Funko Flops: A $41 Million Loss and a Stock Bust!

Funko is hitting the news for all the wrong reasons, as the Everett-based collectibles giant just reported a jaw-dropping $41 million loss in the second quarter of 2025. That’s a far cry from last year’s $5.4 million profit, and it’s got collectors and investors scratching their heads. Interim CEO Mike Lunsford is pointing fingers at economic uncertainty and tariffs, which sounds like the latest plot twist in a corporate thriller! But let’s be honest, we all just want our favorite figures without the drama, right?

Sales have dropped from $247.7 million to $193.5 million this quarter, and the aftermath has sent Funko’s stock tumbling over 35%. Shares closed at $3.66 but opened the next day at a disheartening $2.35. Ouch! Just when you thought your collection of vinyl heroes was the safest bet. It seems the only thing popping in the Funko universe these days is their stock price—in the wrong direction!

With Funko in this financial mess, it raises the question: will they rebound like a superhero, or is it game over for our beloved Pops? Collectors and fans alike are left wondering if their favorite figures will soar once more or if they’re just another casualty of a tough economy. What are your thoughts on the future of collectibles in uncertain times? Let’s keep the conversation going!
