Funko - Donate Excess Pop! Collectibles, Don't Throw Them Away!

The maker of the Funko Pop! collectibles plans to toss millions of dollars' worth of its inventory, after realizing it has more of its pop culture figurines than it can afford to hold on to.

Waning demand for the pop culture vinyl toys, combined with a glut of inventory, is driving the loss as the company hits a financial rough patch.

The inventory has filled the company's warehouses to the brim, forcing Funko to rent storage containers to hold the excess product. And now, the product is worth less than it costs to keep on hand.

Some think the Funkos should be donated instead of dumped. Others say the supposedly worthless batch could be sent to comics stores.

Donating these collectibles is a much better thing to do than simply tossing them in the landfill. Independent comics shops, as well as thrift stores, will be glad to have the revenue from your collectibles. Far too much is being tossed into landfill and wrecking the environment. Please do the right thing.
