As a millennial I know what it’s like to take comfort from something that is crass commercial, and ultimately bad for the environment (looks guiltily over at Switch)…
I share your perspective, but I’m not sure how to get people to see how to do better, because I myself am manipulated by similar forces, yet all I do is grumble about it as I fork over my money for the latest so the company can sell me little bits of the wonder I felt as a child back to me.
I don’t even blame them. It’s a big circle and I’m part of it.
PS. Sorry I wrote this as the caffeine was just kicking into higher great. It might be a bit much.
I don’t really rag on people who collect them as I see the appeal in collecting stuff - I was just commenting on them aesthetically.
Very few things make me feel as disconnected from popular opinion as Funko pops. I just don’t see the appeal AT ALL when there’s a ton of cuter and/or nicer, cooler, etc figures on the market. Why does the ugly ones sell the best? Or is it actually not ugly and my perspective is wrong?? I don’t know
