I've always hated funkopops, they're ugly and the very epitome of the enshitification and commercialisation of geek culture. This does nothing to change my mind

Yes and they’re yet another collectible product that exploits the psychology of a subset of people who compulsively collect things. I put them in the same category as gambling and note that there’s a lot of crossover with these things (loot boxes and CCG booster packs being prime examples of a gambling and collectible combo).
