You Are Reading :30 Hilarious Funko Pops That Make No Sense
Funko Pop figures already get a lot of flak from the general populace. Why? Is it because they like to buy figures that are hundreds of dollars and Funko Pops cost only about twenty? Is it because they just see it as a fad that’s going to end? Or is it because of lists like these that feed into the fact that some of these figurines are just odd looking?
Whatever the case, the fact is that the Funko Company has actually existed for about 19 years. The Funko Pop figurines we know of today really brought the bobble-head company into the limelight though. It started with seeing one or two figures at your local game store or comic shop and today some of these shops just have a wall dedicated to Funko Pop.
There are collectors out there too, people who buy Funko Pops and keep them in their boxes to keep them in mint condition. Does that mean that maybe seventy years from now, these figurines could be sold on eBay or auctioned off for hundreds depending on their rarity and condition?
Who’s to say, but there are hundreds or even thousands of different Funko Pops out there. If a fandom so much as breathes on the internet, their show, game, or comic will likely get a Funko Pop line. Maybe some characters should not get one though, as you’ll see on this list.
30 Potts And Chip From The Beauty And The Beast Remake
You are way better off with the original movie version Funko Pops. A huge trend on this list is that a lot of these figurines have nightmare eyes. Some characters just are not meant to have black voids for eyes.
Chip looks like he’s ready to take you in your sleep.
They also have mouths, which a lot of Funko Pops don’t have. It’s supposed to be cute, like Hello Kitty. Instead, we got supple Mrs. Pott lips and a creepy Chip grin.
29 Crystal Hastune Miku
When to comes to Japan’s virtual pop stars, Vocaloids, there is a lot of expensive merchandise. Akihabara holds Hatsune Miku figures worth hundreds upon hundreds of dollars (ten thousands upon ten thousands of yen there) due to their detail. That’s not to say there isn’t anything wrong with a regular Hatsune Miku Funko Pop figure either, and it exists. But this crystal version looks like a production mistake. It’s less Hatsune Miku and more of “crystal” that actually just looks like glitter jello. This was a Hot Topic exclusive.
28 Donkey From Shrek
Between the void unfeeling eyes to the smile of crooked donkey teeth, this figurine is nightmare fodder. Donkey is supposed to be an annoying goofball, so the smile makes sense but there is something about the way this Funko Pop was designed that just makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up.
I don’t want this Donkey anywhere near my swamp.
Funko Pops are supposed to be cute but this version proves that the line between unsettling and cute is a thin one.
27 Dory From Finding Dory
Now this one is just funny. It’s like someone took a brick and was like, “Dory?” They painted it and slapped some of the biggest dark pools they could find for eyes on its face. This is one of the most unfeeling and robotic portrayals of a Disney character ever. That’s not a fish. That’s a submarine disguised as a fish. That’s far more believable. Dory is a character so full of life, how could Funko Pop do this to her?
26 Bill Cipher From Gravity Falls
To be fair, Bill Cipher figurines are not so common. His design is very simple, but the Funko Company failed him already by giving him a black eye. He has only one eye and it’s his most defining physical characteristic so changing it ruins the figure.
Instead of looking like a living thing, now he just looks like a cereal chip with a hat and bowtie.
The rest of the Gravity Falls collection looks nice and alive at least. You’re better off buying Mabel or Dipper.
25 Bad Ape From War Of The Planet Of The Apes
If you’re a fan of the Planet of the Apes series, you’re better off buying a different Funko Pop figure for this franchise like Maurice or Caesar. Bad Ape is a very entertaining character but this figure doesn’t do him justice. Instead of looking like an ape, he looks like an alien. He is far less hairy than the other apes in the series, sure, but the translation of that really failed in this figure. At least the winter jacket is cute.
24 Pac-Man
When a character’s very eyes are a better representation of the entire physical body of the character than the figure itself, you need to rethink your design. No, they knew what they were doing.
A defining trait of Pac-Man is that he is round, but Funko Pops can’t be round, they must be square!
So let’s make his eyes tiny Pac-Mans because that makes sense. There are far better figurines out there that are truer to the Pac-Man formula with normal eyes and a round body.
23 Butters From South Park
Butters might be the least exciting Funko Pop figure on this list. His head looks like a giant flesh cube on a tiny blue body. South Park is known to be raw and its animation is basically as simple as it gets, but the merchandise does not have to reflect that part. It’s meant to reflect personality. For example, there are other much more expressive South Park figures that Funko made like Professor Chaos and Cartman. The mouth and the eyes just make this figurine soulless.
22 Flik From A Bugs Life
Nevermind, smiling makes these figures worse. They aren’t supposed to have mouths because they will eat us the moment we turn around. Funko took their mouths away for our own protection. Flik looks like one of those toys you camera zoom on at night during a horror movie when the child has gone to bed. His face is the face of an incoming jump-scare. It’s then that we learned that the crickets from A Bugs Life were just trying to save humanity from the coming of this Funko Pop.
21 Pinkie Pie From My Little Pony
Apparently exclusive means they did something to the character that makes them shiny or glittery. With Hatsune Miku it was glitter jello, not “crystal.”
With Pinkie Pie, she’s probably about to go on a vacation to Fury Road because she is looking shiny and chrome in a bad way!
She looks like she’s made of steel and if you dropped her from the top floor of a tower, she’d break concrete. Also, she looks more like an alien than a pony with that tiny snout.
20 Skipper From Madagascar
Cash signs appeared in the eyes of many company faces when they saw what a hit the penguins were in Madagascar. At least they never became near as bad as Minions. This “cheesy” version of Skipper just looks dirty. Is it supposed to be cute or funny? It just looks ugly. Keep the snacks, just get that dust off. Or change the color at least. It looks like sand sticking to his body. I just want to take a wet cloth and get that dust off.
19 Pete From Kingdom Hearts
Without the obvious Kingdom Hearts’ style clothing, fans would never think this was Kingdom Hearts’ Pete due to what they did to his face.
You need to actively pause the game if you want to see that man’s mouth close, so it’s odd that Funko Pop closed his hippo-like mouth.
Also what happened to his eyes? Did Maleficent finally lose it and slap the sight out of him? Is he possessed? This design is a bit far off from the Pete we know from the games.
18 Pearl From Steven Universe
This isn’t Pearl, or as fans affectionately call her, “Bird Mom.” We see a demon begging for release from its plastic torment. Its mouth is open. What’s it trying to tell us? It’s easy to imagine setting it down in one room and then coming back to see it’s not where you left it and somehow moved somewhere else even though you are home alone. You know how they sell haunted dolls online now? We need haunted Funko Pops. That’s a new modern level of horror.
17 Bojack Horseman
Bojack Horseman is an excellent show with a poor amount of merchandise. To be fair, the other Funko Pop figures of characters like Princess Carolyn, Mr. Peanutbutter, Todd, and Diane are very cute.
Like in his show, Bojack Horseman got the short end of the stick from fate.
Horses just should not have small snouts. It didn’t work on Pinkie Pie or Bojack Horseman and those are basically as opposing horse forces as we’re going to have so now we know the Funko Pop formula won’t work for any horse.
16 Sailor V From Sailor Moon
Ninety percent of this figurine’s face is its mask. Your grandparents would probably look at this Funko Pop and not even think it’s human. They’ll think it’s a Pokémon. They’ll be like, “Is that Pikachu?” because the mask is so big and it has no mouth so it no longer resembles a human. The evidence of humanity is the body but that is mostly covered up by an enormous head because Funko Pop was a bobble-head company and doesn’t know any better.
15 Rigby From The Regular Show
Here is yet another husk of a beloved character. Rigby looks like he is on drugs. He could be a rabid squirrel to anyone who hasn’t watched the show.
Those dead eyes are begging for a sweet release from his plastic prison.
What if we get a Funko Pop movie? Wouldn’t that be the scariest and weirdest thing? It’s not impossible now that we’ve had a Lego and Emoji movie, not that those are anything alike in quality. Still please don’t make Funko Pop movie. It won’t be good.
14 Walking Dead’s Bicycle Girl
Leave it to Funko Pop to take a character that is known for only one scene in a television series and making a figurine out of it. To be fair, the scene was significant since she’s a walker that Rick has an emotional discussion with. On the other hand, massive detail usually goes into zombie figurines. Bicycle girl was known for being so gnarly because half of her body is missing. The make-up job was phenomenal. This figure feels passionless for such a significant walker.
13 Remy From Ratatouille
I feel a little heartless to berate a character as wholesome as Remy but he just has those soulless eyes and creepy Funko Pop smile.
That chef hat is necessary because he’d look like any other rat without it since his art style is forced to join the ranks of Funko molds.
It could be cute at a restaurant but a restaurant at night? No. Also for a collector item, he looks a lot like just a cheap kid’s toy.
12 Sesame Street’s Grover
When it comes to characters for little kids, exaggerated proportions are everything. Sesame Street knows this so they make their characters very wacky looking. Bright colors, long limbs, and funky shapes are their character game plan. Funko has to change those wacky proportions though. Grover now looks more like a blue Elmo without his long spaghetti arms and legs. If the box didn’t say “Sesame Street,” some fool could think its Monsters Inc. Also, Grover’s box image looks like it craves blood.
11 Leela From Futurama
Taking away the overstated Futurama mouths and moving Leela’s single eye into the middle of her now unfeeling face does not make a flattering figurine. Why is her eye half shut? Is she sleepy?
It seems to draw more attention than it already would since it’s a black void in the center of her face.
This figurine’s nose doesn’t even look like a nose. It looks like a flesh lump that’s trying to hold the massive single eye. The laser gun is cool though.
Writer, author of The Awei Series, and cat foster parent. Her favorite games include Dragon Age, Pokémon, Final Fantasy XIV, Team Ico games, Ōkami, and RPG maker horror games. She probably would be a Fairy/Ghost type Pokémon Trainer.
