Funko Pops
But it is slowing down drastically, which may lead to it being OVER.
This page is a gem.
Funko Pops are a series of plastic renditions of various pop culture icons. Most people buy them as gifts or display pieces, but some mass collect them as part of a hopeless investment. Most of these Funko Pop collectors are literal soyboys, and Funko Pops are synonymous with soyboy culture itself.
History[edit | edit source]
A company named Funko first started gaining significant popularity with the introduction of the "Pop! Vinyl" line in 2010, featuring stylized characters from various franchises, first beginning to make vinyl figures from the DC Comics franchises. Funko would continue partnering with different franchises and producing more and more figures, including ones with a different size, artificial rarity, with most items that people collect (e.g. Pokémon cards, old vidya, sports cards.) The rarity is usually attributed to production errors and quality, with Funko Pops it’s all artificial and fake.
Five years ago in a legendary thread, a redditor would divorce his wife, choosing Funko Pops over her, creating a new Copypasta with the original Reddit post getting deleted.
| I know everyone's going to think this is fake but trust me when I say this is an actual situation I'm going through. So for some explanation I have been collection Funko Pops way before I even met my wife. Buying Funko Pops started off just as a small interest but quickly became a passion of mine. Since my first time buying a Funko Pop 6 years ago I've stocked up thousands of these figures. So now about my relationship with my wife. 2 years ago I met my soon to be wife. From the very beginning of the relationship she was well aware of my Funko Pop collection and was well aware that at the time I was spending a few hundred bucks monthly in order to keep expanding my collection. She was perfectly fine with this btw. In fact she would buy Funko Pops for me for my B-Day and for Christmas. However about a week ago we got in a huge fight over my spending of Funko Pops. I will admit these past few months I have been dropping about $500 monthly on Funko figures, but in my opinion it was not financially tanking considering me and my wife have pretty decent jobs. I don't want to state what those jobs are for privacy reasons. Anyways she was telling me I needed to stop the Funko Pop collecting for a long time or at least cut down my Funko spending to 3 Funko Pops per month. In my opinion that is so ridiculous considering how limited I would be in my choice of Funko Pops. I tried to explain to her how much I enjoy collecting these figures, and how much it means to me. She then started yelling that we were going to go in debt because of the amount of money I've been spending on Funko Pops. I stated to her how she was completely over-reacting and there is no way we could possibly go in debt from this.
After some more screaming she locked herself in our room and I had to sleep on the couch that night. I really did not feel bad at all because I knew she was over-reacting. When I woke up in the morning she told me she was going to stay at her sisters house until we could sort things out. I honestly just couldn't believe she was going so far with this. I tried my best to convince her to stay but again she kept stating that I needed to stop the Funko collecting for a long time. That isn't an option for me because again she is completely over-reacting and it is in no way affecting us financially. A few days go by and I get a call from her. She tells me that I need to choose. Either I stop the Funko Pop collecting or we're getting a divorce. I started telling her how ridiculous she was being because she obviously is being ridiculous. After 2 years she was just willing to throw away our marriage over my passion. She was pretty much sobbing at this point and then I finally just told her I'm not going to let her get in the way of my passion. I still haven't gotten the divorce papers but I'm expecting them soon. So AITA for choosing Funko Pops over my wife? Again I'm very passionate about them and I think it's ridiculous for someone to try and take that away from me when it is in no way shape or form hurting them.. |
During the Covid-19 pandemic, the popularity of Funko Pops skyrocketed, as the company would mass produce so many Funko Pops from so many franchises that in 2023 the surplus of inventory began creating financial trouble for Funko. It was more expensive to keep the Funko Pops in a storage unit so they decided to throw out $30 million worth of Funko Pops into the local garbage disposals. Either way, this didn't change anything, as Funko Pops are still to be found in almost every supermarket in any first world country. Every anime, video game or show has nowadays had at least one raisiny Funko Pop made from it.
To finish it all off, they are all ugly, just a fad, and you are better off buying from any other vinyl figure manufacturer if you really want to.
In November 2025, Funko announced that they would probably end up in bankrupcy by 2026, rendering all soyboys (and troons) into a butthurt waterfall of tears and raisin.[1]
The Most Expensive Funko Pop[edit | edit source]
The Willy Wonka and Oompa Loompa Golden Ticket 2-Pack Funko Pop holds the record as the most expensive Funko Pop ever sold. With only 10 sets made of it, making it artificially rare, some sources cite a sale price of $100,000, while others indicate a higher sale price of $210,000.
You too, can buy this worthless piece of plastic for the price of a house.
