In a shocking twist that no one could have predicted (
except maybe every collector that has seen entire walls of Funko Pop! figures at every single conventions over the last few years),
Funko has announced that its sales are down and that there's "
substantial doubt" about its ability to survive another year. In short:
your Funko Pops might outlive Funko itself...
ToyFarce investigated...
Collectors across the globe were left speechless (
and then immediately checked eBay to see if their flocked, glow-in-the-dark exclusives had gone up in value): "
We just never saw this coming" said local collector Daniel, standing in front of a wall of 400+ unsold
Pop! figures.
According to
Funko's latest financial report, the company's sales have dropped
by double digits this year, and they're facing "
significant financial challenges". Some fans have already begun to refer to the situation as "
The Funko-calypse".
In a desperate attempt to turn things around, insiders say Funko may be planning a new line called "
Funko Pop! Final Edition", the same figures, but with a limited-time sticker reading "
Before It's Too Late".
Other rumored recovery strategies include: A "
Pop! Clearance Collection", featuring the same characters you didn't buy the first time, now with
even dustier boxes, or only selling their smaller
Bitty Pops figures because "
if the company gets smaller, maybe the problem does too".
Meanwhile, collectors online are already arguing about how to display a "
defunct brand" in their Detolfs (Detolves?). "
Do we put them next to the Beanie Babies or the NFTs?" asked one concerned forum user.
One hopeful fan added: "
Maybe if we all buy one more Pop, we can save them!", to which another argued: "
That's what we said in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021".
At press time,
Funko was reportedly considering releasing a
Funko Pop! of
Bankruptcy Itself, featuring a sad smile and an empty wallet.

One day, Pops might stop popping...
