Yeah, because calling people you who don't share your view of a toy "turbonerds" is real smart. You tell 'em.

It seems like a waste of energy to keep hating on Funkos, but that's just me. There are so many other Pokemon toys if these aren't to your liking.
This like... they're just figurines.
I mean I won't be buying it but I've bought plenty of figurines from them because they're fun. For 99% of people figurines are something fun you buy and display them somewhere random. Most people aren't looking at being serious collectors here.
Mother of God, lol.
A bunch of whiny nerds who need to get over themselves is all it is.

Oh look, a douche who can't understand the concept of people having different opinions. No one here is saying anything is wrong with liking Funkos, no one is taking anything away from you, but the assertion that non-positive opinions can't be expressed here is ludicrous.
You really don't need to defend FunkoPop. They, like any companies that rely solely on licensing to exist, don't give a shit so long as you keep giving them money.
If you see value in cheap vinyl figures vaguely resembling pop culture characters that are artificially made scarce to drive up demand, that's your money you're wasting.
If they thought nerds would buy black and white photocopies of their favs with beady black eyes and bobbleheads, they would sell them.
Hopefully you'll at least recycle them instead of dumping them in to landfill.

Hate their design, but good for the people who want a little collectible of their favorite character. Not all of us can put down 80$ for a scale figure.
Wow, these are incredible.
Who makes these?
Excuse me can you speak up I don't think your passive aggression is loud enough.
Because heaven forbid people speak in defense of something they like.
You're welcome to defend them, but like ... why? What are you worried people calling them ugly, overpriced, future landfill will do? Ruin their resell value? Destroy the honor of the Funkos?
They're a successful licensing company that sells overpriced bobble-headed figures. They don't care that a few 'whiny nerds' on a forum think they make ugly crap.
I mean, I'd say we're all nerds here.
But making a hobby out of hating stuff other people like is peak nerding imho.
And I have no issue over someone liking or not liking Funko Pops, it's just the circle hatejerk over them that I find weird.
I missed the bandwagon with these in the collection stakes but these I'll collect.
Still kicking myself for not picking up Ned Stark when I was at Comic Con

Ain't gonna lie, I sometimes enjoy playing with toys more than videogames again. Could be my nephew's toys or my own grown up collectibles.
I guess Funko got the one property it didn't have. Now it has it all.
But Nendoroids are infinitely better. Funko, HotToy's version, etc are all super lame looking.
Are they gonna do Pops of the human characters too?
When they make the Mario, Zelda, Fire Emblem and Metroid Pops.
Bruh, there are people who flock to these threads all the time to do nothing but spew pure hatred for these things to exist. And they just keep going on and on and on in said threads, and always find their way to threads about them despite their supposed hate for them. If you're just someone with a casual dislike, cool, more power to you. But I think we both know that's not what we're talking about here.
That is a huge get for Funko. Say what you want about them but they are the kings of licensing.
I'll be interested to see what's in store. Pops are hit and miss with me, I don't tend to like humans in that style as they all look the same, but monsters/creatures can suit the style well.
I adore my set of Sesame Street Pops for instance.

crazy, i can see the entire pokedex eventually being made knowing funko lol
if the mini funkos of pokemon come in sets that will interesting given the demand for smaller figures.
my only bitch about funko's is how much booth space they eat up at every con/gaming/trade show/collectable swap meet i go to...

I hope that's the case here as well.
...don't know if I want the Devil, but if I see that Flower, it's bought!They made The Devil too:
Those aren't Pops though, they're just Funko Vinyl figures. They do make Cuphead pops and Mystery Minis though.
I hope Funko blots out the fucking sun with a gigantic pop figure
Crops turn to ash, the food supply dwindles
The rain turns cold
75% of the world's population dies
Society crumbles into a lawless wasteland
God? No God here. Now hand over you limited edition, Target-exclusive Pink Gold Peach Mario Kart Pop if you want to live
Is Red the only male trainer with a figure?Hate their design, but good for the people who want a little collectible of their favorite character. Not all of us can put down 80$ for a scale figure.
My heart weeps for retail workers across the world. "I buyed this here Amiibo for muh sons birfdeh and it dusnt werk! Call menager!1"
Not my kinda thing (I own some proper Poke-Amiibo and don't need to settle for a lesser plastic toy like some filthy pleb :smug ). Hope peeps that collect these are happy though. Not a fan of the retailer exclusivity though. Having to haul ass to several retailers to grab a limited edition anything is already annoying. Being locked into just a few handful of outlets on top of that is super annoying.

Some of the funko stuff looks pretty cool, but goddamn I stopped getting them because I just can't afford the sheer amount of money. Shit adds up bad pretty quickly.
I'm in this boat. I dislike most of them, but certain things work really well and I like those. So Pokemon could be interesting. I like the idea of a Bulbasaur funko, personally. My roommate likes them a lot more, she'll probably love this news.
Most Pop figures are ugly and way too expensive for what they are.
I like the current Mighty Muggs much better with their three facial expressions, and have been collecting a few of the Marvel ones myself. I like their design better and the head changing gimmick is really cool and well made. To top it all off they're cheaper than Pops.
