Funko is a company known for producing collectible toys, notably Funko Pop! figures based on pop culture. Chris is a fan and owns several of their products.
Funko Pop!
In May 2018, Chris said he would be interested in Funko making figures of himself and his family.[1]
In June 2018, Chris purchased a Rick and Morty Pickle Rick.[2]
In September 2018, Chris showed off images of his customized Funkos made in his image.[3] One if of Classic Chris, and the other of contemporary Chris. Notably, the Classic Chris figure sports a major design flaw in the form of a crater in the mouth area, however, Chris appears to be proud of his creation nonetheless.
In January 2021, Chris purchased a Target-exclusive Transformers Starscream as a gift for MKRNightVee.[4]
In December 2023, Chris experimented with Bing's AI Image Creator tool to create some images of himself as a Funko.[5]
Cereal
Chris enjoys FunkO's cereal, a specialty food item which comes bundled with a Funko toy. In December 2018's video Address to FunkO's Cereal, Chris addressed Funko, wanting them to both expand the cereal to big-box stores to make it easier for him to buy, and also to sell a version of the cereal without the toy gimmick. It is unlikely Funko could afford this, as its cereal product is highly niche and priced accordingly; in his video, Chris states that he pays $8 for each box of cereal.
