>>7163047Love or hate it the end listings on most 2010 Pops clear earnings that TY’s didn’t have even before the bubble pop in that five year run.
That said what killed the Beanie’s was incompetence of the company. Funko never implyies them as valuable, they just let the collectors infer that on themselves. Also another factor is they don’t shit their pants when a dip in sales occurres. What lead to the TY2000 scam was sales took a small hit and they didn’t like it, thus making a blunder of a move to drum up sales as “the end” of the line. Funko just went “ok, data shows our biggest buyer atm is women between 20 and 40, what are some things that demographic would buy?” And climb back up with little effort, also the sea of licenses they get now ensures they will always have a purpose.
