    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. 🙂

      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.

            Saying something sucks in a general conversation isn’t not letting people enjoy things. Going up to someone with Funko pops and telling them how much they suck would be not letting people enjoy things. What you’re asking for is no criticism of a brand ever.

      Definitely, I would cherish that forever. But overall Funko Pops are so unbelievably dumb. I mean I still have some pogs somewhere, but I was 10 and they were cheap cardboard.

        Tbf, Pogs is a game and we often played for keeps, to me that puts it in a different category than funko pops. You need to collect just “more” to pad your losses (unless you’re killing it, but taken pogs are trophies), and they didn’t make them “plain,” so you might as well get the ones you like more than the ones you don’t.
