I have a ton of funko's but I'm pretty selective with what I get.
Honestly I really like the idea of them, and theres been plenty where it's either buy a funko for a figure from a series/game/movie, spend $300 on a statue, or nothing... And honestly I prefer to spend under $20.

Oh no now they even ruin Pokemon...
They wont stop to make ugly and soulless figures until they even made figures of you, me and the rest of earths population.

Wake me up when they make a Yanma figure. Though it may be nightmare fuel like their Dory pop figure.
Here's an illustrated version of why I dislike most Funko Pops:
I always imagine those big, black, soulless eyes on the original character design and it's a nightmare.
There are good versions, but they are either the ones that work with the eyes (WALL-E) or aren't the same human mould (Cuphead, whenever it's something like a dragon or whatever)
Funko's other products are pretty good though so I'm fine with this so long as they don't wind up replacing every other piece of PokéMerch out there (which would never happen). It's also unlikely that other Nintendo properties will be Funko'd, since this is probably a Pokémon Company deal.

Some people never grew out of their childhood and still cling on to the stuff that used to make them happy. Crazy how some people never developed emotionally despite how much their body grew. Them and those video game nerds make me laugh.
Well sure, but all I see in the OP is Pikachu, and you can get a Pikachu that actually looks like a Pikachu for dirt cheap anywhere.
The biggest problem with Funko Pops is what you see and what you get. I can't recommend buying a Funko Online because the displayed product differs from the product you will actually get. The figure you will get is a $15 product produced in Vietnam. Most Funkos do have a horrible paint job or are looking washed out. The worst Funko figure (not a Pop) I ever ordered was the Devil from Cuphead which I returned to Amazon.
But there are many other collections from the Pop series which are looking great. The Resident Evil Pops are awesome and the Nemesis Pop is one of the most detailed Pop figure I ever touched. It's simply a hit or miss when it comes to Funko. You can't expect much for the price but then again, Amiibos are much more detailed with a decent paint job for the same price. If you want more for your money, just support Good Smile Company or Kotobukiya.
I wouldn't call Scale Figures and the like a toy. A kid can't hardly do anything with such a figure because they are stiff/static. Figure collections aren't so exotic. Your view of such a collection is a little weird though. Buying a figurine is similar to buying a flower or whatever, you can decorate your room with them. It's a hobby. It's nothing out of the ordinary.

Man people sure are judgemental for people enjoying figures on this forum...
They're affordable fandom, let people have fun.

Damn, now I really need that Fennekin figure. Thanks :(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.
To be honest, I'm glad I met my girlfriend before I started collecting.
I dont think thats the point. Is just for having things about a franchise you like
Heh, always the same reaction. I mean I don't even like most POPs but I don't react like this lmao.
This is a pretty big get though, get ready for that bankroll.

I love all the people who nothing to do but complain about this (everything really). Popular thing must be hated. I have no problem with this. Funko everything.
no me neither - they seem perfectly fine. why do they make some people so cross?
That Pikachu looks bad cause it's too skinny
Fat Pikachu would've looked great with that face.
And yes I have a whole collection of Pops, my favorite being the large sized BT mech from Titanfall 2.
Not sure why people get angry about toys that don't effect their life at all but whatever.

Yeah. If a figure is too ugly I just skip it. Who cares. My girlfriend and I have built up a decent collection, about 30 or so between us (mostly hers).
Personally I was ecstatic when I walked into a Target and found a Monkey D. Luffy one for sale. Like I didn't even buy it but the fact that I could just walk into a normal department store and find merchandise of my favorite anime was a nerdy revelation. It felt like my thing suddenly became everyone else's thing and that felt awesome. But I know some people hate when their fandoms go "mainstream" so whatever.
I figured most people here would be upset over this, but fans over on Reddit areecstatic. Looking forward to picking this one up. It's neat we're getting Pokemon when they just recently announced Digimon and Yugioh as well.

What the hell, I want all of these!
