what infuriates me the most about funko pops (other than the ridiculous community around them) is that funko as a company can make some really cool shit. i owned a bunch of non-pop cuphead stuff from them back in the day and it looks Good. it rules. but then their pops are just so ugly. and there's so many pieces of media that are never gonna get any other merch other than funko pops (read: little shop of horrors) and it makes me so sad
just to visualize what i'm talking about here: the funko vinyls are on model, with great care taken to make everything just right, while the funko pops are just... well. twilight look at least ok, kinda cute, one of the better pops i've seen, but cuphead looks just awful here
and imagine all the series that don't get a good-looking vinyl in addition to their pops, it makes me so sad. funko has the capability to make really good stuff but pops are profitable so they'll continue making them
