Funko Pops, to me.

I understand that some of them are fairly overpriced, but I also really like them as is. It doesn't work on all characters, but it sometimes work on a lot and there's so much representation and variety that it's good to have a few.

If people want to talk about waste of plastic and vinyl, they should bark at the companies who make teeny tiny figurines that serve no purpose and have so little detail that spending any money on them is a waste.

The hate was so intense it caused the publisher to disavow the series entirely.

The game wasn't exactly flop money-wise, it sold about what they predicted it would and at least one big DLC was heavily hinted in the game itself. What really killed it is the fucking 2018-2020 era in computer gaming when multiplayer shooters propagated like crazy and idiot doomsayers and other marketing "experts" prophecised end of not only RPG genre but single player games in general, for example Bioware was ordered to drop everything and make the Anthem trash.

Agree with placing Andromeda here though. That game did had some glaring design flaws (like ship and vehicle being unarmed and alien having just few different faces) but overall it wasn't nearly that bad as haters say.
