I've never bought a Funko and I would never consider those figures a work of art, but there's something to be said for a simple medium that meshes so effectively with any IP. You can show yourself as a fan of a TV drama, comic book, and sports team on the same shelf. Something as detailed as Banpresto is likely to clash with other decor/figures. That said, some of their work (especially on real people) is bafflingly low-effort. Case in point, see the comparison between New Jersey Devils star player Taylor Hall and his Funko recreation: Real life: https://specials-images.forbesimg.com/imageserve/5be4813ca7ea4370591679a0/416x416.jpg?background=000000&cropX1=0&cropX2=408&cropY1=3&cropY2=411 https://specials-images.forbesimg.com/imageserve/5be4813ca7e...
