https:\/\/mellzah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Funko-52-of-52-500x375.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s appropriate that Funko&#8217;s logo contains a crown as they are the undisputed kings of the niche pop culture casual collector&#8217;s market (say that five times fast!). I see legions of their creepy blank dead eyes watching me from a surprisingly wide variety of retailers&#8211;not just comic shops and video game stores but also museum gift shops and the occasional grocery store (?!). They&#8217;re\u00a0<em>everywhere<\/em>. They&#8217;re so ubiquitous that somehow even <em>I<\/em> have one and you know how I feel about them because I just called them creepy two sentences ago! And it really makes sense&#8211;they&#8217;ve got a product that taps into nostalgia and is easy to mass produce at a price point that people don&#8217;t think twice about. They&#8217;re like&#8230;licensed beanie babies, except there&#8217;s\u00a0<em>thousands<\/em> of designs from nearly every tv, movie, and game that ever had its moment in the pop culture lexicon. There&#8217;s even a Princess Diana pop figure that you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodhousekeeping.com\/life\/entertainment\/a24527423\/princess-diana-beanie-baby\/\">add to your collection<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Funko&#8217;s brand new world headquarters opened up in Everett in August 2017. Given their massive popularity and its relative proximity to my home,\u00a0 and furthermore knowing I&#8217;ve escorted out of town visitors to the space needle approximately 1,354 times (it&#8217;s a very rough estimate but it\u00a0<em>feels<\/em> right), I knew that I never needed to self-motivate toward the Funko headquarters but that someday I&#8217;d find myself there all the same. And sure enough, less than a year after opening, I found myself inside Funko&#8217;s world.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I do have to say that world is very appealing: candy-colored and larger than life, everything for sale in a setting that feels like its natural environment. Because the company&#8217;s most well known products are all housed in virtually identical packaging, these larger setpieces are vital to create an atmosphere of play rather than of a warehouse. It&#8217;s also in these setpieces that Funko feels less calculated, less (in their own words) focused on &#8220;rapid growth in the licensed gift and novelty world&#8221; and more like a really big fan of that thing that you love&#8211;and not just a fan of media but a fan of fandom, a meta-fandom, if you will<del>, one\u00a0that celebrates a person&#8217;s ability to fork out ten bucks every time they see a slightly different piece of plastic that reminds them of something better they like.\u00a0<\/del> Whew, that might be a speed record for sliding back into\u00a0cynicism!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-99683\" src=\"https:\/\/mellzah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/UagFOkeOcRemsyGkPKh9jyKJ0zk.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;because I know somewhere you can get a lot of it.
