They believe that the Funko Pops will make up for their lack of personality, from my experience (which is admittedly only one ex coworker and my sister)

I feel people hate them because they're popular, which leads to them oversaturating the market.

They're essentially collectibles for people that don't normally buy collectibles.

Never liked the look of Funko figures.
If I want a toy or figure, I like the amiibo or the Figma ones.

Pops are stuff that I see as hard to cash when you finally want to get rid of them. Will probably lose price over lack of demand in the future and there's no real intrinsic value to them. Only those that are very few of them will be worth something.

Funkos are poor man's nendoroids.

Nendoroids are about 3 times more expensive but they are actually good looking, always have extra faces with different expression. Extra arms and other stuff for different poses.

This is one of the newest releases Ciri from Witcher 3.

Tupac is worth like 500 new and unopened last I checked. And just my luck is the only one I want

Lol people post Nendoroids in every Funko Pop topic. Of course they're better they're more expensive. Funko Pops are supposed to be cheap since people buy sets of them and buy them as stocking stuffers.

I think that's the best thing about them. They have the most random characters and shows. It's pretty good for stuff that otherwise doesn't have collectibles.

For video game and comic book characters there's better alternatives though. I bought a bunch of Totaku on clearance recently and they look pretty good considering the price.

Theres some neat and obscure characters which is fun to find.

I think theyre stupid. All those types of weird chibi or super deformed stylized collectibles.

But I guess Im a bit of a collectible snob.

Give me something highly detailed that looks amazing (Transformers Masterpiece, those quarter-scale 1990 Ninja Turtles from NECA, Sideshow Toys, WETA Lord of the Rings sculptures, even those Toy Story Signature Collection toys) over that kind of stuff any day.

It's the same as the baseball card boom and beanie babies: overproduced junk marketed as limited collectibles that people think will increase in value in 10 years time.

The best time to sell is right now before it all comes crashing down.
