    I see it the same as the people that collect those funco pops or whatever. I don’t get that, either. Or collecting plates or old soda cans.

    But, worst case scenario, at least you can wear the shoes if they ever stop being worth money because the government has destroyed the economy and we’re all living in a Mad Max world.

      At least shoes can be used as shoes.

      Funkopops was the ugliest toy line I’ve ever seen get popular until CumCrybaby came along

        I’m 99.99% sure that Funksopop development was based on someone saying at some point, “wait, can we just paint the same injection moulded plastic different ways and people will still want to collect them at a premium price?”

        Though at least they didn’t add the gambling aspect where you don’t know what you’re getting until after you buy it with some rare ones intended to get people to buy way more than the size of the collection.
