Speaking as a ~~hoarder~~ collector of many strange things, I still can't comprehend the appeal of Funko Pops. Even if you're super into whatever franchise the model in question is from, surely there is a better way to express it than by way of deformed simulacra with dead, soulless eyes. Just saying.

A student gifted me a Funko Pop at the end of the last school year. She designed it on their website to look like me, holding a game controller and complete with my signature long hair and fun button-up shirt. I thought that was a very cool gift. ๐Ÿ™‚

Anything that someone personalized for you is cool by definition. But, every generic marvel or wharever funko pop is trash.

Oh absolutely. I see the limited edition ones at cons and can only think of the exclusive Beanie Babies that people used to go nuts over. Like who gives a fuck srsly.
