I have a small collection of pins so I'll more than likely be adding a few of these guys to it ;) but just a few, I already have ENOUGH addictions as it is lol

Sort of wish they were more figural and unique from each other rather than the same head in a circle concept but I'll likely still get at least a few.

I've been displaying my MCC pins on a cork notice board so these will look cool alongside them. All depends on price of course.

I'm not sure if I'll get any, but I do like the concept.

I think there's a lot of potential in the idea, in finding a way to bring back old characters that have been previously released in POP form, or extending the number of characters in a new set too.

I already collect pins, so I think these are pretty cool
Wonder if they'll have something like convention exclusive pins in the future

They look cute, I'm definitely interested. I wish they'd have a Cap one though instead of Loki (or Iron Man), but I guess his will come later.

It's strange, I quite like the keychains but I'm not feeling the shirts/pins etc. I think it's because the keychains are still Pops, just tiny ones that you can carry around. Not items with images of Pops on them. Also, the big Pop logo is off-putting to me.

Agreed on the logo. Without it I'd probably grab a few, but it's so obtrusive to me that I'll probably end up passing on these. It's too bad these and the MCC patches and pins have to be branded all over them, in my opinion they'd look so much better without the unabashed self advertisement. By now most people who would be interested in these would identify the character art as pop style on first glance anyway.

They look pretty nice although I'm not sold on any of the current ones. I'd buy some Disney ones in a heartbeat for my backpack.
