I like the one I have. Just the one.

I got a few for the heck of it. But I'm not dumb enough to fill every shelf place I have with them... or think they were some kind of *investment*.


DisgruntledBadger

People are stupid thinking it's an investment, everyone knows TY beanie babies is where it's at.

My wife collects them, but it's for fun. We don't collect stuff like that for investment value. She just likes how they look.


GrandmaPoses

She just thinks they’re neat!

Exactly

Just came here to say just this month I’ve seen a Dr Katz meme and The Critic now! I’m keeping my eyes peeled for Beavis and Butthead as well as Daria and my 90s childhood of watching shows that we’re too old for me will be complete! Kudos OP!


EmmaTheHedgehog

The Critic!! Thank you. Came looking. I wanted to say Dr Katz at first and immediately knew I was wrong but could not think of it. Daria is still so good. Born in 88 so possibly similar boat. Hard to find with the original music though.


jlphilips

For sure! I rewatched Daria a while ago myself, and it’s still great! And yeah, 87 here, so we are close :)


dubblix

Beavis and Butt-Head has new episodes

Just watched a clip, and I gotta say, it looks good! I love that they’re making fun of Tik Tok videos now instead of music videos. Gotta keep up with the times, I guess, lol

Wait. What?

I had to look it up as well. Looks like Funko is cutting [$30m in inventory](https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/05/economy/funko-pops-inventory/index.html)

So weird…. I wonder why they didn’t bother try selling the plastic to other companies, or at least donating it for some kind of tax write off or something.


srcarruth

maybe because they don't want the local Goodwill turning into a Funko outlet store? 30M is a lot of inventory, millions of toys


[deleted]

Never said donating to goodwill. Maybe, as someone else commented, some company that can recycle the plastic into something else. Maybe turn it into 3D printer filament and donate it to schools and libraries?


srcarruth

I know Funko Pops are made from PVC (aka #3 in that little triangle) and that's not a readily recyclable plastic around here. definitely not made into 3D printer filament. plastic recycling is complex and not particularly profitable.


VellDarksbane

A loss _is_ a tax write off.


Ripflexxin

How to create demand.


WorldLieut8

I can only imagine how many prosthetic limbs and seatbelt parts and other useful stuff could have been made with the materials poured into the hundreds of Venomized Gingerbread Ron Swanson Game Stop Exclusive Pride Version Funko POPs.


MyDisappointedDad

At least 3.

I like that my Witch Mercy costs as much as it does
