I’m wondering if Funko Pops are a psy-op by miniature wargames, scale model, and gunpla manufacturers to make customers feel less ashamed of their piles of shame.
Like I have too much stuff in my backlog, but not “100s of unopened product taking up several shelves.” I have maaaybe a bookcase if I assemble everything without painting it.
I swear, half the time my wife and I come up with a new “type of guy” to imagine and laugh about, it turns out to be a real type of guy that already exists.
I worked with a guy who liked to talk about his wall of limited edition action figures he bought from comic and anime cons that all were kept in their boxes, said they were going to be his retirement fund.
No need for that when they have influencers who do it for free. I’ve seen warhammer pile of shame videos where some guy has thousands of dollars of unopened plastic.
oh hey whats up ellen, i was happy to have you over. sorry you didnt enjoy my funko collection. honestly i was a little worried you might walk away with that impression and i was really kicking myself thinking about what an idiot i am for only showing you my secondary funkos. i should have lead strong and shown you my first round draft picks but i keep those locked up in a temperature controlled environment and as i explained to you when you were over, my mother wont let me go into the wine cellar when she isnt home
I met someone who had 100s of these things, a whole wall with shelves filled with them, really overwhelming
It’s so tacky, they’re not even unique

I have more respect for hardcore otaku weebs that have girly resin kits on their goon cave desk.

Okay maybe I’m also just poor because I don’t spend anywhere near $100 a month on treats and sure as shit not $1,200 a year for multiple years.
