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.

Soulless mass-produced slob. The AI of the figurine world if you will. The Corporate Memphis of the physical world.
