Topic: I went to a comic book store today

And bought my nephew these figurines. They were Disney characters dressed as Star Wars people. There were two different Anakin Skywalker-Mickeys.

I asked the clerk which was cooler, and he tried to give me the entire Star Wars storyline. I let him go on for a while before I gently interrupted.

Then him and another clerk seemed agast that I was going to let my nephew open the packaging on these dolls

It's kinda sad now that Star Wars toys are marketed at adults who will keep them sealed in their packaging in a glass case or some shit.

They don’t even package the Star Wars merch in good looking boxes; so weird that nerds insist on keeping them like that

Funko pop is the new beanie baby, tbh.

Also, nerd shit like that is less valuable once opened. What's the point of collecting something if you can't even play with it a bit?

I don't even think they look cute or cool

I'm sure they are probably neither of those things. A lot of nerd shit isn't. Like, Funko Pops do literally nothing.
