Funko Pops, to me.

I understand that some of them are fairly overpriced, but I also really like them as is. It doesn't work on all characters, but it sometimes work on a lot and there's so much representation and variety that it's good to have a few.

If people want to talk about waste of plastic and vinyl, they should bark at the companies who make teeny tiny figurines that serve no purpose and have so little detail that spending any money on them is a waste.

The Pontiac Aztek. It had awesome features I'd love to have in my car today. Tailgate with molded seats and cup holders. Speakers facing out of the back. A cooler. Foldable and removable rear seating. MP3 cd player from the factory.

Also, Funko Pops deserve more hate than they get. But I don't like figures of any kind, I collect staplers.

The ending of Battlestar Galactica.

Mass Effect 3's (ultimate) ending:

I get it. I get that after a series of EXCELLENT games that touted meaningful choices, "select an ending video" was lame.

Were there better ways it could have been done without planting an infinite "tree of death" taking into account every player's individual choices from the entire trilogy? Sure!

I'm sad that this resulted in things like death threats and crap, from people who obviously have no idea what game developers do for a living. They obviously didn't deserve that.

The added "green ending" still gets hate even. It was fine. The game was fine. It told a story and was a blast to play through. (Even despite EA's constant executive meddling!)

I wish it wasn't profitable to whip people into riotous frenzy over such things.

I don't think they're a problem at all. I didn't buy any lol.

Everyone wants to talk predatory, but for some reason admitting you might be taken in by consumerist garbage might be a bit too much.

I'm not the problem!

mountain of tacky crap

I was surprised when I learned that Pikmin 3 is often disliked or even hated. It's shamelessly my fave game of the series. I get that the story is shorter than it should be and it's more linear but it has this charm that's unmatched, and I enjoy the graphics style so much that it inspired several facets of my artstyle even. Also the mission mode is just the right difficulty and a ton of fun!

Online sellers usually refuse to deal with funkos because the people who collect them are way too picky and hard to deal with.
