Those are more utilitarian than funko pops, because you can derive enjoyment from painting, customization, and gameplay with miniatures. Hell, even designer/pop art/anime vinyl figures have more qualitative worth because they can be enjoyed as art. Funko Pops are a coat of differently-colored pop culture paint over a basic template of questionable appeal. They're expensive gachapon toys, but you don't even get the gambling- and anticipation-induced dopamine hit of gachapon since you know exactly what you're getting.
