An hour of people saying “I collected all this other shit, so I figured I might as well collect Funko shit too” mixed in with thirty odd minutes of the actual history of the company. Also like 10 minutes worth of mostly C list celebrities or a "has been" saying “oh it’s crazy people still care about me.”
The editing is bad and choppy. There are some really cringe cuts and transitions. They build an atmosphere like these people are a part of some disaster relief effort, like there is so much tragedy surrounding the people interviewed in this film. The only tragedy is how much time and money some of these people have spent filling voids in their lives.
Funko is acting as if they do so much of this out of the kindness of their hearts showing all these Comic-Con booths, autograph sessions, huge events, acting like everything is being done for free. We all know damn well how much they actually charge people.
Also this is really weird but there’s a seemingly an odd amount of subtle digs at the Trump administration in the interviews. A lot of “in light of recent events,” or “in the current political climate,” or “because of the world we live in today. “ Like these people need these toys to cope.
This documentary is not compelling. It is not particularly interesting. It’s just a really long commercial for Funko products, that tries to pander to nostalgia and emotion to convince you that YOU need to have their product. (I’m not a Funko hater btw. I have like 15)
