Domed Pops

Postby **T-Diamond Stylus** » Thu Jan 11, 2018 1:07 am

I'm not a fan of any of them but at least the rose and stitch pops make sense. The SW ones are just cash grabs.

Have to agree with this comment.

I truly did not like them or want anything to do with them....until that Experiment 626. That one to me is like a movie moments box set. If the domes can make sense (or actually contain a POP lol

) then I think I can appreciate them.

I think they are very cool, but my lack of space makes it hard for me to pick up more of them...I am trying to resist haha

626 looks amazing, but I just can't get behind the dome look. They take up to much room and I'd have to leave it in the box if I wanted to stack stuff on it. The rose I still don't understand, I get that, that's what it looks like in the movie but why is it a pop? And almost $30. The rose isn't really a character in BATB, it's more of a symbol. Idk, it could have just been a non specific thing funko made kinda like ricks portal gun.
I bought gold bb8 but regretted it and didn't even bother with r2. So domed pops will remain off my want list :/

I have BB-8 and R2-D2. But less because I think they are rad and more because I am a Star Wars junkie. In general though I can take em or leave em.

They look cool and I’ve bought them all but they take up a lot of shelf space.

I think of it like Target's 10" POP. When the first one came out, I thought it was awesome, but given the shelf space requirement and that they do seem to want to push out more in the future. I'm definitely going to hold back and be a lot more picky with whatever POPs up in the future.

So for Target, Hulk made the most sense, I honestly would not have grabbed Groot if he was not like the first of the series. Thanos does make sense, but I may now pass. If the rumors around Porg and Scrooge are true I will also pass.

Dome I bought BB-8 because he was first, skipped on R2, got Enchanted Rose. Skipping on 626.

For all collectors at some point, space is the real issue.

It was a dome in Lilo & Stitch as well:

I'm thinking instead of putting that plastic cone to hold stitch upside down, I would have preferred to just have him glued to the actual dome. I may just customize it that way myself.

You can save a lot of space by going OOB... easily 2-3x as many will fit on the same shelf.

Yea, domed pops should only go with designs that make sense, like the Rose and 626. I think there is an opportunity with the aliens in simpsons and the severed presidential heads from Futurama.

Postby **Ace+ 76** » Thu Jan 11, 2018 9:13 pm

They are cool pop's, but I don't know how many of these I will buy.

Postby **Stitch626** » Thu Jan 11, 2018 10:13 pm

I NEED that Stitch. I love my BB8 and haven't been tempted on any others...until now.

I totally agree on all points. I had R2-D2 but sold it after we went OOB and didn't want to display it due to space. Haven't bought any of the others as it seems like a gimmick that someone at HT is pushing for. The Rose was especially weird since they called it a Pop, but I think that has more to due with tricking people into buying it. Call it a replica like the R&M Portal Gun and not much interest, but slap the Pop on it and magically everyone needs it because they only collect Pop!

The rose isn't the first weird thing to get that distinction though. They already did the GOT Throne and Dr. Who Tardis (although it could kinda qualify as a Ride)

Not a fan, especially for the price point.
I'll take a regular stitch 626 or R2D2/BB8 pop over the domed versions.

I am going to customize mine so that he is just glued to the dome. I think the plastic mounting piece was probably necessary for durability in shipping, but I can’t stand it and I am a huge fan of Stitch so I had to have it. This will be my first attempt at a customization for a Pop. I’m excited about it.

This is the first dome piece I am going to keep. I bought the R2, but it came in broken and I decided to just return it. Have not been too impressed with them overall.

I definitely agree with this.

I like BB8, BB9E, Resistance droid but somehow don't like R2D2.

Just ordered my 626 domed POP today! Can't wait for it to arrive?! The pix look amazing for this pop.

If you have them in a display case like the Detolf, dust is minimal and easier to clean. There really isn't much you can do about dust in or oob, you gotta clean it anyways!

Postby **o2thedbld5** » Fri Jan 12, 2018 1:22 pm

I like the concept of the domes but not going to personally collect them. At least not for now. The BATB rose was perfect but you can't really count that as a Pop in a dome like the others. The Stitch one is kind of offsetting with the clear stand that's holding him up. Not sure what else Funko would come up with in this line, but I don't see it going very far in popularity.

Postby **philipali** » Fri Jan 12, 2018 1:25 pm

depends on the person really.. but not really into this... for one, it's packaging is too big.. not sure if they can fix that though

Cans of condensed air and swiffer dusters are my go-to for cleaning my OOB Pops. I use Ikea Billy bookcases with handmade risers and they get dusty fast, but I'm constantly moving them as I buy new stuff so its easy to keep clean. I envy those with Detolfs but they're more expensive and don't hold as much so a little extra dust is worth having more space for me

Postby **WildberryPOPtarts33** » Fri Jan 12, 2018 6:09 pm

Tbh.... not a fan of these. Only domed pops I would like are worth a grand and in a conch... And I don't even like that packaging style at all. Lol.

Postby **Lyndsay_wagner** » Sun Jan 21, 2018 10:08 am

I have a question, I just received my Stitch and it came broken off of the plastic piece. The rose was broken as well. Do any of you know how to take the domes off without breaking them? I am thinking of just fixing the stitch and putting the dome back on. Thank you:

Too cumbersome if you leave them in box.

I have only bought BB-8 because we collect him. I like the Beauty and the Beast one, but don't know where I would put it, except in a box.

I thought it was “doomed pops” too! XD

Postby **rbugs** » Wed Jan 24, 2018 2:23 am

I think i saw the stith one, i didnt evem realize it was a pop at first. Havent seen the others yet. Interesting idea. I’m glad funko is always trying new products for us

Postby **POPnBeards** » Wed Jan 31, 2018 2:01 pm

Im full on Star Wars so I had to have the BB8 and then the R2, but then the rose and stitch came out so we had to get those too because they are pretty cool. I think the first two were just a fancy way to display the POP, but the rose and stitch actually made use of the "dome" so it made sense. id like to see more like that.

Postby **mactds** » Wed Jan 31, 2018 2:11 pm

I got BB-8, it came lose in shipping some time and the antenna was broken off by the time I got it. I sword off domed pops at that point. I like the idea of the rose from Beauty & The Beast as it's almost a movie moment, but I'm not a big enough Beauty & The Best fan to use the room for it.

Postby **Anrock10** » Wed Jan 31, 2018 2:18 pm

Still not a fan of them

Postby **kingdomcustoms** » Wed Jan 31, 2018 2:39 pm

I'm personally not a fan of the domed ones, though as my wife and I collect Beauty and the Beast that one was necessary, especially for $20 or so and to keep our set complete (as far as different molds go, not fussed about glitter or flocking). Plus it makes total sense, as opposed to the Star Wars ones. It's the only one I'll be getting though, as I can't think of anything else in the lines we collect that could have a domed Pop.

Postby **CaselxASD** » Wed Jan 31, 2018 4:33 pm

Only picked up the rose and Stitch, mainly because Disneyyyyy but overall I'm not too big a fan of them. The rose kinda makes sense but doesn't really feel like a "POP" and the Stitch is such an awesome idea but like others mentioned that clear cone holding him up is almostttt a deal breaker.

I think a "movie moment" might have been cooler for the BnB Rose

I wanted it "diamond collection" with a few petals on the bottom

Definitely agree RE the Rose, even a 6" Beast with tatty robes with a mini rose would have been amazing. And the fact it's sold as a Pop is laughable.

It was a dome in Lilo & Stitch as well:

Can we get this in a giant pop? With an life size sticker on it like groot

too big?

Postby **OMG_I_LOVE_POPS** » Mon Feb 05, 2018 1:25 pm

I really like the 626 one. It makes total sense. I also enjoy seeing Stitch in different outfits. It would be interesting to see what they come up with next.

Postby **badger** » Mon Feb 05, 2018 1:37 pm

I think the 626 looks good, it’s just that they don’t really seem like pops to me, they seem like a different line
