One amusing anecdote from The Courtier & The Heretic is that Leibniz’s nickname in Hanover was Leibt-Nix (Loves Nothing) because people thought he was an atheist (he never went to church in his adult life)

That’s an estimate of the dolls thrown out from their storage facilities in the past few years, not total production, which is much higher.

Funko doesn’t give the count of dolls in their inventories that have been destroyed, but they had inventory mark-downs of $30-$40M over the past couple of years ($39M last year). If they value the dolls at ~20 each, that’s 3-4 million dolls in the past 2 years
