Figure vs bobblehead
So I am curious about something. Why do some characters come in figures and some bobble heads and some both? Why did they decide to make them different?

Re: Figure vs bobblehead
Maybe we should start an FAQ thread about Pop figures?

Re: Figure vs bobblehead
This is why I only collect Disney and other random movie lines. I do not want figures with bases (even if you can remove them) and I do not want bobbles.

Don't worry about it, I still have those moments. I think having an FAQ will be helpful, this question and a couple others have come up several times over the past year+...this will give the new comers an easy place to find answers for their questions.

Hmmm...something for the FAQ. I didn't know that you could take them off their bases. I don't have any based ones...yet

Yea my Starwars came with a base, they easily come off, the bottom of the feet have a tiny hole in them and the base has to little nipple things (for lack of better words) on them. I took all of my Starwars off the base as well, to keep them all looking the same

Re: Figure vs bobblehead
At first I didn't care much for the base, but if I recall correctly, the old Star War figures had a hole on the bottom of their foot too, didn't they? Or was that G.I. Joe...

Re: Figure vs bobblehead
All Hasbro figures (Marvel GI Joe Star Wars etc) have holes in the bottom of their feet for stands.

I don't like the bases, bases are for full sized wobblers

Re: Figure vs bobblehead
My problem with the bases is that they don't always fit snuggly and when you pick up the figure, the base falls off.

I totally agree with you, don't mind them otherwise.

I agree, at first I was using the ones with a base to go on a ledge in my house that was a little rough for the feet standing Pop! They kept falling, the ones with the base would stay, but I came home 1 day and 2 with a base, fell off the base but the base was still up there. I have since removed the base and moved the Pop all together

Re: Figure vs bobblehead
I perfer figures to bobblehead. I also am not a fan of stands. I was worried that Woody was going to be on a stand because I got him at B&N and not the Disney Store but thankfully he didn't have a stand!
