No offense, but why would you buy the Gimp figure of all ReAction figures if you don't get why people love these things? I know you're not trying to be offensive, and I'm not trying to be a dick, I just find that funny.

Retro figures are cool. I understand why someone would not be into them, but the appeal is pretty obvious. These are more little pieces of art, a reminder of the 80's, much like most of Funko's stuff is. As someone who can't muster the imagination to play with my toys anymore, I find myself wanting something that might look cool on the shelf or that just reminds me of stuff I enjoy. Articulation is nice, but honestly sometimes it gets to be too much, and how much articulation to you need when it's on a shelf? Not that I prefer 5 POA, but these are based on really cool properties, and that's the pull.

I'm still waiting, hoping, praying for an RJ MacReady from The Thing in this line. I suppose I could just buy a Snake Plissken and turn the eyepatch into sunglasses.
