[LFAQs-redacted-quote] Time heals all wounds. You watch, in 10-15 years people will be saying how awesome Funko pops actually were. It's the same thing that happened to Star Wars. Now that enough time has passed we have all these contrarians trying to say the movies were actually not that bad and that they might even be good.. --- "Inside every cynical person there is a disappointed idealist." - George Carlin ...

The only good thing about Funko Pops is that they represent a lot of framchises that might not get merch otherwise. A few of the variants are cute too. (I have Hipster Ariel because that image macro speaks to me on a spiritual level <_<) But if there's literally any other option for collectible merch there's no reason to get Funko Pops. --- https://imgur.com/dAri4ON ...

I only have two funko pops. First was a gift I didn't ask for. Even kinda insulted them over it. It's based on a perk from fallout. And I Saif right as I received it "ah the one perk I never use" the second one cause I bought but only cause it caught me at the right time and invoked nostalgia in me.

Them being licensed characters from so many different IPs helps set them apart from a bunch of generic stuffed animals. That's what gives them their staying power.

Certain Beanie Babies actually were legitimately valuable during that craze, and tons of people bought them just on speculation alone. I'm not sure the same holds true with Funko Pops.

My collection is worth (at current market price) a little over $12,000. I have one figure I could sell today for $350 if I needed quick cash. However I will never in my lifetime sell even a single pop.

Beanie Babies were original stuffed animal designs created for kids that liked animals. I kept a lot of mine that were cool creatures for this reason. Pops are just worse versions of things from existing IPs that barely look like the characters they are of, with a few good exceptions. --- move all remaining groundhog mercenaries to the front lines.
