Like when do we reach peak Funko Pop?

I’m pretty sure this was the point where they jumped the shark about as badly as one possibly can

Granted, I’m not the target market, but does no one else feel like having the Star Wars logo right on the figurine just makes this trash?

I had to google that to see if it was real.

Funko Pop Funko Pop: Funko Pop Inception; it is Funk Pop all the way down.

@Brainspore That’s fantastic.

I collect another work, that would be classed as vinyl art toy for years these peace’s have been made in runs gen less of 777, or 999 or triple digit batches like that and have take weeks or months to sell out allowing us to decided weather we like them or not before buying, with lock down, and people being forced to sit at home and look at their Funko Pop collections, 100’s of people have sold all they have and moved in to collecting other art work’s, and sales have gone nuts, the last 2 pieces i collect, sold out in under an hour! and the group chat is full of people saying they have come from funko pops and sold like 400 of them and are moving on to other collectables, so i have to wonder, is this a lockdown blip because people have been stuck at home in the usa or is it a trend?

Not being in America i ofc dont really know what its like, all i know, is that little unloved art that i collect, that we had all the time in the world with, now sells out in under an hour, and the resale market has double and tripled on ebay.
