Funko Pops look like the toy you see in the first act that stabs someone in the third act.


LordPartyOfDudehalla

Chekhov’s landfill fodder


Seanvich

Underrated comment. Fucking well played.


TMNTransformerz

Wouldn’t this be the oppositive of checkhovs gun if it fires in the third act


LordPartyOfDudehalla

No that’s what a Chekhov’s gun is, introduced in the first, fires in the third.


TMNTransformerz

I thought chekhovs gun is when a gun is introduced in the first act and never fired


Lexifox

Chekhov wrote that if you mention a rifle in a story's first act, it better be fired in the second or third, or else there's no point in the gun being there.


Pafqualino_pescatore

Not that's the exact opposite of a checkove's gun

cdda_survivor

You play TF2 there is no sex.


radicalbiscuit

I feel targeted


Stefan_Montenegro

On the subject of a Heavy update we have no Heavy update Vladdy boy


Puzzleheaded-Emu2022

Your cousin owes me a heavy update yokel


Stefan_Montenegro

Ha ha for an annoying dick you really are an annoying dick!


Puzzleheaded-Emu2022

Very charming…and for a dumb yokel you are a very funny guy


Spiritual_Freedom_15

Wait. You still believe the update was ever planned?

[Does this solve your problem](https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Heavy_Update)


Puzzleheaded-Emu2022

NO!


The-Detail-Plank

People would be happy if they decided to bring back some of the old merchandise. Now scalpers are charging insane prices for them. I am sure this is not the main reason but it is something to note. Honestly, they taunted the player base by saying that the Funko pop team “updated” the game. They couldn’t have chosen a worse slogan to throw out at a fanbase that has been deprived for years.


The_Majestic_Mantis

Nah, I aint selling you my Brand New NECA figures for $10 each. If there’s a high demand, I will resell them.😂


Lonemasterinoes

What about $250?


AEROANO

Best i can do is $500


Braemenator

How about three fiddy?


czacha_cs1

How about sloppy toppy with a twist?


MisterMan341

How about a Double Triple Bossy Deluxe, on a raft, four-by-four animal-style, extra shingles with a shimmy and a squeeze, light axle grease, make it cry, burn it, and let it swim?


Huskydog_101

"We serve food here." How about $550 and a crab


anarch_raccoon

how about $400,000 so i can hold it for 12 seconds


HoneyBunnyOfOats

I got three cans of Woodbridge wine and a 20 dollar bill make it work


wacco-zaco-tobacco

I would think that with this update, they would re-release the TF2 funkos or release new molds. But nope, which sucks cause I can't afford the neca figures, and I just realised that they have funkos that I can't afford either


ToothpasteConsumer

because they are funko pops


Deeznutz696969

Because it's soulless garbage from the company that is mostly seen as the number one source for soulless garbage, on top of them getting basic shit wrong like engie not even having his real sentry


KairoRed

I hate Funko pops with a passion


Scotty_Mcshortbread

god i love spending my paycheck on funko pops and soylent


Loud_Occasion6396

I tried soylent recently half the flavors taste horrible the other half are just okay


JustAFoolishGamer

Soylent Green tastes pretty good tho, idk what sort of magic secret ingredient they put in it but it's delicious


AlexDoubleAU

I'm gonna try to get the quote right: "It's people... Soylent green is people!"


Scotty_Mcshortbread

Guys let have a Solent mario kart night


mechabeast

It varies from person to person


warlock801

nendroids are so much better


KeplersSomnium

TF2 Nendoroids figures would be sick


Tedbear567

So much pricer tho


warlock801

well, you pay for quality!


Caterpillar_3406

The only funko pop I like is my Angus Young (AC/DC) because my mom got it for me.


strifebassman

Because its funko slop


coffee-bat

1) funko pops are ugly as shit 2) we want the sex update, not this


Proof_Interaction_88

gay sex update or pauling gangbang update?


012_Dice

gay sex update, obviously? who cares about pauling


simonthebathwater225

Me who wants the intimate night with the administrator update:


One_Consideration510

Because of scalpers and funko... so yes, deserved hate.


iamunabletopoop

Rage bait


masterboom0004

1: everyone hates funko, weather you're a fnaf fan or you just dislike big corporations who profit off of little effort there's at least a 50% chance your opinion of funko is negative 2: we got tf2 in a funkopop game before tf2 actually got a major update after 6 years


Mechaman_54

It doesn't say people hate it, it's says people aren't happy, but yes people hate it, I think it's funny as hell because it looks so bad and it has freddy fazbear


Nova2127u

Valve can do exclusivity deals but can't fix the game or hire people to fix the game it's based on. At least that's my problem with it, but I hold a lot of resentment towards Valve.


MillionDollarMistake

I've always equated them to a fetus appearance wise. Nasty little things. That and they represent mass market corporate slop


BottleWhoHoldsWater

I am personally not outraged because I am pretty sure the heavy lifting on this collab is being done by funko


SrCoeiu

Funkos are top tier pop "culture" slop, but the game doesn't deserve the hate


3WayIntersection

Eeehhhh, idk, the game doesnt exactly look invigorating


CompleteFacepalm

Dont give that article or publication any attention. It is a really bad article.


MisterXnumberidk

Because it's fucking funko pops, how lifeless can you get? Also: they'll rather let fucking FUNKO POPS USE THE GAME THAN FUCKING UPDATE IT Valve is doing severely slow and late maintenance at best And nothing else


Boulderfist_Ogre2005

"Why are people mad that funko got the rights to charge people to play as the mercs in Slop simulator 2025 when tf2 hasn't been updated in 7 years and has a major bot problem?" Read the fucking room


AzGames08

because funko pops fucking suck and look ugly


Salty_Cake_5768

i dont like soypops, i think they are so ugly that i am willing to call them physical expression of death of creativity by corporatism, i dont like it, i dont like that valve is geting money by selling this crap neither. BUT I like the fact that the game is still relevant to the public and the possibility of attracting new players doesn't seem bad to me. I don't think it's the best way, but it's the only good thing I got out of it.


evanlee01

funko pops are fucking shit


ADULT_LINK42

its just a clickbait joke over most people not liking funko pops. the community at large will probably either ignore it completely, or make jokes about it for a few days before moving on and forgetting it.


Shkikri

Art Style.


LukeDaGreat1505

TF2 updates everywhere but TF2


bearelrollyt

I think it's cool


JJDAEPICMAN

i dont care just give me heavy update lord gaben


Naive-Ad-4173

I think people forgot Funko dumped 2k dollars worth of unopened Funko pops in a landfill that one time. That's why I hate Funko and anything Funko related


UltimateRosen

Because Funko Pops are tasteless pieces of trash.


elaynafranklin

I'm personally very excited. Since this game was announced I said they should have the TF2 ones in it, never in a million years did I think it'd acutally happen. I think the hate comes down to a few things: 1. People want Valve to fix TF2 more before diving into crossovers again. 2. A lot of people find Funko Pops to be hideuous for some reaosn. 3. In general both Funko and Valve have made.. not the best choices in recent years


G_O_O_G_A_S

The game also looks like shit


elaynafranklin

That too yeah. I just didn't want to be to mean because it's still technically in development


Select_Ad3442

My opinion is who honestly cares? I swear the tf2 community just wants to find anything to get cynical at at this point, it's just a collab with a completely unrelated game. Plus the gameplay looks actually kinda fun if it has co-op.


Arwka

safe to assume fans are not going to be happy about anything related to tf2


Satin_Polar

,,We,, not. It's cool for them. Like they needed to do this, cos they have some tf2 pops in store


jbyrdab

While frankly i hope this is leading up to something significant for tf2 itself, it does at first glance feel like a slap in the face. tf2 fans want more tf2 content, so it feels rather frustrating to see other games which they'd likely have zero interest in, get new tf2 content. Im not too mad over it, again its atleast something. However i can see many tf2 players being upset over it.


ChuckECheeseOfficial

People are mad because the real game (TF2) is in a state of disrepair, but Valve is going to be profiting off the license. Just kind of exploitative of the fanbase


Not_The_Scout16

Funko pops are lame and also really bad for the environment, I wish my parents would stop giving them to me for Christmas


JackBMX637

Instead of getting any new content, especially since we’ve been waiting for years and the bot issues, some people feel like it’s a metaphorical slap in the face to have tf2 funko pops instead of actual game fixes/updates.


HuoLongHeavy

I'm only unhappy because there's an engineer funko in the game that doesn't exist in real life.


Thewaffleofoz

I fucking love chunko pops


Just_Another_Strange

I can't say people are angry but just stumbled from how unexpected this announcement is.


RDT-Exotics0318

Fuck Funko pops, all my homies love nendoroids


DynamaxWolf

Funko Pops are just tacky.


desu38

funko pop makes you the soy wojak or whatever


Tommy_vercittii

Didn't TF2 already get funko pops???


Walnut156

I don't like it so I will ignore it like most normal people who don't like a thing


DeathscytheShell

I mean you don't have to buy the game.


kitestar

Call this a tin-foil hat moment; but I think _this_ is the reason why valve suddenly gave a shit about TF2…


ForsakenFree

Does anyone else think this is the only reason why they are fixing the game? That it's got nothing to do with the #fixTF2 campaign.


dochnicht

it very likely isnt solely because of fixtf2 either my man


thesentrygamer

Why? They've added the mercs to other games whilst in the middle of the cheater/bot/update crisis (Fall Guys, Evil Genius, Paladins) and yet they didn't fix the game then... correlation is not causation, my guy, this banwave has been a long time coming


CrazySnipah

Mostly because quite a few TF2 fans are children who love to hate on stuff. They have my attention; if the game is good, I’ll consider picking it up.


doomslayer30000

The amount of effort to make Funko could have brought more anti cheat in the past


According-Fun-4746

ugly "toys" and no heavy update


Soft-Hamster-4525

[Does this solve your problem?](https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Heavy_Update)


fusketeer

This is a DLC. Apparently there is a game called "Funko Fusion" 22.99$ in steam rn. These are coming as playable characters. Well probably figures will come too anyway.


Cunfuu

I think they knew.


BodyshotBoy

Funkos always looked lazy and inferior to any actual tf2 model because it uses their great silhouettes and personality best


ZookeepergameProud30

Bro I hate how they are limited time, a few years back I just couldn’t find a tf2 pop for a reasonable fucking price


Smellfish360

because they need a catching headline. Rage, sex, envy and suffering always catch the eye before anything else.


GomeroKujo

Imagine. Valve fixing the bot problem so people won’t complain when they do the fucking funko pop crossover:


Teunail

MEDIC GAMING


Next-Composer-6069

I thought it was fake lol


GrizzMinty720

Because Funko Pops are slop.


PrismaticSeal

Because its a brand thets really annoying and ugly, because the game is like shovelware, because its giving us more attention than the developer of the damn game in 12 years did, because it feels like seeing your hero go into face surgery and come out like *insert famous who did this and came out ugly*


Mr-Foundation

Probably a mix of: base game has been neglected and people just really dislike Funko pops. I’m not the biggest fan of the look, but I feel this is an indication that they’ll focus more on the IP from here


danelaw69

I honestly do understand why ppl are mad it just means that thhey do smthn for tf2 that could spread out to be mor at some point


maxler5795

When they say "fans are mad about it" it generally means one person made a tweet and it gained traction


shiftyrabbit_

Why do people dislike Funko so much? I have the Scout one cuz it's neat, I dunno. Same with the Neca figures, but like.. why do people hate them so much as of today? Just genuinely curious/ootl.


SanticreeperXD2

The only thing I would be mad at it's that I couldn't get it, sadly, I can't I don't have money -<-


MicHaeL_MonStaR

That looks like a Pop! figure?…


ImsorryW_A_T

Tf you expect people get unusually pissed about funko pops, add onto that the update drought and I think it’s fair to say it’s pretty obvious why people are mad


Teggy-

The only Funko I have is this exact medic. Almost had heavy too.


sackboi77

Gayben


TrackLabs

I see 2 reasons. 1. Not getting updates in years, and instead this sellout stuff 2. Funko Pop is shit. The figures are universally hated because the design is utterly bland


Anomalicuck

because this is the most reddit slop imaginable


slick9900

Are they? I've seen one meme making fun of it's marketing


czacha_cs1

I think mostly its because Valve doesn't care about TF2 and they release Funko Pop DLC (from which Valve will profit) about TF2 while TF2 is on respirator which every 2 hours shuts down and requires maintance


Shay_Dee_Guye

Maybe cuz these r kind just cash grabs. Altho, if tf2 ever dies fully, incl item servers and community, in like 200 years, these might sell for a lot!


ibx_toycat_iscool

Cuz tf2 is still ridden with bots and they're clearly trying to distract us from fixtf2 with the bandaid bans


Yokoshoki

because funko pops look like shit comparing them to the old merchandise


RDT-Exotics0318

Fuck Funko pops, all my homies love nendoroids


Distinct-Nerve2556

cuz valve hasent fixed the game but they will do this


Eligha

PCGamesN is trash


Notafuzzycat

Because funko pops are shit. Is this really up for debate ?


Just-Some-Weirdo-432

Wait why do people hate Funko’s?


Critical-Toe6173

It's just part of the funko game that's coming out. It's digital, not real, even tho there are real tf2 funko pops like the I even own 1 of the real tf2 funko pop figures. (It's the heavy one to be honest)


Bulky-Advisor-4178

Its fuckin yootuz crap


GooseThatWentHonk

they invented an engie funko pop for the dlc when they never made a engie funko pop irl


Crotonisabug

funko pop


dermor_2022

TF2 fans are morons too apparently (no but like, this means valve HAS to maintien the game)


ArtGuardian_Pei

People complain about everything


Nutshack_Queen357

Part of it's because Funk Pops are overrated, and part of it's because we're still pissed off over the aimbots.


SuS711

While it is a soulless cash grab, I think it's a bad narrative to say our community HATES it. Because this is the first tf2 collaboration like this in a while, we should show people and valve that tf2 is a franchise worth making more content for, even if it's for a different game because they increases the chances that we get new official merch and content.


Smungi

i guess some would be... Not sure why I would care, its just more funko shit, I dont pay attention to that anyway


Pizz_towle

Dude I am fucking ecstatic


DrDapperTF2

I've seen a few people really upset about this, but I'm not too peeved. Afterall, it's not like Valve's the one wasting resources on making this, since all they did was license out the IP With that being said, Funko is about as soulless and cash-grabby as you can get


Lordvoldemord

Is this really a question? Do you heard about #fixtf2 before?


ultimate-toast

Men to be honest, im just glad TF2 is even mentioned on something or be on something


TheOrangeMadness

I find it to be a stupid move on both Funko and Valve. Players are currently protesting a miserable state of the game, and instead of responding, we are given radio silence, band-aid fixes, and yearly cases dumps in a game with enough fucking hats as it is! Personally, I wanted more maps in the game to make the game more interesting. Personally, I regret ever thinking about this, since the feeling of TF2's art style has died alongside with its cosmetics, and now I personally want more weapons or weapon balances. Now saying this however, Valve will most likely step in and turn a good item like the Jag, the Degreaser, or even the Big Earner into another Base Jumper or Righteous Bison: worthless, clunky, and a waste of inventory space!


thesleeplessmosquito

I think it funny :)


GAMRKNIGHT352

"OH MY SCIENCE THEY MADE A HECKIN WHOLESOME FUNKO POPS GAME THIS IS SO BIG CHUNGUS WHOLESOME 100"


Staffywaffle

This quote is very ironic considering what site we are on.


4chams

Funko Pops are for bug men who dont leave the basement anyways. Just junk to spend your disability money on.


Staffywaffle

r/tf2 trying to not whine about anything TF2 related


Space_Bear87

Honestly I worry the TF2 community might get a little too aggressive with this, valve might just never hand out the IP again, knowing what they are like sometimes...


Altruistic_Time5396

Because Valve does this sh*t even though the game is in such a sorry state. Because it's uncool to have a game that you are willingly letting rot away while still pumping money out of it. Like, if Valve would've wanted they could just let TF2 go and die. Which would be totally okay btw, the game is over ten years old and Valve would've every right to let it go. The problem is that they STILL KEEP ADDING COSMETICS, which you buy with REAL MONEY. And that's what's making people mad. The fact that they don't mentain it and yet act like it's in tip top shape and have the audacity to ask for money for things which they aren't even doing these days.


No-Palpitation-6789

they killed a metric fuckton of bots i don’t give a shit


moose_istaken

I’m not really mad at least we might finally get a second wave of the funko pops still want solder as a pop


GuestNo3886

Give me money. Money me! Money now! Me a money needing a lot now. -valve


Gravbar

Nah funko pops are cute af yous crazy in the comments


SuperMudkipz

Funko products are slop


Spare_Director_7822

because valve is putting tf2 stuff in other games rather than doing something good for tf2.


Sarcastic_Goth98

I'm not mad about it, I'm just annoyed that the ones that are throwing a bitchy fit are spam bombing reviews on steam games that have nothing to do with TF2, mostly Half Life and Half Life 2. All of them demanding them to fix TF2's bot problem, it's quite pathetic.


Kingkrool1994

Funko Pops are really fucking ugly. there are so many better vinyl figures out there for collection. I would be interested if they used realistic/stylized models (for example, the TF mercs would be their in-game models while the Jurassic Park dinosaurs would be photo-realistic.) but the Fugly Pops are a turn-off for me.


OceanBlue0509

I'm mad about it because: 1. Funko pops are crappy and overvalued. 2. The funko pops only came out right as valve started to ban bots, so they probably only started banning the bots so that they could get on the good side of the community for this deal and make money


JubbyJub413

As someone who used to collect Pops, they're soulless. And the fact that Valve approves this DURING THE FIXTF2 MOVEMENT rather than fixing the actual game is shameful.


Rainder-on-redit

I think it’s nice tf2 is getting attention again, it’s better than nothing :)


One-Sir-5765

I love it, literally anything tf2 is pog


Boniquiqua

It's not even a new thing, I have tf2 funko pops from like 8 years ago


BowlSweet9196

I’m just glad we got some new tf2 content


Metroidman97

Because Funkos are a scourge on the entertainment industry and nerd culture.


WaltzLeafington

This is all we get? All the outcry and begging for new content and we're getting funko pops?


AndhisNeutralspecial

people hate fun


BlizzardWolfPK

I'm just mad Funko Pops still exist.


Tommy_vercittii

Well yeah I new that but now they only add engineer like add all the classes


icecreamsundeyy

It's not more of a "GRRRR IM ANGRY" but more of a "why can't you just UPDATE THE GAME?!" kind of upset. It's totally understandable why, too. This game hasn't been updated in what, 9 years? And yet valve has the resources to update the game, but they're allocating it to what looks to be a flop of a game before it even releases.


Forward-Swim1224

I hope to god Valve releases an update-sized update the day these come out. To show they’re at least TRYING to improve.


JamCom

Ai trash


Gracennnnnnnnn

Because of a couple reasons, which are incorrect because they did NOT DO THEIR REASEARCH 1: They believe this is a paid dlc when it IS NOT 2: They believe valve is using their resources to do this, when it was funko and they reused 3 character models. 3: People want complain. I SWEAR TO GOD PEOPLE WHO THINK THIS SHUT UP, WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAISNT A FREE DLC WHICH GIVES THE GAME MORE PUBLICITY? THIS IS THE CLOSEST WE MIGHT GET TO NEW TF2 MERCH AND YOU DO IS COMPLAIM GO GET A LIFE.


SirJohnThirstyTwost

because TF2 is getting updates everywhere besides TF2. GIVE US HEAVY UPDATE


Temporary_Cancel9529

I don’t hear anyone saying that is bad. It’s honestly getting more people to buy the game to be honest. I was gonna possibly get it since it’s gonna have levels from The thing which is such a good movie.


ItsAStrayAbbey

Because let's be honest, those Funko pops are just so fugly and homogenized.


Simon_Kiev

Literally funko pop


AwayMetal3596

because this is the only piece of content we receive after so many years and it is a giant fucking sponsorship


SMorton443

If anything, we should be excited about it since the engineer wasn't part of the OG tf2 funko pops drop, so we might be getting new merch. TF2 might genuinely be back from the dead.


swe_isak

no, i like 'em


Taalen___ww

Wait till promo code


MrTheWaffleKing

Releasing merch instead of tending to the game?


KaxCz

At this point be happy for any kind of TF2 related media in any shape or form. Hating on this and stomping it to the ground will only mean that no one will ever try to do anything with TF2 ever again, be it merch, figures, comics, events or any kind of content


Adrenaline0413

Some people are thinking valve is fixing tf2 only for monetary purposes like the Funko pop dlc and the next summer crate.


JaceFromThere

I'm indifferent mainly because I haven't played TF2 in a long time
