Bungie hates my wallet aka Destiny Funko Pops (Destiny)

It's official. Bungie and Funko have teamed up to decimate my wallet. I'm a huge funko collector and today they announced Destiny Pops.

I'm screwed....

Hopefully this will help explain my problem. These are all prototypes of Funko Halo pieces I've collected. The color pieces are 1/5 ever produced and the white ones are 1/2 ever produced. I have more money into these pieces than I care to admit... and now with Destiny pieces on the horizon I feel BAD for my wallet and sanity.

I had to google what a Funko Pop is and after looking I'm still not sure. Bobble head?

They are mainly just a 4" tall stylized vinyl figure. Some licenses have required them to be bobbleheads instead of vinyl figures though.

Vinyl? How many RPMs do they play at?

That is an impressive collection there. The rarity level is what does it for me.
To be honest, personally I've never quite understood the attraction to these kid-like cartoony Pop figures. I can't think of a way I could tactfully display them without some level of grown-up embarrassment (The helmeted Spartans are not quite as bad as some of the other Pop's). In my opinion, those Mega Block Kubro(w)s fall in the same category, for some reason they just appear hideous to me.

Do I take myself too seriously? Possibly. Am I stuck behind some sort of cultural barrier? Maybe? Its one of the reasons I've not gotten down with that whole loot crate trend, seems like there's usually always some cartoony kid-like collectible or toy, or an awful shirt I would never wear, thrown in or chanced.

Your collection really is quite impressive though.

I hate those goddamn things.

They represent what the darker side of fandom to me, the "collect them all!" mentality.

Ugh. More power to you if you like them, but they aren't for me.

Unfortunately for him, all his bobble-pop dolls are only 398 Light. He'll have to buy them at least twice more to hit max Light level... and that only sticks until the Destiny 2 versions are released. :p
