I mean, I don’t blame them for protecting their IP, they just picked a super shitty way to do it.
I don’t even think they would have needed an official cease and desist… just a friendly note of “Hey, none of this Funko material is licensed, please remove it.”
And this nuke should cost them dearly, as there are so many Devs and Artists affected by it.

But they didn’t send a C&D, they sent an AI automated phishing report about a fan page for an actual licensed Funko game.
They weren’t address copyright anything, even if it was there.
Hence the “super shitty way to do it”. ;)
That’s not just a shitty way of doing it, it’s a fraudulent accusation of something unrelated.
