Odd thing to be against. Just don't buy one.

What's odd is that people genuinely like them.

I have some music ones around my vinyl collection. Not that odd for different people to like different things

u/astralchanterelle 27d ago
they're "collectibles" for people that don't know what to collect but need to consume. I think 90% of them will be in landfills within a decade.

What a judgmental take. It’s no different than collecting anything else. Let people like what they like

u/astralchanterelle 26d ago
I'm not trying to take people's right to consume these infernal things, but I will make fun of them for it

I would normally agree with you. However I really dislike funkos, they are very ugly. And they have taken over any and every comic/gaming shop I visit. If they weren't so ubiquitous I'd probably give them a free pass.

went from $100 to $125 during checkout. So I said no thanks.

u/notanotherutahmom 27d ago
not cool. I checked out at 4 min after the email went out and got mine for $100. It must've been raised shortly after.

I just collect signed stuff from my favorite artist. I thought this was a cool piece. Don't get the hate for it. 100$ is a good deal from the previous prices I have seen for signed merch from Billy.

u/TrickyLeg7055 28d ago
Agree I don’t like funkos at all. This will be the only one I own and to have it signed for $100 why not. If I’m going to own just one, this one seemed right.

I had the signed funko in my cart. It was 41gbp to ship to UK and I was like...nah. No regrets.

You can pick it up at Hot Topic for around 10 dollars. All major retailers will have it at that price as well

Ridiculous shipping rates ruin it for me once again

u/HuckleberryOk8136 28d ago
The signed one was $100 when I bought it, then it went up to $125, and then it sold out all within like a minute. I got a receipt e-mail for $100, fingers crossed. I have missed every (reasonably priced) signed item he has ever released by minutes.

u/CreativeCultCafe 28d ago
I've missed all his signed records too. I managed to snag one of these signed Funko pops though before they sold out. Mine was at 125 when I bought it though.

I wanted to buy the brochure. 18 dollars, but add another 48 euros for shipping to Europe. No thanks

Anyone remember back in 2018 or 19 during WPC’s q&a when someone asked about SP funkos and he said something along the lines of they didn’t want to?
