It's like they put a stop to the die-cast Pops for now...


It definitely does seem like they pulled back on die-cast - I can imagine it was costly to keep making them considering the packaging they had, on top of the figure being die-cast. I won't turn down a die-cast freddy, but based off of the lack of any more being announced, I just don't see it happening at this point. :(


Nope, it used to be a weekly announcement of a die-cast. Or bi-weekly at least. What was the last one made..?

I feel like it was a great Idea but mass producing was too much but making them only exclusives for events like fundays.

Oh they're certainly putting their focus on the itty-bitty because they state it's increasing sales for them. I also think since people are familiar with these going on sale in the near future that they'll just wait instead of paying full price.

Definitely feel the focus on Bitty's - I'm interested to see though who is buying them. I like the die cast but the increased prices made it tough

I think younger collectors / budget conscious parents are collecting them. I feel like they are more bang for your buck since you get a set + a mystery one and they don't take too much space so people are likely to gravitate towards them.

Certainly makes sense. I think they are fun but they're so small!

Same I do like them and how they feel in-hand. I like the weight of it all but at that price and the selection I'm given...I'd rather buy something else. I don't see personally anyone I know buying them but after those Bitty Deluxes came out, I do see more interest and more purchases!

Yes and it may be a controversial opinion, but I think it takes away from the PoPs which can be given so much more details. I think it's great for new collectors and like you said, those on a budget..but from a current collector with over 500+ pops, I can't see myself seemingly "start over" again.

Certainly the key point of the Bitty. You could collect about a 100 before they take the space of 10 PoPs I think loll

I like the bitty pops idea more than the 10" pops for space reasons, I also like the Bitty pop town ideas as well. I also would love to see a Freddy Super Hero DIecast too!!

This is actually a really good idea, have it be 1/5 molds with 2-3 molds having a chase! I’d buy it in an instant

I think they tried that with their chrome line with the different colors. As cool as gold/brass/steal etc sound, would be hard to have it look those different metals but keep it affordable

The Yoda was a unique choice to be produced. I would have preferred maybe Mandalorian or even a Storm trooper in that line first (maybe one day).
