Please explain Funko Pops to me

Are they like Beanie Babies for adults or something? Cute, but super collectible?

I dunno, I feel like I'm a little behind on these things.

    Love them as well, they cover so many genres, so much to pick and choose from! I stick pretty much with tv / movies, as well as a few random sports Pops. Just picked up a Bob Ross the other day!

    Apparently they're extremely popular amongst adults

    It reminds me of the Beanie Baby fad back in the 90s, because I knew a ton of adults who collected those, too

    Have never seen them. Have never heard of them.

    OP doesn't explain it, apparently there is an expectation that normal people are supposed to know what this is.

    Really? Never? They are all over the place. Music stores, target, comic book stores, Best Buy, game spot, think geek.


    I mostly have sports ones, and movies/tv shows

    Well there you go... the only brick and mortar place I shop is the grocery store. Can't remember the last time I went into any of those sorts of places.

    Saw them once at best buy, a bunch of NERDS were there right when it opened to get them. I had no idea what they were doing. Didn't know what they were. Didn't care.

    Literally never heard of them or seen them.

    Seem like they’re a toy for 5 year olds.

    Can’t believe some of you have never heard of these.

    There’s tons for sale in Barnes & Noble.

    They’re kinda stupid but it works as something to put on your desk at work or make a shelf of.

    There’s a mall with a movie theater, target and Barnes & Noble 10 minutes from my house so it’s fairly convenient.
