Loser: Funko
One year after buying the team at Mondo and just four months after firing most of the main people behind that, Funko was back at Comic-Con as if nothing happened. And to most fans, it didn’t matter. The company still had the biggest booth on the floor and the most sought-after exclusives, with huge crowds all weekend long. And yet, never before has the soullessness of the company been more obvious. The huge booth felt like a threat as it towered over smaller booths and took away space from a bustling Artist’s Alley. The crowds made browsing the booths near impossible. Mondo’s offerings were mostly leftovers from another era. Any excitement was just gone.
