  do people actually buy those? I honestly thought they were some kind of money laundering thing. I’ve never once saw one sell.

    Maybe it’s a whale thing, most people don’t give a shit but the people who do have to buy all of them to sate their neurosis

    I’ve seen maybe 3 passable figures by them. Mind boggling that they actually sell.

    Working in tech, I’ve seen a lot of them in people’s cubicles.

  They aren’t fucking nerds then. Nerds don’t buy Funko Pops.

  I can name 3 or 4 people who own walls of Funko pops and I can tell you they wouldn’t know an IDE from MS Word. None of them went to college either.

  They’re posers.

    If you say so… but some of the Funko collectors I know are definitely die-hard nerds. Having bad taste doesn’t exclude you from nerddom.
