What is it about Pops that leads people into dumping so much money into them?

Like I know the hobby in general is a big money dump, but Funko Pop stories like this aren't uncommon. We've seen photos of people who had to have their credit cards and bank accounts taken by relatives/spouses to avoid falling further into debt. How the fuck do you fall so deep into this that you spend thousands of dollars on these shitty little vinyls?

The way I see it, it's sort of a rabbit hole thing for people who never knew they had hoarding/collector tendencies. Funko Pops brought easily digestible geek collectibles into the limelight for a lot of normies, and I feel like for some people it opened the floodgates. And once that happened, they had no idea how to stop it.

they are literal autists who just need to collect them all, it's Funkos because they are popular and acceptable, it could be anything else

It’s been a /toy/-ism for Kamen Riders for years, but going by the context, I guess it’s become the new buzzword for “someone I don’t like.”

Only to have the mods ban me for reporting it, well, you'd probably have better sense than me and just leave. If I bother to respond and argue, its an instant ban.

>>6948281
Is that why they remove every post defending trump and give out 3 day bans, but leave the guy that rants about politics alone, never banning or even removing the posts?
