Pic is very related. I stumbled upon those ugly toys I have never seen before. After googling and some reasearching I found out that: >You can't buy them properly on the internet from the original retailer >Their price ranges up to thousands >They are ugly shit and literally useless >People with that basedboy look are getting crazy over them >There are huge collections of those, so they must be popular
Why do people buy this shit? Who ever thinks it's a good idea? You can't call that shit anything but garbage. And the thing is that you can't buy that garbage properly from their own website, seems like some scam shit to me.
Funko Pops are absolute trash for mid-IQ tools, idiots who adopted 'geek' culture to fit in with trends and seem playful. They don't have a genuine bone in their bodies, so they have no taste. The endless carbon-copy similarities among Funkos is reflective of how attracted these people are to bland, repetitive adherents to the status quo. Repetition is soothing. No alarms, no surprises, no concept of aesthetic.
These things are a good red flag 9 times out of 10. If someone I encounter has those, or worse, they COLLECT them, I know they're usually a soi'd up degenerate.

They are pop-culture themed beanie babies. The will die out and something new will replace them.
Michael Mitchell
Based trips, thanks for the picture for my collection
What's the rest 1/10?
Yeah, but being pop-culture is one thing but they are literally ugly. I can understand those japanese figurines that try to be as realistic as possible but this is fucking square head with some extra details, come on

I have two, bought for $10 a piece. I keep one on each of my desks, out if the box. I don't think it's a too odd to have some knick knacks on one's desk and these are amusing.
But there's definitely a community of beta cuck manchildren who think amassing some "collection" of these things is somehow an acceptable hobby. It's cheap shit tossed out to Walmart en masse. Basically like geeks collecting action figures on steroids since they license basically every sci fi and pop culture show imaginable.
Jayden White
How are you not understanding this? They are toys bought by “adults”, stop trying to rationalize it.
Kayden Diaz
money laundering
Jacob Cruz
I would understand if people would buy one of those toys for some meme shit but judging from what google says people are literally getting crazy over it as if it were some Gundam shit
Tyler Diaz
Funko pops are for complete faggots. Pic fucking related.
Reading that made me nauseous, funko collecting and being a cvck go hand in hand.
Andrew Powell
I like how some of them look. I wish they would be more discerning with the licensing that take on. Landfills full of ghost in the shell movie or one season sci fi shows on WB hurt their brand imo
The fedora tier raging is at these things is pretty funny. It's a different type of virtue signaling. Neckbeards trying convince each other they understand culture
Nathan Williams
one of the lgs's i go to sells those things they must have 300-400 of them and people buy the fuck out of them. ive noticed its all soigoy geek-chic people that buy them. im not against them, i just dont get the appeal. then again i wargame and play edh so whatevs

Ian Kelly
literally good boy points but instead of tendies you get crappy plastic
I also feel like I should note that the wife in this case is kind of a stupid bitch. She exempted 'shipping charges for shit bought online' - so this guy is likely going to just go to ebay and buy from the people who charge a super cheap price but then assrape you on shipping to jew ebay out of money.
Camden Miller
Less than America if collecting blocko heads is a foreign concept.
Colton Wood
I'm not a fan of Pops, i had 2 of them and the head was so big and their feets so small they couldn't even stand normally. That said, i would have love to grab pic related during the election.
I don't know whats worse, the manchild obsessed with figurines or the over the top control freak wife

Acqusition feels good. They are cheap and substantial enough to where it feels like a meaningful purchase. There are a few other things that increase collectability, such as the numbering scheme, limited edition, releases by "set". They are also familiar and non-threatening looking. Make it too cool and people are turned off or don't feel comfortable displaying it to outsiders.
The #1 factor that drives consumption is that they don't stand up well on their own and that the boxes stack well. Because they don't stand up people keep them boxed which gets them in the collector mindset. Because they stack you can put a whole bunch on a ledge or dresser. This factor is absolutely vital, not even people like Melon Pan end up going as deep as $120/month in figures, even though the imports are more expensive.

They are a lot more popular in the normieverse, especially among women. They sell more at Target and Walmart than they do at a specialized hobby store online.
Don't kid yourself. Something childish and simple is a lot more approachable than something intimidating like a comic book cover or metal band t shirt.
I have other kinds of figures and stuff but noting that has weird proportions for me the fun is finding something cheap randomly so i spend $30 a year
I was at a store that was all geek stuff and they had hundreds at $20+ each, I would not have got anything but my GF is crazy about Rocket because he is fuzzy and adorable. I went in to geet a rocket and or Groot mug but they were out so I got what looked like a plush version a pop of Rocket and first thing she took it out of the box as she should to give it a snuggle
Christopher Moore
Google them. He's actually a good looking dude and they've known each other since grade school. Don't take everything you read on the internet at face value.
The dude who saw a trinket of his fav obscure character and didn't realize they were 'a thing' until months after he bought his of Nute Gunray from Star Wars
Alexander Sullivan
I used to work for Amazon and whenever I'd pick one of these pieces of shit, I'd intentionally crunch the box a bit.
Dear poor German. I have enough money to buy nostalgic shit that reminds me of my youth. That's why I collect them. What other company does this? Not even lego works with all of these properties. Go and hate on someone else's hobby Han.
Carter Walker
Can you explain why since April 29 I have called 10 times about a theft from my gift card account on april and they say they will refund it in 24 hours but they never do and with each call they say they will fix it, now the last three weeks I have gave up and trying to close my amazon account and they keep e mailing me that it was closed 2 years ago and i call and ask then how the fuck am i logged in looking at it now

Beanie Babies 2.0 Artificial scarcity does not = long term value
Adrian Taylor
You are smart for making the beanie baby comparison. Nobody else has thought of that. You must be be rich irl for being such a wizard at economic trends.
I sold my copy of the first appearance of iron man before the movie came out bc some dipshit like you made the same comparison and now the same comic is worth 6k.
Matthew Martinez
a """trap""" i saw briefly had a ton of these, He also smoked weed. Think this whole sentence speaks for itself
Matthew Carter
No reason to get all salty about it. If you believe these useless dolls have value, then sell everything you own and buy as many as you can.
But you've got to know that in 10 years when the fad passes, they'll be sitting in a closet somewhere gathering dust, and you will be able to buy them for pennies on the dollar.
The difference between your iron man reference (I assume you're talking about the 1963 Tales of Suspense #39) and these dolls is the same between collecting true rare US coins and the shit they peddle on shop at home every other week.
These dolls are just another in a long line of marketing ploys; where they build up popularity, and then create FALSE scarcity in order to drive the prices up. People have FOMO, so they're willing to pay stupid-high prices
FYI, the ad in my image is still active on e-bay. What do you think are the odds that someone will buy it?
I hate these things but there was just something about his pose here that made me buy this single one. Amusingly since he won, its "worth" quite a bit to collectors now. It will be an amusing political trinket to show the kids some day. It's insanity the people who buy literally every one available for series they don't even know about just for muh collection. The standard ones are like $8 new but that shit adds up quick. It's like an IRL gacha addiction
Ayden Taylor
I'd call you a fag but I own a lion king one so it's whatever

I love them. I collect a lot of them because they only cost like 4 bucks. Cheaper than a happy meal at mcdonalds. I have all the batman animated series and all the lord of the rings series. I also have the whole Warcraft series. They are small so they dont take a lot of space, they dont move so i dont have to worry about space. They don't move so i dont have to worry about broken joints or stuck limbs.
They are a simple collectible that represents something i love. Im not a degenerate,im not hurting anyone. They barely cost me anything
I dont see the big deal. I love that i can have all the characters from batman the animated series and i had ro pay very little.
You think spending 4 dollars on a dollie every other week is being rich? I feel sad for you leaf
Evan Hughes
No i think you are to your money as american women are to the male population

You're spending money to actually put garbage inside your house. Literal actual garbage. These things are garbage and you're a garbage'man'.
Chase Turner
I dont drink or smoke. Never had I dont go clubbing Like i said im literally not a degenerate. How many guys can say the same? That they dont drink or smoke or use pot? I dont even eat fast food. Thats what i was asaying these cost the same as a big mac burger. Some americans eat a big nac every say I just buy silly toys of things i love
You can say that about anything. Dvds, blu rays, videogames, sneakers, knives, swords, magazines, flowers.
Everything is garbage How many times have you bought your girl flowers? They literally go in the trash after one week. People buy cigarettes they are literally poisoning their bodies. Literally putting rat poison inside Alcohol kills your liver. Yet i never see you faggots hating on alcoholics or smokers
I have never ever seen you faggots EVER make a thread against alcohol or smoking.
But some silly toy and you guys go crazy..... You dont see the problem?
Liam Fisher
>You can say that about anything. Dvds, blu rays, videogames, sneakers, knives, swords, magazines, flowers. These all have an actual purpose. Those faggy dolls don't. They sit on a shelf, collect dust, look gay, and when you off yourself some relative has to pick them all up and put them in their proper place . . . which is the garbage.
Noah Clark
instead of buying auto parts,gold, guns, tools and outdoor/hunting/fishing/camping equipment he buys literally useless shit plastic items that do absolutely nothing.
>Yet i never see you faggots hating on alcoholics or smokers You’re here forever, newfag.
Jack Edwards
>Live in the age of streaming.... say that useless dvds have a purpose. >Buying dozens of sneakers... defending nigger begavior.... >Buying roasties dead plants that they throw in 4 days. >swords that you will never use in your life collecting dust
You really activated my almost guy. Explain to me how those dont collect dust, or are useless, please retarded fagot. Explain to me how a sword in your wall doesnt look gay as fuck....you might have written the most retarded thing i ever read in my life. You think buying dead plants to give to a woman is useful? How exactly? You seriously are fucking stupid guy.
Connor White
..or driving a 500 horse power Camaro whilst blasting Cannibal Corpse. lmao

I have money to buy both. I don't need tools when I can pay poor people like you to fix my shit. How poor are you that you can't spend on things that aren't utilitarian
Matthew Rogers
Google how to make a thread and see what happens newfag.
Jackson Wright
you don't buy my kind of shit because you don't know how to use it.
beanie babies are great though, nice and soft and squishy toys for kiddos
funko pops are not even toys, kids wouldn't enjoy the vinyl cube heads
Isaac Howard
probably retarded soicucks thinking their collection of mass produced plastic crap will be worth something someday. Older anons will remember the beanybaby and comicbook crazy of the 90's, idiots thought that they were making an investment and that shit would just go up and up in value, people went bankrupt buying that shit
Brandon Morris
You're right. Smoking is never mentioned in muh degeneracy threads. Why is that?
Hudson Sanchez
But you cant cover tendies in Hooters Hot Wing Sauce or PF Changs Kung Pau sauce
Hudson Richardson
dvds or blurays have higher quality video and audio than streaming versions. Swords can be useful to martial artists. Flowers can be used to cover unpleasant scents, like a bathroom.
I don't have any of these things, but you can't deny they have an actual purpose. As opposed to actual garbage dolls.
David Stewart
I dont buy my girl flowers she dont want cut flowers i buy her herbs which she mostly kills and maybe uses then in cooking every 6 months
I tend to only get things I can share in the use, movies I can watch with friends or loan or trade with friends, and i mostly only get figures i could use in some sort of table top game
Justin Moore
millenials and their faggot ass toys, if you're going to collect plastic at least collect something worth while; faggot ass sissy boys.....
beanie babies were a thing when i was a kid. just another fad
David Adams
I used to work at a B&N bookstore that sold them. We would have people calling the store or stopping in almost daily to see if we got anything new. These people heavily researched when new Pops would be released and even knew our shipping schedules. I believe this may be the current Beanie Baby fad especially since many of the collectors over estimate the value of what is basically a dog toy.
Nolan Perry
They always give me a creepy vibe and remind me of something abut a real sick boy that looked like a funpop but thats all I can remember about him and just get a feeling of sadness. They also look like a Betty Boop doll i seen once that had the hair rotted off
I worked at Gamestop for a while, and whenever someone brought one of these fucking things up to purchase, I asked them why they wanted such an ugly thing (Joking around, to make conversation, not accusatory) and I never once got an actual answer. These Shoybois are just buying them because that's what they're supposed to do.
Jesus titty fucking christ. You just compare worthless cliché toys with other equally worthless cliché toys. Fucking beanie babies retarded type shit going on here.
You basedmen could've saved that money to start some little business and reap the benefits of capitalism. My father become wealthy from selling dim sum. Before he makes the dim sum himself but now he hires some workers for sub standard wages to do the wrapping and selling lol.

I bought a Vivic funko like a year ago. It just sits on my shelf, but it was only $10 so idk if I regret it or not
My ex and her family loved those things and had collections going. Surprise, they celebrated (((shabbat))) and my ex turned into a degenerate Thot.

So you say people think that they are investing into future and those toys are some sort of "bitcoin" that will definitly, 100% sure rise in value in future? I am comparing worthless ugly ass toys that have no substance behind them aside of meme potential with actual models that look ad detailed as they can get to their original things. I mean you can't just be fucking serious buying those ugly shits and making a collection out of it? S O Y filter is strong, I guess mods really got triggered since they love this product so much Yeah, that's the only correct way to buy those, like buy one thing because it looks fun, but my issue was that people are literally collecting tons of those, link related imgur.com/gallery/RdTiF#ldoea0R Just look at this shit
