Our thoughts are with the latest round of employees that have been laid off by Funko as the problems at the company continue.
The comparison is made between Pops and Beanie Babies constantly, and while there will be value in Pops for a long time to come, there have been troubling signs at the company itself. Their disastrous foray into NFTs, puzzling release schedules, endless exclusives, and a secondary market full of toxic resellers have all led what was once a fun brand down the toilet in the eyes of many.
All of the pop culture street cred celebrities used to get from having their own Funko Pop went away a long time ago. Common releases rot on shelves, and second-hand stores are full of inventory. Sound familiar? The real nail in the coffin for Funko was going public, which from the day they went live on the trading floor to now, seems symbolic of the company's woes. You can grab a share of their stock for exactly half of what a Pop figure would cost you right now.
