Funko raised a higher percentage, but that doesn't mean that it made more.
I'm guessing that it did, but the percentage rising alone doesn't tell me that.
Comic shops are a small part of the overall retail sector for Funkos, and tend to take conservative positions on stock. Comic shops are selective and restock only those Funkos that sell for them. Funko Pop is in trouble because of the characters that don't sell.
You also need to account for the fact that he didn't differentiate between new release Funkos and trade in ones, the profit could mainly be from higher value collectible ones bought at a better margin than the new ones.
When hobby/media stores start upsizing their funko displays, that's a death sentence. It happened to hastings, it's happening to gamestop, and I sure as hell don't want it happening to my LCS'
up and down means nothing without knowing the numbers
It does if you repeatedly go down every year.
>12 stores in Florida
>Funk Pop beats manga
This is not the win we wanted, but it's the win we deserved.

>We're getting dabbed on by fricking Funko Pops.
And yet that still won't stop them from becoming landfill
If funko sell more than comics and still end up like this what happens to comics?
Stores as back issues
You do know what back issues are right?
not even the landfill wants comics ;_;
To discount longboxes
You can recycle paper.
And it's still beating manga and comics
modern manga and anime are fricking shit too, i hate zoomers
Why don't the big 2 do more anime adaptations?
way better than Marvel and DC
Wish that was true
It is true, even trash like Boruto and Dragonball Super is better than Spider-Man getting cucked.
no, not the manga popular in the west
Those store sell plenty of old manga, which has more to offer than capeshit.
I thought funkos were not selling well and they had to destroy a warehouse
Overestimating how big your inventory needs to be doesn't always mean not selling well, especially if your product has a good margin.

Why don't anyone want to read indies?
Most indies are wank unfortunately.
Hard to find out about them without literally researching comic books. Who has the time for that beyond hardcore hobbyists?
>Get gifted a Funko Pop
>Think, 'oh man, i hate these. I really don't even want this, what a waste of plastic'
>Say, 'Oh wow thanks anon!'
>Repeat

My comic shop has shrunk the Funkos down to a tiny shelf thank frick, hopefully Americans end up doing the same
Because Funkos don't butcher the characters people like as much as modern comics do.
