      Even besides the plastic aspect I don’t get why people like it so much. Even if you like the IP that the figurines are of they look like shit.

        Using the same labour and materials they could produce normal looking figures instead of those deformed abominations, which would be actually pretty fine, having so many different ones in the same scale and series.

        It’s crazy how they found a way to sell toys little useless plastic things to adults. Capitalism is all about expanding the markets and finding new consumers, like how they found a way to market cigarettes to children.

        Edited toys out because actual toys one can play with can be cool.

    You prefer having plastic toys (that actually don’t do anything) over having humans live decently and be happy and free. Nothing else to add

        Funny thing is 99% of the “plastic crap” is literally built in a communist country, which outcompetes the west, and is increasingly doing so in all fields, and produces more ethically (though that is also a matter of the world system we live in), efficiently, and environmentally than the west.

        The Chinese proles are increasingly eating better, living better, having better stuff at cheaper prices, having better homes (in contrast to the west where home ownership is out of sight for an increasingly large share of the population), and it’s all thanks to communism, to the dictatorship of the proletariat being upheld, and delivering such wondrous results for its people.

    I think that account is affiliated with or a member of the “PatSoc”/MAGA-Communism “movement”

    That being said, and I realize the humor in this meme, but funko pops are literally made and sold in China
