Is there an actual news source beyond a screenshot of a post in some social media? If at least it was an official post from the company itself...

I remember there's this story on Reddit (AITA, IIRC) told from the first person perspective of some guy ruining his own finance, and with it his marriage, by getting so much of these things.

no more chunkopops

I mean you could order a specific one yeah? Beanie babies at least in the heydey did that randomization crap like the card games.

Why does everyone here Yuck other peoples Yum? You aren’t forced to buy them

What always confused me was the breadth of the collection. I could see kids wanting a couple dinos from jurassic world/park but they have 7 variations of ian malcolm and 3 owen grady and 3 alan grants. There are over 70 skus, with only about 30 unique characters.

The stores stock randomly, my local comic book store has a 2 20ft long tables stacked 3 ft high. Random funkos. They've been there for years, it's just largely stuff that noone wants anymore, it's just there as a massive display, they get a little stock in now and then and pepper them into the pile.

Get the fucko outta here

Whenever Funkos (especially the disdain of them) are mentioned, I feel obligated to share this little gem that shares my thoughts exactly

if your business can't survive a 14% drop in sales, you run the business pretty shittily

Omg he admit it!

Especially when you can print your own for less than MSRP, fully-colored or ready for your choice of paint. 🤷🏼‍♂️
