It's so weird how there's a few series that haven't had any Pops at all. And I'm not talking about obscure IP or whatever, but big IP like Zelda and Ghibli.

JAKKS has the Nintendo license and Ghibli has always been iffy about giving it's licenses out.It's so weird how there's a few series that haven't had any Pops at all. And I'm not talking about obscure IP or whatever, but big IP like Zelda and Ghibli.
You can get this one for 50 when it's released
Or you can get the deluxe one for 80 dollars
Obviously not as cheap and impulse buy-e as Funkopop's
but it definitely looks worth it. LOL
Exactly. If funko can give me affordable figures of my stuff, then I'm here for itUnfortunately, for many franchises, they are the only collectible figurines available.
What the fuck
Given what we know about the environment, collecting plastic toys is immoral, doing so as an adult is pathetic.
When I was in Everett a month ago I had to go past the giant Funko building and there was a line to get in that wrapped around the entire building/block... during a pandemic...
Yo if you like Funkos that's cool but that line was disgusting.
As someone who collects toys myself and also hates Funko Pops, not really seeing how this statement tracks.This is just the toy collecting version of proudly announcing how all sports is just Sportsball to you.
YesI've never understood these - the design language is repugnant. The only ones that look reasonable are the ones that break out of that mold and actually resemble the characters somewhat.
They really are just beanie babies. I feel like they've managed to hang around longer because of the nerd culture licensingAt least with Nendoroids people generally seem to display them and enjoy them. With Funkos it's almost like collectors buy them just so they'll increase in value because it has an exclusive con sticker or some other nonsense.

Out of curiosity, what is that point you are trying to get across?My defense of the existence of Funkos is that they're perfect for office decor.
I'm not gonna bring my nice and expensive figures to my workplace, and that includes Nendoroids. Funkos are cheap and get the point across, so I have a few at my desk at work.
This is the only one I've ever been tempted to buy, but I'd be too scared to display it anywhere. lol

I've never understood keeping almost any collectible in the box. I have a big Ikea display thing for my Pops and amiibo.
Personally, I keep them in the box only if I have to tear the package to get the figure out. For example, if starting to collect some retro Spider-Man figures and NO WAY I'm going to rip that package, I just got this:
That's one of those new 6" Marvel Legends figures that they put in retro packaging, right?
I'd love to collect the Legends figures. They just get so expensive.
I'm sorry, but I just think it is indefensible.

Plastics have a massive environmental impact. Why do you think it is OK to collect plastic toys?
They've found funko debris inside dead whalesI'm trying to understand what the endgame is for your argument.
Do you think that the vast majority of toys and action figures should stop being manufactured?
If u dont like em, dont buy em? Geez. Some people on this forum hate everything.
