Funko Pops, to me.

I understand that some of them are fairly overpriced, but I also really like them as is. It doesn't work on all characters, but it sometimes work on a lot and there's so much representation and variety that it's good to have a few.

If people want to talk about waste of plastic and vinyl, they should bark at the companies who make teeny tiny figurines that serve no purpose and have so little detail that spending any money on them is a waste.

Online sellers usually refuse to deal with funkos because the people who collect them are way too picky and hard to deal with.

"collectible" little vinyl figures from all sorts of franchises. TV shows, anime, video games etc.

It's a "collectible" piece of plastic that looks like a fat chibi, square headed version of some tired character from pop culture. The only people that own them are psychic vampires.
