing with dolls.

I would legit think these things were less pathetic if people were playing with them in dollhouses or having tea parties or something instead of just stacking them on a shelf, boxed or unboxed

If that didn't have the name I would never guess that was Rigby. So somehow that is the worst Pop. Usually I can tell what the gently caress it is at least.

That's the "fun" part, guessing what the hell character it is. Hard mode is TV dramas since it's 100 versions of "man in suit"

Don't. That guy wanted to derail and start a shitstorm and it seems like he has actually done it. I'm not discussing this anymore.

Anyway lets get back to Funko Pop! Not even Charles Dance or Kurt Cobain can make these things cool:

Yeah it's not a big loving deal. We all do poo poo that deserves to be mocked, at least a little bit, and if your Funko Pops are the one thing you truly cannot abide people goofing on then you deserve to be goofed on even further.

I love Warhammer 40k and that's totally lame, I'm not going to lose my poo poo when someone points that out.

I can kiiinda understand the impulse to have a bunch of figurines of pop-culture characters, but I absolutely do not get wanting them to all look exactly the same, and super loving ugly at that.

Do collectors buy two so they can have one they open and one they leave boxed? I did that with polybagged comics in the 90s sometimes. It turned out to not be the wise investment I thought at the time.

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
A new game show called Funko BOPS!

Contestants are shown incredibly generic Funko pops from random sitcoms and Netflix shows no one watches. They are forced to guess what property the identical looking Funkos come from. Each time they get a wrong answer, they are slugged in the head by a trained MMA fighter. Each correct answer gets them an extra 10 bucks on their monthly Funko allowance.

I mean, who COULDN'T immediately tell you who this beloved pop culture figure is?

The Nazis were absolutely obsessed with porcelain figurines, and even dedicated slave labor from camps to the production of porcelain.

Imagine you enter a failed artists house. He has walls of figures on display, he likes dogs more than people and won't shut up about his political views. He is unhealthily nostalgic for the times of his youth and loves cartoons.

Are you in Hitlers house or your average Funko Pop collectors house? It is impossible to tell.

C-SPAMMER's house, which plays nicely into the idea that neomarxists are just nazis painted red, and there is no difference between the right and left.

They found three pieces of Disney fan art that Hitler drew and it turned out he traced them from a book. That's exactly the dude I expect to be into Funko Pops.
