Nendoroids are the 1000% superior original minifigure that Funkopops copied. It's like the difference between the Saturn V and an African space program. 32 comments and nobody mentioned this yet... are there even any weebs here?
Also lol at Funko drowning in debt after selling one of the most popular goyslop products for a decade straight.
I know about them. Didn't know Funko ripped them off. That's a great comparison, like "We make a product that actually looks like the characters" vs "This is a dysgenic bug man, just like you". Funko Pops are so stupid, they take literally any character and make them soulless with blank eyes and no mouth. I've heard they're at least bobbleheads, but they're just something human soy jaks collect and keep in the box
In my opinion, any similar figure is better. I've heard of YouTooz, which are admittedly quite similar. They're gimmick is that they all have smiles, and are mostly of YouTubers. I have a couple Amiibo I bought for gaming reasons, but they at least have a function
If I had to guess, it's because they ran out of characters to make, and they're products had sold enough for everyone who's interested to have several. I went to a GameStop, and I remember seeing gay pride variations, and Nascar ones weirdly enough. On clearance, since no one wanted either
