Help with buying protective cases, what size 4 or 6 inch??

Postby Lms42o » Sat Feb 04, 2017 8:34 am

I have about 20 POP!s and all but 1 are the same exact size, what I would call standard size. The 1 that's different is a 2 pop! Figure fye store exclusive which is the same height, just wider to hold 2 figures. What size do I have for the singles 4 or 6 in and do they make any 2 pc box protectors or is that something I'll have to custom make? Best recommendations on box protectors? I've seen alot on Amazon.
Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions!

Hi Lyndsay,
The normal Pops need a 4" protector. A 6" Pop is oversized like Overwatch Winston. There are definitely Pop protectors for 2-packs as well, but multi packs are not consistent so you need to double check their compatibility.

This thread had a lot of information.

I personally use Retro Protection, but everyone has their favorites.

I was buying them of eBay for a while because I was able to get better deals for large quantities but my last order was purchased from retroprotection. I will say that my experience with retroprotection was amazing so It would recommend them as well.

I second this. I pretty much only order from Retroprotection these days. Not just for Pops but also Star Wars Black Series etc.

Retroprotection is definitely the way to go. I usually share an order with friends so we get the bulk prices.

Retroprotection is the best for 4 inch pops in my opinion. As for specialty sizes retroprotection has plenty but what ever they don't have ivegotprotection is the way to go. The link squidward provided goes in-depth and should provide you with everything you need to know.

Jumping on the Retroprotection bandwagon here. They have been my go-to for normal specialty sized Pops, and I've had nothing but good experiences when ordering through them.

Yes! I just recently bought some Black Series protectors, both the blue/orange and red box sizes. They were prelabeled so I had no problems figuring out which ones to use.

I love the ones for the Black Series. I'm now able to stack them which is great!

Stick with the 4 inch ones, that's what I do! Barnes & Noble have really neat protectors, too.
