Even reddit foids are repulsed by the funkocels

Collecting plastic figures and hoarding them in your home in a "display" really shouldn't qualify as a hobby.

It's just shopping for tat. No talent or creativity involved. No one's growing as a person or learning. They're just buying shit.

You know how this ends.

You are dating over 30, funky pops are the least you have to worry about

I'm not sure why but this is also sort of killing my lady boner. I objectively understand that everyone is allowed to have whatever hobbies they want, of course, but I personally would not want to live in a house with a wall of weird looking dolls

Nice example of 2022 ideology tbh 'do what you want, everyone is free, but if you make the wrong choice you'll suffer'

I'm just trying to understand why I feel this way, if it's something I can get over, and also if anyone has any experience with such a thing. I understand that caring about a hobby is maybe being too picky... but for some reason it's sort of giving me the ick.

She thinks she's supposed to treat everything as equal and everyone as valid but realises that she actually has an innate sense of what's attractive and what's not and that clashes with the ideology too.

If someone I’m dating calls my healthy hobby cringe, I’d politely invite them to leave. So just leave.

This is a hilarious find, so much coping

I wonder if it's because you see it as a juvenile hobby. And your intuition/instincts associate it with someone who is socially and emotionally underdeveloped.

how is consooming shit and putting it on a shelf a hobby

LMAO even post wall desperate "dating over thirty" foids aren't desperate enough to entertain a man child funko-fãggot.

“People” who are obsessed with collecting shit are just a lower life form known as consoomer.

Consooming things are never a hobby.

But I thought we were supposed to let people enjoy things

my husband collects and paints warhammer models. You wouldn’t guess that by looking at him lol. But yup he does. I don’t mind, He does have a display but it’s in a spare room we made into a study/game room. I didn’t think i’d be okay with it, but honestly it suits the room and he is a fairly decent painter.

He’s outdoorsy, active, fit and attractive hardworking intelligent, very charismatic and active etc etc so it comes off as a surprise that he has such a nerdy hobby, but he has a very creative side and that is one of those primary releases for him. He is adamant that everyone should have a creative hobby and active hobby. which makes sense. he could have a lot worse hobbies or activities he persues. plus our girls love the models, and I love watching him let them “help” and spending time doing anything he loves with them and how excited they are.

Something tells me her so-called attractive, fit, outdoorsy, charismatic husband who also collects rightoid funko pops is just another reddit cuck.

I hate funkopops with the passion of a thousand burning stars.

They are so hideously ugly, there's no art to them. They are the lowest possible quality one can make of a figure of a popular character. I have seen children's drawings with more artistic integrity than any funkopop figure. If you're going to collect figures at least do what I do, collect unpainted minis and learn to paint them. I may be a miserable shut in but at least i've learned some artistic skill out of it.

thanks for listening to my rant about how much I hate funkos

Disney. Everywhere. Photos from Disney world trips in Disney themed photo frames. Disney themed dolls in the living room and a whole guest room full. Every single Disney twist of a popular board game, she owned it. She handed me a cup of water in a Daisy Duck themed cup. Pretty sure her dog’s collar were branded with Disney characters.

Female equivalent?

It is better than him collecting womens underwear or copies of Martha Stewart living. I mean I collect certain things but not to the point of obsession. Funko pops can be fun like having all Seinfeld characters or Harry Potter limited edition. My parents really like Godzilla it was an inside joke of theirs and they can't let it go. My dad likes motorhead so I got him the Lemmy pop rocks.

...why does this guy frame the alternative to collecting funko pops as collecting women's underwear?

Funko Pops? Oh come on now lol. I was imagining creepy af porcelain dolls based on Op.

Nude anime figures was where mine went.

Yup I thought hentai anime loli pillows and the like.... But all this freakout over Funko pops? Darn...

I think I'd judge them more for choosing Funko Pops instead of higher quality nicer looking figurines

Funko Pops are just like the most weird looking things to me

It also doesn't help that the only Funko Pop collectors I've met were all the same exact type of "Crypto Bro" who is obsessed with NFTs and the like

Before OP's edit, some people were speculating that it was legos or precious moments figurines, lol

This reeks of the old days where nerdy or geeky hobbies and fandoms were ick and people avoided them because “what’s the point?”

I’m not a fan of funkos, personally. They are incredibly popular in the realm of nerdy / geeky fandoms, though.I do have a couple that people have gotten me. My kid plays with them, mostly. That being said, they’re no more pointless than literally any other collection. What is the purpose of art, music, stamps, records? It’s just enjoyment and a conne []

The old days?

Like how many funko pops are too many? I have two on my bookshelf to add flair to my zoom backdrop

lmao this dude flexes on zoom using funkopops

I collect my cats' whiskers and put each one in it's own tiny jar.

cool story bro

People need advice on the stupidest shit here. Analyze your own thoughts and if you don't want to date them because of a toy collection then don't.

Exactly, I didn't think Funko collecting, let alone any kind of collecting, would be a turn off to anyone. Today I learned. I'm sorry OP, but that guy deserves better than you.

suddenly asking reddit stupid shit is a problem

We have around 50 in our house, between partner and I they are easy birthday gifts and Christmas gifts and we have seasonal ones too. They may seem like a nerdy/boner killer for some but if you plan on sticking around have a look at them and find some you like. Me and my partner are both 30s going Into 40s with no intention of taking them down.

it's the aunt who sends you funko pops

people on the internet still think Funko Pops are weird???

some people in the thread had never heard of them

I have this exact problem. Thank you for validating my feelings, I'm glad I'm not alone.

I had a severe pout of noooo reading this and kept repeating the word—I’m with you

Let me guess.

Those funko pop things? Mass produced poorly made pieces of over priced plastic so many losers think are investments.

>I would just be worried it's Funko Pops.

They get weird about them having value one day and it's basically a beanie baby

There are a bunch of comments from people saying they dated a "collector" guy, and he ended up making less money while they worked more hours to pay for their home/appartment, and he flooded it with more and more of his stuff while treating them like an annoying mom and would cry and throw fits when asked to sell some of their collectibles, and eventually became abusive.

SHOW MORE

Funkos are just fricking ugly too. You can’t take them out of the box and they just stare at you with lifeless eyes. I collect figures of a specific anime girl and while that makes me an r-slur at least the average person would admit they look nice.
