Hasbro and Funko, you had better be reading, this is terrible and EVERYONE thinks so

But to what end? What is the purpose of these becoming accepted in normal society?
I thought the goal of normalizing NFTs was merely to in turn normalize transactions involving Crypto currency. But the link ti Crypto currency isn't even made here.

I'm just looking forward on some server crash that will take all that virtual nothingness into the grave, making people who invested in physical goods like gold and titanium laugh.

I'm not surprised, the Funko fanbase and resellers were enough for these to sell without a single Transformers fan buying in. Anything to get their hands on rare Pops.

And we already knew how... gullible they are. A few months back in a Facebook group I'm in, someone was asking if they thought they should get their Funko collection insured--and I asked them if they learned nothing from the Beanie Baby craze in the 90s?

I'm looking forward to the time when the Pop craze will crash and burn, punishing all those who only seek to profit from it.
