I'm not surprised, the Funko fanbase and resellers were enough for these to sell without a single Transformers fan buying in. Anything to get their hands on rare Pops.

And we already knew how... gullible they are. A few months back in a Facebook group I'm in, someone was asking if they thought they should get their Funko collection insured--and I asked them if they learned nothing from the Beanie Baby craze in the 90s?

I'm looking forward to the time when the Pop craze will crash and burn, punishing all those who only seek to profit from it.

Autobots assemble to defeat the Decepticons from destroying planet earth. Optimus Prime Funko Pop! Half Mask coming soon exclusively at Walmart! Stay tuned for more reveals!

should be really light in fact. Judging by the pic, it's not an helmet, but just a front face mask.

Ah yes, a 'half mask' it says. Meaning the BACK of the wearer's head should be uncovered, and it will be held in place with straps or some such rigging. We can only wait and see. There are several possibilities in terms of materials. It could be thin and flimsy, like those el-cheapo Halloween masks they make for little kids. Or it could be thick and sturdy, like a paintball mask. Still really wide though. If it catches a stiff breeze, it looks as if it would serve as a powerful sail...

This Hallmark Ornaments Funko Pop Optimus Prime measures around 3 1/2 inches tall. Even though it has some scratches or scuff marks it is still pretty detailed for the size.

You buy a digital pack of NFTs (5 NFTs for $9.99 or 15 for $29.99) and have a very small chance of getting a rare one that comes with the physical product redemption. Optimus is the "grail" of the wave, with a 0.28% pull rate. The other 5 physical redemptions, including Bee, have a 1.72% pull rate. Most people just get worthless ones. It's just digital trading cards with the NFT buzzword tacked on and the chance to win a physical Pop! figure. And if you collect the full set, excluding the physical redemption ones, you get a bonus physical Funko of their mascot in a Hasbro t-shirt holding a Simon game.

Meh, business as usual.

Business people are simply people who have identified a niche and provided a service for it. In this case, they've identified the super-hipster niche who like digital things and don't have any brain power and believe that something with no physical form will not appreciate in value.
