100%. It's the ones nobody wanted and is little different than a bakery tossing their crusty bread that didn't sell.

If you own even a single funko pop then you're a fucking loser.

Funkopops are trash.

I guess I don't get it honestly. The Japanese do it so much better with the small figures (not really into anime stuff but the quality is on another level).

even the jap figures are kinda garbage really. way too often, the eyes and mouth are just printed on a smooth surface, and that is less respectable than the honest and proud suckage of fucko pops
