Funko Pops, to me.
I understand that some of them are fairly overpriced, but I also really like them as is. It doesn’t work on all characters, but it sometimes work on a lot and there’s so much representation and variety that it’s good to have a few.
If people want to talk about waste of plastic and vinyl, they should bark at the companies who make teeny tiny figurines that serve no purpose and have so little detail that spending any money on them is a waste.
I would say they are still hated right now.
I just find them ugly, but there are some people with almost visceral reactions to them. “That’s not even a real shoe” kind of thing.
Lol yeah I do kinda find them ugly but since they are everywhere, they look less ugly as I got used to seeing them ig.
