I was at SDCC this year and I was amazed at how many booths had Funko pops, which was about 20-30% of the booths and there was a line for the Funko area, jam packed with people. I over heard people saying they found some rare ones or newly released that were hard to find.
A few years ago someone bought me a Squirtle Funko Pop, since Squirtle is the best, and I opened it and took it out of the box. They proceeded to freak out that I ruined is value by taking it out of the box…
I don’t collect them because they’re plastic junk that adds no value to my life.
That’s what I meant by the second part. A lot of people just don’t like the idea of collecting or Funko pops
Yeah, but you made it sound like those reasons don’t matter.
No what I meant was the demand for Funko pops seems to be in decline and a lot of people share OP’s beanie baby perspective.
I mentioned people not wanting then for various reasons just because they weren’t really involved with the hype to begin with and it could be for any number of reasons.
