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.

I... I don't think of these at all, I just ignore their existence.

Personally, hating on people who post things on social media that are slightly offensive to others get more hate than they should. We should reach out and try to explain the issue in a civil matter instead of just loosing it because that doesn't make us any better. And if the person doesn't want to understand or care, just ignore them and move on.

Hating on products because either are bad, or underwhelming is ok as these companies know this and clearly don't care because they are already making money off it. However this is only recent due to all the Enshittrification we are getting force fed by these same companies.
