[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 9796720, member: 4534"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://rollingout.com/2025/11/08/funko-announces-concerns-companys-future/[/URL] Sales are down, their debt is high, and they're hemorrhaging money. I own exactly one Funko product and it's a Cthulhu figure that's been sitting on my desk at work for about ten years now. Occasionally a coworker will notice him and ask what he is. Not the IT people. My IT people know who Cthulhu is because they're all a bunch of nerds. Occasionally I've seen some hostility towards Funko online. Mostly in regards to their products being cheap plastic that's just going to end up in a landfill. But their presence in many places, especially geeky type places, has been near ubiquitous for a number of years now. And no matter how you might feel about Funko, this isn't a good time for anyone to be worried about their job. (Is it ever a good time?) Over the years I've run across a few Funko figures I considered purchasing, but ultimately decided against it because I have enough junk in my house. A lot of that junk being miniatures I've painted myself which is kind of close to Funko figures. I always thought their demise was inevitable. They're like collector plates, Beanie Babies, Cabbage Patch Kids, and it's just the fate of collectibles to one day not be collectible. [/QUOTE]
