Okay Funko, you broke me.

worst take I've ever seen on this site, and that's saying something.
There are Daft Punk action figures, but they're long sold out and insanely expensive now.
Also ugly af.
For real, I can never understand why people buy Funko Pops. They just look fucking bad.
Ah, a typical Funko thread where people rush to show how much they hate them and how cool they are because they buy another brand instead.
I have about 9, bought some for the wife and a few were gifts and they are pretty cool. Only reason we don't have more is because it starts to make things look cluttered and we have enough stuff as it is.

Funko Pops are hideous, but George is close enough to being a Funko Pop for that one to be on-model, so I guess it's a "broken clock" situation.
Funko's are fine, they're low cost which cuts out a HUGE barrier of entry to fandoms, and also they're great for children with no moving parts.
If you're just getting into a show/fandom, would you rather spend $100+ on a potentially out of print nendo? or $15 on a funko? Sure the nendo looks way better, but it's an investment early in your entry to the fandom, what if you don't like it after a few more episodes, or the fanbase is garbage?

This. Not just in regards to Nendoroids, but to merch in general. I have a pretty great SH FigurArt Green Ranger figure... But I got lucky to find it in Brazil at a very reasonable price at the time. The Black Ranger one was, on the other hand, impossible for me to buy, but the Funko Pop at Target was 9 bucks. Sure, it's a completely different figure, but (for me, at least) it was better than nothing.
Not to mention other characters that rarely get any sort of merch, like the Swamp Thing, Cosmo the Space Dog, etc.
This is a weird take in a video game forum.
Exactly! I have so many fantastic figures that I got at great prices by being in the right place at the right time. And they're sitting on my shelf beside funkos that if I wanted a better figure of them, I'd be spending hundreds of dollars.
They serve the exact same purpose on that shelf.
Funkos vs. more detailed figures are just an extension of Console vs. PC, where one person just wants their out of the box toy that works fine but nooooo you're ruining everything by not spending money and building a PC you noooooob it's actually really cheap if you know what you're doing and look up the specs and find the paaaaaaarts
The people buying Funkos are people who won't buy anything else, they don't really care that much about build quality or painting or whatever and just want a cute little figure of their favourite show from 1993, and if you're the kind of person who gets elitist over what plastic shit people are buying, you might be a fucking dork.
My bad taste is being cushioned by about $50 to $70 Canadian per figure!
They're collectibles that are cheap and easy enough for fandoms to buy merch of their favourite media when they aren't huge turbo nerds who think spending over $60 on a toy is an okay thing to do.

I haven't had any junky little video game boxes in my home for nearly a decade.
I mean, a video game forum is definitely a place where you'll find tons of collectors and fans that love merch related to their favorite things. "It's just plastic junk" is a weird thing to say here.
I hope this is really successful. I'd love to see Community, Parks and Rec, or The Office get sets like this.
I imagine a big stumbling block would be a lot of the best selling lines likely don't have a singular iconic set? Like for SW you could do Jabba's throne room, the Cantina, or the Endor planning room maybe?
Kinda want a WandaVision one where each set peice is from a different era and you combine them all together like a sitcom rainbow.
Actually, Star Trek bridges is a super obvious choice and I'm kinda surprised they didn't start with it.

The room is neat and the figures are superior simply by being from the Mini line.
Mini Funkos look so much better than normal ones. First time I saw them was with Steven Universe, at first I didn't even realize they were made by the same company.

I can't imagine how you'd separate it into individual pieces but the Greendale study room would be amazing.

Wow, you're right. I wouldn't have thought those first figures were funko. Also the first time I've seen a funko product I would consider getting.
Fully grown adults purchase these things and display them in their houses...
bet yall have got collectors edition videogame character figures hanging out too.

Funko makes a whole bunch of different lines of products, the "Pop!" are just their most popular series. Assuming Funko begins and ends with Pop is like assuming that Mattel only makes Barbie dolls.
I love their Hikari line, which I believe is largely out of production. It's got a real 50s/60s flair to it.
I love Death Stranding, and I'd like to have a little figure of Sam Porter Bridges.
When the options for a figure are a $10 Funko Pop, two Nendoroid variations at roughly $60 and $90, and a $120 Figma, I'll probably take that $10 figure.
The only Funko Pop the people need:
Funko Television: El Chavo - El Chavo, Figures - Amazon Canada
Funko Television: El Chavo - El Chavo in Figures.

I was replying to someone I agreed with. It's a discussion forum.
Sure but for both you and Napk1ns... If you don't like it, why did you even enter the post? Like, saying nothing is free.
I'm thinking they split the table in the center up by seat, so each character comes with their square of the table and a slice of the floor and back wall. Then the seat not for the Greendale Seven would probably be the Dean? Plus a ventilation duct for Chang (or an exterior panel for him to look in on like the diorama from the show!).
I don't really care about Seinfeld, but the way you can combine the sets to make the apartment is cool.
Eh, if I walked into a store and the entire Mattel section was only Barbie with no other sections that would be the equivalent I guess, and I would make that assumption there as well. For better or worse the Pop line is what defines Funko. Good for the (many) people that like them.
If only I had a house and yeah I do :( It's not like anyone will ever see them, except for the chimney sweeper or the pizza guy.
Says guy on a video game forum.
Why do people make posts like these?
Some people really do think their shit don't stink and love to look down on others.
Usually these are the same people who are so insecure about what others think that they won't buy or hide a console because they are scared their friends will take the piss out of them.

Pretty funny reading this, seeing your tag, and doing a quick Google search of your name and seeing some of the embarrassing things you've written for Medium.
Dude that was in a nerdy ass event on a nerdy ass forum to get a nerdy ass Avengers tag, over here making fun of other nerds.
I rarely buy Pops anymore simply to save money but I definitely had to grab this at Target a few weeks ago.
That's just adorable.
Man, some of you are straight up embarrassing.
It's like you hate the fact that you yourself are a nerd so you need to pretend that you're better than other nerds.

I have the cowboy one and tried to link it but couldn't get the pic to work!
I love how they basically are making McNugget Buddies of characters from the classic commercials.
Yeah, I've slowed down a lot as well, but I definitely had to fight off bots to get the Funko Shop exclusive SelenaI rarely buy Pops anymore simply to save money but I definitely had to grab this at Target a few weeks ago.

the Soda line has actually been pretty good too:
