I hate those things. They're everything that's wrong with the modern world marketing toys to adults rather than children:
They're ugly, and often unrecognizable as the character they're meant to represent without the label on the packaging
There's like a thousand of them, so someone would have to spend a fortune to collect them all. I think they have a bunch of exclusives too.
they've blended "universes" into incomprehensibility. "You like Spider-Man? How would you like Superman done in the same style? Now how about Seinfeld and that guy in the background from the Office?"
Its funny, because very early on when they were less streamlined, they had some pretty cool ones. Because instead of having a recognizable "brand" shape, they had all the necessary details to recognize the character itself. The D.Va for example built the entire mech with no "Funko" parts in the slightest, just a solid figurine. The only way you even know is because the tiny D.Va inside is Funko'd.
Now they are so rushing out to have every single character in existence they can't spend time beyond a paint job, and you'd never guess who half of them were without the box telling you.
You don't find fulfillment in working to buy more FUNKO POPS?

They're soulless dolls, each one a carbon copy of each other one, except for their outfits. 100% image 0% personality
Those things piss me off. I have a few figures but funko pops aren't even esthetically pleasing. It genuinely confounds me why anyone would like them.
