I don’t think I’ll ever see the appeal of these figures. Glancing at the linked list of 10 worst Funko Pops, the complaints seem to mostly be “too blocky, not expressive enough, eyes are just solid black”. Aren’t those the exact defining traits of a Funko Pop?

I have the same thoughts on that article. The “10 Worst” look exactly like all the other Funko Pops I’ve ever seen.
It does have the best “I need an editor” sentence I’ve read this week, though. On Mrs. Potts and Chip, a teapot and cup: “They are literally two peas and a pod.”

I just checked. No funko pops for any of those:
- Alexander Von Humboldt
- Buckaroo Banzai
- Mary Anning (+Tray)
- Árni Magnusson
- William Morris
- Sir Mortimer Wheeler
- Nick & Nora Charles
Too bad, I would have bought them

Harsh, but funny. (I say having a decent dad. Sorry for those who didn’t.)

Compare to Beanie Babies and remember how that market went.

I don’t think anybody buys them for the monetary value?

For the most part - they aren’t very expensive to collect. There are exceptions with small run exclusives. Some of them very small runs.

There is a thriving second hand market where these are flipped for a profit.

You can pry my Trinket pop from my cold, dead, furry claws. 
I don’t buy them for the collectable value, but for the personal amusement I get out of them, which is infinitely more valuable.
Also no disrespect (to anyone) but… Jan Brady Funko Pop! sold with George Glass, her imaginary boyfriend | Boing Boing
