I prefer vinyl. Just because it's sometimes difficult to get the bobbles to look straight, or look up without manipulation of the spring, or cotton balls.

Re: Pop Bobblehead or Vinyl?
Not at all interested in bobble heads, but I love Star Wars, so alas, I have a bobble head collection! I have yet to take them out of the box, and after reading this thread, I'm a little afraid to!

If Funko ever decides to re-release Marvel bobbleheads as proper vinyl figures, then I'll rebuy what I have.
I definitely would too. The only marvel pops that i have that aren't bobbleheads are my Mark 42 Iron Man and Iron Patriot Protos. Pretty interesting how they made those as vinyl figures.

Re: Pop Bobblehead or Vinyl?
I like both, but will have to give the edge to the bobble heads. There is something really satisfying about bumping a shelf and watching a big group of Star Wars characters wobble their heads at you. I understand there are some issues with the springs and have had some myself, but I feel the additional character the bobble adds is worth it.

Re: Pop Bobblehead or Vinyl?
I prefer vinyl, they're sturdier and you can move them around without feeling you have Jell-O on your hands. But even though I don't like bobbleheads, I always end up buying most of the Spider-Man ones

Cotton balls? I'm intrigued. Do tell.

You kind of wedge them in between the spring and the head to get it to sit how you want and get rid of the bobble.

Got it. I'll have to try that method. Thanks.

Prefer the regular Vinyl, but Bobbleheads don't bother me either *shrugs* Sculpt is what's most important

Re: Pop Bobblehead or Vinyl?
Vinyl! No bobbleheads for me.
This does cause a problem as I love SW & Marvel but refuse to get fully invested because the bobbleheads bother me so much. I have about 6 out of 400+ POPs and they are all Marvel ones...mostly Marvel TV.

Half of mine are bobblehead. Since I never think about it, I would say I don't care in any way.

Re: Pop Bobblehead or Vinyl?
Don't get me wrong, I'm ok with bobbles if it means that's the only format I can get certain characters.

The bobblehead has kept me from buying several Pops I liked. Just not a fan.

I'm a big fan of vinyl over bobble heads but I'm not averse to bobble heads.
