Pop vinyl figurines are a mass produced and heavily marketed collectible, the word collectible used in the most ironic way possible. They are [relatively] cheap figurines with thousands of different versions from a wide range of mainstream and niche sources.
I have no idea why anybody would want to fill their home with them, from the perspective of both rarity or aesthetics. They will never be worth anything and they are ugly. If you're a fan of a particular series and want to display something from it, I would personally pay a bit more and buy a high quality figurine. Someone buys a lot of these things though so maybe I'm in the minority.

What is the big deal with these? What do they do??
A girl at work has a few on her desk - but she has the attitude of a 12 year old. Are they kids toys?? I don't get why people are going crazy for them!

I'm in the same boat as you. Had a look at one in Sainsbury's and it didn't seem like anything special. Presumably the high price must be because they've tapped into the "collectable toys for adults" market.
