We're operating under twenty questions rules (so I can only answer along a yes/no binary). Go.
(And just to make sure you all still respect me, no, I didn't buy the Funko Pop. It was gifted to me by a friend. But I kept it, so I do deserve some very mild shame.)
Running total of your 20 questions: 1. It is not Dana Scully. 2. It is not a superhero/heroine. 3. It is not a real person. 4. It is not Clinton- and Bush II-era Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta.
5. It is not a character primarily known as a cartoon or animated character. 6. It is not Rosa Diaz. 7. It is a human being. 8. It is not Joey Tribbiani from the Friends televisual universe. 9. It is not Tyrael from the Diablo video games. 10. It is not Ebenezer Scrooge. 11. It is not Dennis Duffy, the Beeper King of New York City, from 30 Rock. 12. It is a character from a television program. 13. The character in question is smaller than my refrigerator. 14. It is not of a human male, cisgendered or otherwise. 15. It is not one of the kids from Van-Pires. 16. The television show this character is from was not from the 1990s. 17. The television show this character is from was not from the 2000s. 18. The television show this character is from is in the science fiction genre. 19. It is not Uhura from Star Trek. 20. It is not a character from Doctor Who.

Is it a superhero/ine?
Also side question that should not count toward the total: how much shame should I feel for owning (2) Funko Pops?

Side response that does not count towards the total: depends what they're of. There's some obvious nerd fodder Funko Pops that I consider inherently shameful (e.g. Stranger Things), and then on the other end there's some stuff that on its face is cool but the fact that you're buying a Funko Pop of it is kind of sus (e.g. Johnny Cash, and yes this is a real thing they actually made) |

Is it Clinton- and Bush II-era Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta? No, although I do also own a John McCain action figure, which somehow is both uglier and worse at standing up unassisted than the Funko Pop is. |

Is it Rosa Diaz? She never has had a real one, as near as google could tell me, but there are a bunch of customs out there.

More basic question we should have settled first, is it of a human being?

(I'm going to spare you a wasted follow-up question and say, no, it's not Joey from Friends either.)

I don't know who that is, and also no. Googling though suggests this is one of the cooler Funko Pops you could own, on account of not having the dead eyes from hell. |

Folks, you're not playing 20 questions right. You can't just guess random things; you have to use your questions economically and narrow down the possibilities. For instance: Is the Funko Pop in question bigger than a refrigerator?

For instance: Is the Funko Pop in question bigger than a refrigerator? Sorry, we'll get the format right. Answer in the form of a question. What is can I buy a vowel, then? |

For instance: Is the Funko Pop in question bigger than a refrigerator? My first question actually narrowed things down quite a bit. 1). We learned that Rosa’s Funko Pop is not Joey from Joey or Friends. 2). We implicitly learned that Rosa’s Funko Pop is not Rachel from Friends by virtue of the fact that she mentioned that a family member was gifted a Rachel Funko Pop. 3) I think, based on her response to my question, we can further assume that Rosa’s Funko Pop is probably not any of the Friends friends. |

This isn't part of the 20 questions. Why should we feel bad about owning funko pops? they're cute-ish little things that remind us of other things that we love, or at least like. My only real rule about them is that I don't buy them online, so finding them in the wild is like a scavenger hunt. Or they're gifts from people who hopefully know what we like.

The character whom the Funko Pop in question is supposed to be is larger than a minifridge, but after googling this character's height and comparing it to the height of the refrigerator in our apartment, which is ~two inches smaller than me, heightwise, I feel comfortable saying the character in question is not bigger than the refrigerator that is most immediately available to me.
