Uggh...
For #2 I tried two different variations of the product (not the company name).
For #4 I got my SPOILERs mixed up and tried the spelling of the one from a different field.

Got way lucky with #2. Fell down a video rabbit hole recently & this popped up. I even mispeeled it, but answer was accepted.

There's a store dedicated to selling these a few blocks away from me. I went in once and was unimpressed.

Forgot to come back and clarify this one. The answer for #2 was FUNKO, and I tried both FUNPOP and POPFUN. For #4, the answer was MOHS (geology) and I typed in MHOS (electrical engineering) instead.

Better today.

I'd never heard of FUNKO, and I STUNKO on that question as a result. But the very next day I saw this in a local store...

:confounded:
(of course... had the question not come up, I probably would not even have noticed this display)
