Admittedly I have a few Amiibos (even then not a lot) myself as they serve a gameplay function/bonus for Nintendo Switch games. But yes, I've never understood the purpose of non-functional figurines, such a waste of money, time, and space. Also, the correct term would be consumerism. It's pure wasteful consumerism, which is unnecessary for a functioning capitalist society (especially when you consider most of that plastic crap is made in Commie China anyways.)

It's like the Pogs. Those gotta be the worst case of it.
Amiibo is similar and I never much liked the toys to life concept or how they'd lock game content behind some plastic figurine they'd naturally not make enough of so everyone would go out and buy them for FOMO reasons. But well, I just won't buy them.
I guess I just feel like most people want to waste their money on useless plastic crap. I don't get it. Like even if I like the show that the figure comes from I can't imagine wasting money on a little plastic idol.
