Funko Pop: figures the whole world is crazy about
Funko is a well-known American company that makes very distinctive vinyl figures with big eyes and rectangular heads. That's more than 8 thousand characters, a business worth $686 million a year. Funko Pop figures are loved by both small children and quite adult collectors (according to the company, there are now 36% of them).
The most expensive figures are sold for thousands of dollars. And some people have more than a thousand such figures, and even set aside a special room in the house for them. Funko Pop toys are sold in more than 25 thousand stores. These are the most popular figures in the whole world. And the lowest prices and the biggest selection are, of course, on the official website of Funko Pop in America and on the company's official page on Amazon.

The history of the Funko Pop USA brand
Funko was founded in 1998 by collector Mike Becker in his home in Washington state. He searched for several months, but never found a piggy bank with the face of the character he wanted. So he decided to simply buy the license and make such a product himself. It turned out that no one was interested in this character (the mascot Big Boy from the restaurant chain), and the piggy banks were not selling at all. The company almost filed for bankruptcy, but still released another product — bobblehead figures of Austin Powers. And those, unexpectedly, were a huge hit: more than 80,000 of them were sold. That was the beginning of the famous Funko Pop figures.
The next characters were the Grinch, Winnie the Pooh, and mascots from popular children's treats. All in the same style — compact, small, with a bobbling head. Finally, in 2011, the Funko Pop figures we know today appeared: vinyl, big-headed, very cute, with beautiful round black eyes. And they were meant not for a car, but for a shelf at home, so their heads finally no longer bobbled.
By 2012, the new toy line had broken all records: it sold for $20 million. For many people in America (and even Russia!), buying new Funko Pop figures became no less important than standing in line for the latest iPhone.
Why are Funko Pop so popular?
First of all, these are very inexpensive toys. In America they cost an average of $8 (490 rubles). At the same time, they are made very well, and they look great in almost any interior. Secondly, Funko Pop let you be part of your favorite fandom. Did you like “The Mandalorian”? Well, here are figures with all the characters from it! Do you love “The Witcher” or “Harry Potter”? Funko Pop has toys with both heroes and villains. And when guests come to your home, you immediately have something to talk about with them.
New figures are created through brainstorming and feedback via various social networks. After the idea for a toy has been approved, it goes to the Chief Sculptor and the Creative Director to approve the design. One of the main aspects of Funko Pop’s business (and factors behind its success) right now is tracking the popularity of certain models and characters. Which face from which TV series or which music group people will want to buy, and which character is already “not what it used to be,” so its production can be slowed down. From the concept stage to the product stage on store shelves, Funko now takes 70 days. The timeframe is unrealistically short, but it still needs to be forecast in advance.
The head of the company says that the main reason for such great success of Funko Pop is precisely the ability to adapt quickly, to have a perfect sense of timing, to give people what they want right at the present moment. And a choice among any popular faces — from movies, games, the world of music, superheroes, everything that interests and captivates people.
And, of course, a big factor in Funko’s popularity is the distinctive chibi style of the figures, borrowed from Japan. The appearance of the toys is appealing to both children and adults.
