I continue to struggle to believe people actually buy these.
no, i've met people who genuinely collect these, and not just the few with unique designs
Que several pages of Facepunch getting angry at PVC figures
If the news is about PVC figures we may as well discuss PVC figures
Or is this a "Don't say nasty things about what I like" zone?
my old roommate had dozens, all of them looking at his bed
I just don't understand why there's such a vitriol around these figures was my point. Discuss them all you want, it's the superiority people have because they don't like them I dislike.
My problem with them is pretty much every geeky store has dumped about 75% of their store space into them, it's impossible to go into any store without them taking up a huge chunk. I've had favourite stores completely lose my interest because they turned into designated Pop zones.
Also seeing the same shit over and over and over again gets very tiring, I love seeing other peoples collections but these days when you look at them it's just a bunch of dead eyes staring back. It probably makes more sense if you're a collector of toys n' other pointless artefacts.
In several cases these might the only official licensed 'figure' merchandise that will be available for some franchises. All sorts of respectful, well-made, quality figures could be made with realistic proportions, but instead it basically comes down to "Super cheap homogenized, generic, over stylized bread-head thing that is only vaguely styled like it" or "Too expensive for people other than enthusiast collectors".
Here come's the money.
I had some guy talking to me about how he had the full collection of some limited run of these and had camped outside a store in some other country to get them. All I could think of is "why".
Like shit I can understand being proud of some limited edition super detailed model that actually visibly looks like its worth a bit and is genuinly a cool collectors item but funko pops look like something you'd make as your first "character" when learning to use a 3d modelling program because you haven't figured out how to make anything but smoothed geometric shapes.
If this was just the bit on the right so there was no label, I legitimately wouldn't be able to tell what it's supposed to be, lol.
Stop. STOP WITH FORTNITE CRAP
Wow, not content with their popularity, now they making merhandise.
Fuck off Epic.
y'all know funko makes more than pop! figs right? i mean yea, pop figs suck sure. but they make some good stuff IMO
