Why buy a piece of plastic that sits in the box, and that box sits on a shelf. Theres literally no point to them. You can walk into the mall, look at all the pop figures in each store, and you just had the same experience as you would have if they sat in your house.
Granted, I also can’t stand their art style, but you just described every piece of decorative art. The only requirement of art is for someone to say it is.
Unique art is a statement. Pop figures and the like are deliberately uniformly derivative ripoffs of something else that is actually art.
So to liken it to food, real art is a delicious meal, and Pops are the digested remains of what once was a delicious meal, homogenized in to the always familiar shit, ready for the brainless flies to buzz around.
Pop Figures
I judge them for shitty spending choices.
