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.
Funko pops are the modern lawn flamingo or garden gnome. They’re tainted things, too corporate to be kitschy, and far too uninteresting to be worth calling a knickknack. I instantly judge anyone who owns one for their future contribution to a far-off landfill.
I put my foot in my mouth once, because my sister had gotten me one. I held onto it for a bit but got rid of it, forgot she had given it to me, and at some point voiced how they’re just garbage 😅
As someone who essentially uses their mouth as a shoe, I feel your pain. Bright side, you won’t receive any more garbage of that specific variety!
