Funko pops are terrible and they're just Nendoroids but for poorfags.
>>
>>32903500
Those vinyl figures make me sick
>>
I'd be pretty cool with it. The thing I like about Pop figures is that it's got a wide range of franchises that'll never crossover in a consistent art style. Having Pokémon included in the mix would be nice.

I'd only really get two or three of them though.

Nendoroids don't have nearly the same range of franchises that Funko do though.

what the fuck is wrong with the funko eyes?
can't they just get generic eyes? doesn't seem hard.
>>
>>32903600
It's a stylistic choice you fuck
>>
Funko pops are the ugliest shit in the world they are the most "normie" collectible ever. Fitting that you also play league.
>>
>>32903608
they're soulless. they'd be saved if someone just destroyed them.
>>
>>32903500
I don't collect figures as a whole but I can at least understand the appeal of collecting them. Funko Pop figures look like utter garbage though and I don't know why anyone would want to own one. It makes more sense to buy one good figure that would look good on a shelf than several shitty-looking figures like this.

>stylistic choice

Do normalfags really believe this? The only reason they don't do their eyes is because it would cost an extra dollar to produce and they wouldn't be able to sell them for any higher price.
>>
>>32903541
>>32903559
People honestly collect this shit?
>>
>>32903500
I've never gotten the appeal of collectables, especially only as sin ones.

I'd rather save and retire early.
>>
>>32903500
Funko Pops no
Dorbs, Rock Candy, or mysterty mini lines seems ok
Also since Funko will milk a franchise for all its worth we could see more obscure characters get merch
>>
I think Funko does their best work with non-human creatures and the beady soulless eyes actually look charming on some cuter properties like Sanrio and Disney. So Pokemon would probably be a good licence for them to cash in on, god knows they would produce thousands of the little bastards and they would sell like hotcakes.
>>
>>32903621
I can understand why someone would think they look bad but I collect them because they all fit together stylistically (black eyes, similar body structure), they aren't like 40$ a piece (aka I can eat) and Funko has more licenses than something like nendoroid or kidrobot.
>>
>>32903665
> they aren't like 40$ a piece (aka I can eat)

Terrible financial decisions
>>
>>32903641
No.
No one who collects this shit can be considered "people".
>>
>>32903656
I've been shitting on Funk Pops, but I own these two because I like the movie a lot and they turned out well. Would never dream of buying any others though, and technically these were a gift (that I asked for). The more you have the worse they all start to look because you realize how similar the molds are when placed together.
>>
>>32903638
It's a bit of both. Either way they look better than Dorbz.
>>
>>32903638
They sell rock candy for the same exact price as pops. Do your research before shitting on something you retard
>>
>>32903665
>they aren't like 40$ a piece (aka I can eat)
But you just said in an earlier post that you wasted $150 on like ten figures. If you're in such financial troubles that you're having difficulty paying for food you shouldn't be collecting figures in the first place and instead should be saving up money so you can pull yourself out of that hole.
>>
>>32903687
Those two actually look good, but I think it's because they're close in artstyle to the originals. My mother bought a Baby Groot one after seeing GotG 2 and I don't think it looks that horrible because Groot already has beady black eyes. Anything human looks like complete garbage though.
>>
>>32903696
>Don't know what rock candy is
>look it up
>Some Bratz doll looking figurines

Why?
>>
>>32903698
I'm pretty sure they didn't buy all of them at once.
>>
>>32903716
Doesn't matter that $150 can go towards something more productive
>>
>>32903696
Can you not fucking read?. That's literally what I'm saying that Funko cuts corners to save on price because they wouldn't sell over other figures if they made them any higher.
>>
>>32903712
Not saying I like them, just saying they're the same price.
>>
>>32903703
I think the human figures can look decent but only if they have a design with unique clothes and hair. Anyone wearing normal clothes looks generic.
>>
No, but if it happens I can see TONS of store/con-exclusive POPs and chase POPs being a thing for a possible Pokemon line.
>>
>>32903720
It does though, they didn't spend $150 of the money they had to spend but rather $10 of it which is a reasonable amount to spend on something outside of things you actually need.

>>32903855
Hating on Funko Pops isn't the same as saying you hate some classic game/movie, it's more like hating on Twilight or 50 Shades of Gray. It's a low-hanging fruit that's easy to rip apart because despite being popular it's really bad.
>>

No, YOUR opinion is wrong!

Do you also like Twilight and 50 Shades of Gray?

>>
>>32903907
No, but literature and collectable figures are completely different things. Pop figures fill the niche of collectables that don't cost like 50$, are all thematically similar, and look good (in my opinion). You can say you don't like them, but you can't say they're bad. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
>>
>>32903621
>Funko Pop figures look like utter garbage though and I don't know why anyone would want to own one.
some franchises/series don't release their own good collectibles, that's why
>>
>>32903927
>you can't say they're bad.
Yes I can. You can criticize figures as much as any other form of art (using art loosely here). I haven't exactly given much criticism if any, admittedly, but to say you can't say something is bad because of opinions is silly. I know some people will disagree and say they're good, but that's what arguments are for.

if you're going to be such a normie then just fucking go to the bar, why don't you? Meet some brain dead but average-looking girl and have bad sex? Maybe take a few too many prescription pills and die from overdose on the floor of your studio apartment because you don't have a home phone line and forgot where you put your cell so you can't call yourself an ambulance? Get off the fucking internet.

Poor autists who can't afford real figures.

Get off my fucking website you normalshit.
>>
>>32903500
They look terrible, people shit on amiibos but these are several times worse like holy shit they barely resemble what they're trying to represent.

They're collectibles for normal people who want to feel nerdy but are too stupid to actually buy good merchandise.
>>
>>32903523
I guarantee that they cost the same amount of money to make. Nendoroids get away with charging ridiculous prices for their tiny as fuck figures because people in Japan are used to paying out the ass for things like this.
>>
>>32903500
These things are hideous, fuck off
>>
>>32905944
except they aren't Nendroids are close to 10$ while pops are like 3$
>>
>Not collecting plushies instead
sasuga
>>
>>32906536
On what fucking planet? Nendoroids are 4800 yen a peice, and pops are 10 USD. Literally almost 4 times the price.
>>
>>32903500
I don't get why people have such a hate-boner for Funko, maybe because they all look the same or maybe it because it's those beady eyes that give people nightmares but to me they kind of harmless and some are actually well designed like this D.VA one.

I brought a Baymax one for my dad.
>>
>>32905283

Are you retarded?
I wish they were that cheap.
>>
>>32906640
It's because they somehow manage to look lazy, gaudy, and cheap, all at the same time. It's just the same, hidious base used over and over again in order to milk as many trends as possible, it feels so souless and corporate. Overexposure and the association with the "nerd chic" culture also hurt it greatly.
>>
>>32905594
Because Nendos don't give us all the characters we want. They do, like, 1 character every 3 years.
>>
