Everyone is a fan of something
Funko was founded in 1998 by businessman Michael Becker, who considered it necessary to popularize conventional vinyl and plush toys, giving customized images a unique appearance, in particular, disproportionately large heads. The toys of popular characters from movies, TV shows, and video games.
Until 2005, the company's products were unknown. But in 2005 the company was bought by current owner Brian Mariotti. He managed to increase the list of manufactured toys, thanks for the signing up the license agreements with Marvel, DC, Lucasfilm. Turnover of the company for several years increased to hundreds of millions of dollars. And Funko products have become extremely popular.
The company produces several lines of toys. The most popular line is "Funko POP!". Vinyl figures with a turning head and so-called "bobble-head" famous all over the world. They're made of high-quality materials. Under proper conditions of use retain their appearance for many years. The range of toys is constantly expanding, at the moment there are approximate of 500 varieties. A lot of figures were based on the famous films from "Star Wars" series. Usually, the release of new episodes and spin-offs, increase the number of toys.
The process of creating each shape is very complicated. Firstly, you need to get permission from the copyright owner, after then, create a sketch on paper and transfer it to a computer program. They make a test sample. Secondly, it`s shown to the owner, and he will make a final decision regarding design. And finally, the model is allowed into production. "Funko POP!" company create a limited edition of toys and sold for a limited period. Then the batch is removed from production. And what is available in the store at the moment, in a year or two, you can`t be able to buy. Therefore, collectors are willing to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for very rare specimens.

A lot of them even take photos with their small "counterparts", which made the series more popular. With them, you can approach the world of cinema even more.

I like their products. They are looking very funny and hilariously. I think that having one on my office desk would be a good idea instead of a rubber duck. On the other hand I don't understand how people may be fans of this toys and collect them.
I don't have any collections. Oh, wait... Does speeding tickets collections count?? :D
They look a little bit weird for me. I don't understand why those toys have such big heads.
I'm not the type of person who likes collecting things because I'm not a fan of any tv-show or movie saga. Also, I'm pretty much sure that those toys are very expensive. For me buying this kind of things is just a simple waste of money.
I think that their "toys" look pretty neat and clean. I wouldn't be ashamed if I had some of those on the display somewhere in my house. They look nice, but that's probably it. We can't really do much with them, so I think that they belong in the category of products which is mostly for collectors. As always, there would be some exceptions, which would buy one or two favourite figures, but I think that the goal of this company is to convince us that the more statues we have, the better.
I don't mind anyone being a collector as a hobby. I think that it is pretty interesting. At the moment I am not collecting anything, but I had a pretty large knives collection in the past. I guess it was just a boy's hobby.
No, I don't.
