Speaking as a ~~hoarder~~ collector of many strange things, I still can't comprehend the appeal of Funko Pops. Even if you're super into whatever franchise the model in question is from, surely there is a better way to express it than by way of deformed simulacra with dead, soulless eyes. Just saying.
I own one. It's the Blue Meanie from Yellow Submarine. I saw it at Barnes and Noble and thought it was cute so I got it.
I don't really get why people would collect tons of these things, but I didn't understand baseball cards or beanie babies either. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
