Funko Collector Versus Gunpla Collector

notice how the funko collector has to put himself in the frame, this is the key difference. He is an icon of consumption and narcissism. The gunpla collector does not insert himself, he says "look at my little dudes I made" humbled from sanding nubs and placing the eye stickers What's the difference

A man kneels proudly in front of a huge Funko Pop collection, while shelves of carefully assembled Gundam model kits appear beside him. The joke contrasts perceived consumerist narcissism with the hands-on humility of building and customizing Gunpla, exaggerating the difference between the two collecting hobbies as a reaction to debates about toy collectors.
