Incident Details

Because apparently the vinyl figurines known as Funko Pops aren’t a sufficiently useless collectible, Funko decided to get in on the NFT craze by releasing a Bob Ross “Digital Pop”. Ross made major changes to his will just before his death to try to prevent people from merchandising his legacy, and many fans were outraged by the NFT project, which they believe is exactly the sort of thing he was trying to prevent from happening.
